Tap out a tempo, keep a steady practice beat, and plan a set that fits your time. Two simple helpers for rehearsal and performance.
Tap along to a song or choose a BPM, then press Start when you are ready to practice.
Add your song lengths, pauses between songs and any planned breaks to see how your set fits.
Calculate to see your total and how it compares with your target. Results use the durations you enter; BPM is not used to guess song length.
Live performances vary. Introductions, applause, tuning and changes of instrument can all take longer than expected. Include them in your gaps or breaks and treat the result as a plan.
60 ÷ 120 = 0.5 seconds per beat. With four beats per bar, 4 × 0.5 = 2 seconds per bar. The accent repeats every four clicks.
A slower tempo makes each beat longer. Changing the beats per bar changes the accent pattern, not the BPM.
3:30 + 4:15 + 2:45 = 10:30 of music. Three songs have two gaps, so two 30-second pauses add 1:00. With no additional break, the set totals 11:30.
A 15:00 target leaves 3:30 remaining. Adding a 60-second break once would make the total 12:30 and leave 2:30. No gap is counted after the last song.
