Length is measured in bars or measures. Your song can be anywhere from 1 bar to 16 bars. Bars are notated by alternating background colors: gray and white.

Beats per bar divide bars into smaller parts. They are marked by vertical (up and down) dark blue lines.

Splitting beats further divides the bars into smaller parts. They are marked by vertical light blue lines.

A scale can either be Major (Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, Do), Pentatonic (Do, Re, Mi, Sol, La), or Chromatic (Do, Ri, Re, Mi, Fa, Si, Sol, Le, La, Te, Ti, Do). Essentially, pentatonic has the least options for notes, major has a moderate amount of options, and chromatic has all the notes).

`Start on' refers to the lowest note you can use for your project.

 Range is measured in octaves. The bigger the octave range, the more notes you can use in your project. An octave is the distance between two `same letter notes', but one is higher than the other.
