BELIEVEYOUME, Vocal Syllable Baselines

Shiner / The Life and Times. Each song's known lyrics, syllabified and forced-aligned to its vocal. Paste into Songsterr's Edit Lyrics as a base, then tab the melody for your melisma.

What this is: the reliable, automated half. Held vowels are single syllables. The note-head split (your t-i- i-i-me style) is a per-song tab choice the audio cannot supply, so you carve those in when you tab each melody. Asleep In The Trunk is on its own page.
