What can I do with Rhymecraft?

• The eventual goal is to have Rhymecraft be a tool for the creation of rap lyrics.
• At the moment, though, there are really only two things that people may find helpful:
  1. You can create lyrics videos where each syllable is highlighted or on-screen for the duration it's performed.
     • This creates an especially-nice effect for fast lyrics.
       • Example: K.A.A.N. - KAANCEPTS
  2. You can view the timing (rhythm) of lyrics on a graph, where each row of the graph represents one measure (four beats).
     • This can help you more-quickly analyze how a rapper is constructing their lyrics.
