Build it as you go
Add a reference when something becomes the new bar. Portrait a draft when it is worth comparing. There is no “finish the library” deadline — every entry you add makes future matches more useful.

Everything you need to work from better references
For independent artists, songwriters, producers, and production teams — plain language here. Prefer more technical depth? See the FAQ.
Your catalog, clearly organized
One private place for the songs that set the bar and the songs you are making — designed to grow with you over years, not to stay a one-time dump of favorites.
References & My Songs
Mark industry or personal benchmarks as references, and the music you write or produce as My Songs. Same labels for everyone who uses the account.
Song portraits
Tempo (with tap-to-BPM), length, time signature, key and mode (with a piano helper), instruments by color group, stereo map, genre and general tags, theme/notes, and more.
MIDI melody
Import a monophonic lead from a Standard MIDI file. The contour is stored for matching (same shape in another key still counts), with staff-style preview, play, and download of the original file after save.
Completeness cues
Info score and missing-field hints show when a song still needs data. Thin portraits (below your min-info setting) are not forced into false match counts.
Optional listen link
Embed a YouTube link or open a web URL when you want context. Matching never requires uploading multitracks or masters.
Find and rank the right neighbors
Real weighted scores — not a single vague “vibe” number. Always computed fresh from your data.
Similar songs (split list)
On any song detail page, ranked neighbors open with songs at or above your match threshold, then a clear divider and the rest of the list below that bar — so “real matches” and “close but not quite” stay easy to tell apart. Score colors follow the same threshold (green at/above, red under half).
Home: matches, strongest, recent
Sort by how many solid matches a song has, by its strongest single pairing, or by most recent activity — same cards, different priorities. Paginated for large catalogs.
1v1 Compare
Put two songs side by side with an overall percentage and a breakdown of each metric you enabled — including melody contour and a playable shared shape when both songs have MIDI lines.
Instrument families
Soft matching can credit related instruments (ukulele with guitars, trumpet with saxophones) via family credit you control in Settings — exact names still score best.
Paginated catalogs
Reference and new-song lists load in pages (default 15, up to 100 per page). Your page size is remembered; if you open a song and go back, you stay on the same page.
Stereo field & constellation
Beyond lists — how the mix is laid out, and how the library clusters.
Stereo field map
Place each instrument on a grid: Left / Center / Right (or full L–C–R width) and frequency band from sub to high. Compare two maps in 1v1 so width and focus are discussable. Optional tempo pulse (Settings → Visual, off by default) for a beat-synced visual cue.
Constellation
Explore your library as a song graph — free sky, two shores, or orbit. Focus one song and see what sits nearby at your match strength.
Settings that fit how you work
Defaults that make sense out of the box — room to tune when your process is unique.
Metric weights
Turn metrics on or off and set relative weight for tempo, length, rhythm, key, mode, melody, instruments, stereo field, tags, theme, and title — aligned with the song form.
Thresholds & family credit
Set the match % bar for cards and similar lists, a minimum info completeness for scoring, tempo window, and how much same-family instruments (vs exact names) contribute.
Visual
Lyra dark (blue) or Lyra red cockpit themes, plus optional motion such as the stereo map tempo pulse — pulse off by default so the UI stays calm until you opt in.
Catalog hygiene
Manage instruments (with color groups and families), tags (genre vs general), and group lists so every song uses the same language.
English & Spanish · Lyra blue & red
Full interface in both languages and two dark Lyra cockpit themes so mixed rooms and late sessions do not need a second tool.
