You're ready to create a template!

Just follow these simple steps and you'll be up and running in no time!

  • Fill in the "from" and "to" parameters: these are the only parameters that are required
  • Copy as many bars, notes etc as you need, replacing # with numbers 1, 2, 3… etc.
  • Delete any parameters you don't need

Remember:

  • You can set help to on, the press "preview", to view useful information
  • You must use {{!}} wherever you want a | to be rendered in the timeline
  • Large borders will displace bars in many browsers
  • Text should not be wider than its containing bar, as this may cause compatibility issues - use <br> to create a new line
  • Units default to em, the height and width of an 'M'.
