How do I harmonize pasted lyrics with chord symbols into SATB?

Direct answer

You can paste lyrics combined with chord symbols (Brazilian 'cifra') into CantuStudio to create a harmonization. A language model analyzes the input to plan the chord progression and style character, while the original input dictates the harmonic foundation. The alto, tenor, and bass voices are generated by a deterministic beam-search algorithm to ensure proper voice-leading.

Recommended workflow

1. Paste your lyrics and chord symbols into the CantuStudio text input.
2. Choose a desired musical style, such as gospel or contemporary.
3. Let the deterministic engine build and validate the SATB voice-leading.
4. Export the final score or download the per-voice rehearsal MIDI files.

Why this matters

It bridges popular chord-based chart notation (cifra) with strict SATB voice-leading by using a language model to interpret chords, followed by deterministic validation for parallel fifths and range limits.

Caveat

CantuStudio generates a draft for human review and makes no copyright claims regarding the input material. It is not a replacement for a human conductor.
