Section Colors and Labels
Section Colors and Labels
A well-labeled waveform is a map of the song. NoteHound gives you built-in labels and a palette of colors to build a visual layout that makes sense at a glance.
The 10 Section Colors
NoteHound provides exactly 10 preset colors:
- Blue
- Purple
- Teal
- Pink
- Yellow
- Gray
- Orange
- Green
- Red
- Indigo
Colors are purely visual — they have no effect on playback.
Built-In Labels and Default Colors
Each preset label has a default color association:
- Intro — gray
- Verse — blue
- Chorus — purple
- Bridge — teal
- Solo — pink
- Outro — gray
- Custom — yellow (type any label you need, e.g., “Pre-Chorus”, “Breakdown”, “Bar 1-8”)
You can change the color of any section regardless of its label.
Color Tips
- Use one color for all verses and another for all choruses
- Use a bright color for the passage you’re actively working on
- Use a neutral color for sections you’ve already transcribed
Visibility Toggle
Toggle section visibility from the waveform controls. When visibility is off, sections are hidden from the waveform but not deleted.
Show on Piano Roll and Tab Editor
Sections can also appear as overlays in the Piano Roll and Guitar Tab editor. Enable this in the section settings. This helps you see song structure while transcribing, so you always know which part of the song you’re working on.
Tip: Use distinct colors for Verse and Chorus from the start — after a few listening passes it becomes easy to identify sections at a glance without reading the labels.
