How to use Enodo

Choose a tool, work in your browser and keep control of the final musical decision. This page covers the interface rather than teaching generic songwriting theory.

Start with the right workspace

Scaffold

Paste reference lyrics you are allowed to use, generate a rhythm map, then replace each line with original writing.

Open Scaffold →

Notepad

Write from a blank page and use live syllable counts as feedback without imposing target lines.

Open Notepad →

Lyric Analyzer

Paste one draft and switch among line counts, rap bars and meter contour without duplicating the text.

Open Lyric Analyzer →

Rhyme Finder

Review estimated rhyme families and confidence, then correct labels where your accent or delivery differs.

Open Rhyme Finder →

Scaffold workflow

Paste and generate

Section headings such as [Verse] are retained. Parenthetical adlibs are counted separately.

Draft line by line

The target count, current count and match state remain visible. A count is a guide, not a requirement.

Use Outline and Pool

Outline jumps to a section. Pool stores candidate lines and can assign them back to the Draft.

Save or back up

Autosave uses this browser. Named projects stay local; export an .enodo.json backup before clearing site data or changing devices.

Import and export

Use More → Export scaffold to download a versioned backup. When importing, Enodo previews the project name and line counts before asking to replace the current session. Plain-text lyric export contains your written lines; scaffold export contains project structure and preferences.

Do not import backups from people you do not trust. Enodo validates the file structure, but a backup can still replace the current local session after you confirm.

Troubleshooting

My saved work disappeared

Check that you are using the same browser, device and enodolyrics.com origin. Private browsing and browser cleanup may remove local storage. Restore a downloaded backup if available.

A syllable count looks wrong

Edit the count where the interface allows it. Pronunciation, compounds, accent and sung delivery can differ from a dictionary estimate.

The mobile workspace feels crowded

Use the Draft, Outline and Pool tabs instead of viewing every rail at once. Less frequent actions are grouped under More.

I still need help

Email enodolyrics@gmail.com and include the page and browser you were using. Do not send private lyrics unless necessary.

Decorative markers and motion

The blue marker accents are optional decoration. Use the Doodles switch to hide or show them. If your device requests reduced motion, enabled markers appear without drawing or retracting animation.
