Tips & Best Practices

1. Use square-bracket style tags in the lyrics field to signal structure: [Verse 1], [Chorus], [Guitar Solo]
2. Specify BPM and key in the style field (e.g., "90 BPM, C major, indie rock") for more predictable results
3. Generate 4 variations simultaneously and keep the best — credits are cheap on paid plans
4. Use "Extend" on a strong chorus to build a full 3-minute track without regenerating the whole song
