How to use the keyboard shortcuts while recording the rhythm

Written explanation

• Background:
  • I added these shortcuts as a way to very-quickly make corrections to the timing of the syllables.
  • I would say that using these shortcuts is practically essential for getting an entire song's lyrics' timing accurately recorded.
  • Note that the shortcuts are only enabled after you have clicked the 'Record' button (so that it says 'Stop Recording').
  • Note that you can make corrections to just a single syllable without needing to then re-record the rhythm of the syllables that follow it.
• The shortcuts:
  • To start or stop the audio: press 'e'.
  • To change the speed of the audio playback:
    • Press '1' for full-speed.
    • Press '2' for half-speed (0.5x).
    • Press '3' for quarter speed (0.25x).
  • To move the audio one second backwards, press 'q'.  To move the audio one second forwards, press 'w'.
  • To set the current syllable (the one that will have its timing recorded when you press the spacebar):
    • Press 'a' to set it to the syllable before the current syllable (in other words, taking one step backwards).
    • Press 's' to set it to the syllable after the current syllable (in other words, taking one step forwards).
  • To scroll the syllabified lyrics down or up:
    • Press 'z' to scroll the syllabified lyrics up (viewing earlier lyrics).
    • Press 'x' to scroll the syllabified lyrics downwards (viewing later lyrics).

2. In a second tab, go to https://www.rhymecraft.guru/.
3. In the Rhymecraft app, create a new song. (Song → New song)
4. On the trainer page, select which audio segment you want to practice with. 
5. Using the audio file and lyrics shown on the trainer page, follow the instructions for how to get a song into Rhymecraft.
6. You should now have both the lyrics and the rhythm of those lyrics contained in a new song in the Rhymecraft app.
7. Copy the ID of your song as shown in the URL. 
   1. The ID should be an integer.
8. On the trainer page, paste your song ID into the input box that says, "What's your song ID?". 
9. Click the "Submit" button. 
10. Scroll down to see your results. 
11. For any syllables that show up in the trainer results highlighted in red, go back to the app and use the keyboard shortcuts to try to correct the timing of those syllables.
12. When you have gotten your results to show up mostly green (with some yellow and no red), try recording the rhythm of another song listed on the training page.
