“I used to count every routine song by hand and write down where each eight starts. Now I upload the song and get every set with its time, so in rehearsal I can jump straight to the part we are working on.”
What you get
The start time of every 8-count
See where 8-count 24 starts, so you can skip to it in rehearsal.
Lyrics on the count
Each word sits under the count it lands on. Bold counts 1, 3, 5 and 7 show where moves usually start.

Questions
- What is an 8-count sheet?
- A table of your music in 8-counts. Each row is one 8-count with the time it starts, so you can plan moves on paper and skip straight to that spot in rehearsal. Cheer coaches send one to their music producer, and choreographers use them to teach.
- How does Choreosheet find the counts?
- It listens for the beat and for beat 1 of each bar, then groups two bars into an 8-count. It also writes down the lyrics and puts each word under the count it lands on. You can play the song and watch the counts light up to check them.
- What if count 1 is in the wrong place?
- Tap “Set count 1 here” while the song plays, or move every set by 4 counts with one button. If the tempo is doubled or halved, switch it back with one tap. The sheet updates straight away.
- Does it work for songs that are not in 4/4?
- Yes. Waltz time (3/4) is counted in sets of 6. If the detector gets the time signature wrong, you can change it.
- Can I use my competition mix or a cut of the song?
- Yes. Upload the exact file you dance to, and the counts follow the bars in your edit. A set with more or fewer than 8 counts is flagged on the sheet, which usually marks a cut.
- Who can hear my music?
- Only you. Your file is stored to make and play your sheet, and only your account can open it. It is never used to train AI models. Delete the sheet and the audio goes with it.
- What does it cost?
- Your first full sheet is free when you log in. Then $4 a song, 10 songs for $19, or $39 for the Season Pass (12 months). You pay once and nothing renews.
- What if the counts are wrong?
- Fix count 1 with one tap while the song plays. If the sheet still does not work for your song, email support@choreosheet.com within 14 days for a full refund.
- Can I paste a YouTube link?
- No. Upload a file you have the right to use, such as a purchased song or your mix from your music producer.
