SMPTE Score

SMPTE Score can calculate all relationship combinations of SMPTE timecode, Tempo (beats per minute) and Score length (written measures).


Timecode formats presently supported:
- 24 fps
- 25 fps
- 29.97d drop-frame
- 30 fps

The tempo range is from 5 to 290 beats per minute.

The time signatures range from one to twelve beats per bar:
1/2, 2/2, 3/2, 4/2, 5/2, 6/2, 7/2, 8/2, 9/2, 10/2, 11/2, 12/2, 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, 7/4, 8/4, 9/4, 10/4, 11/4, 12/4, 1/8, 2/8, 3/8, 4/8, 5/8, 6/8, 7/8, 8/8, 9/8, 10/8, 11/8, 12/8, 1/16, 2/16, 3/16, 4/16, 5/16, 6/16, 7/16, 8/16, 9/16, 10/16, 11/16, 12/16,
3/4, 6/4, 9/4, 12/4, 15/4, 18/4, 21/4, 24/4, 27/4, 30/4, 33/4, 36/4, 3/8, 6/8, 9/8, 12/8, 15/8, 18/8, 21/8, 24/8, 27/8, 30/8, 33/8, 36/8, 3/16, 6/16, 9/16, 12/16, 15/16, 18/16, 21/16, 24/16, 27/16, 30/16, 33/16, 36/16, 3/32, 6/32, 9/32, 12/32, 15/32, 18/32, 21/32, 24/32, 27/32, 30/32, 33/32, 36/32

If you want to write a song 4 minutes long and at 108 beats per minute, it'll give you how many measures it needs to be (in a given time signature).

Likewise, given the number of measures, and the time you want it to take, it'll tell you how fast you need to play it. Or if you know how many measures it is and how fast you want to play it, SMPTE Score will tell you how long it will take.

You can also use it as a simple timecode converter - just select between the different timecodes.

After you find out that your score in 7/8 needs to be played at 170bpm, check out my other app "Maestro" to see how to conduct it.
