Song Arrangement

The Song Arrangement system organizes your composition into a timeline of sections, each referencing a scene.

ARRANGEMENT PANEL

The arrangement appears as a horizontal strip in the transport bar area:

• Click "Arr" to enable/disable the arrangement
• Click + to add a new section
• Double-click a section to edit its properties (name, length, scene, crossfade, seed)
• Drag the right edge of a section to resize it
• Right-click a section for options (duplicate, delete, insert before/after)

SONG STRUCTURE GENERATOR

Use File > Generate Song Structure to automatically create arrangements:

• Template — Select a structure (Verse-Chorus, ABAB, Build-Drop, etc.)
• Intensity — Controls overall dynamic range (0-1)
• Seed — Random seed for reproducibility

SECTION PROPERTIES

• Name — Display label for the section
• Length — Duration in bars
• Scene — Which scene to recall (-1 = no scene change)
• Crossfade — Transition duration in beats
• Seed — Random seed for generators (0 = free)

Sections play sequentially. At each section boundary, Noemi automatically recalls the assigned scene with the specified crossfade duration.

CONDUCTOR ENERGY

Each section carries an energy value (0-1). When the conductor is active (any Generator has Follow Conductor turned on -- see Generator), the arrangement drives the conductor's shared energy curve from these per-section values. Energy ramps smoothly toward each new section's target over a couple of seconds, so following generators swell and settle in step with the song's structure instead of jumping abruptly.
