# Beat Timeline
A paused master-timeline orchestration spine that pins titled beat rows to evenly spaced named labels. Each row enters on its label, holds with the sequence, then exits with the group.
**Beat Timeline**
```html beat-timeline.html
Beat Timeline
```
Copy npx hyperframes add beat-timeline to the clipboard
That writes one file: `compositions/components/beat-timeline.html`.
## Paste it into your composition
Open `compositions/components/beat-timeline.html` and copy what is inside into your own composition.
A component has no size or duration of its own. It takes both from the composition
you paste it into.
## Variables
Every one of these has a default, so the piece works untouched. Set the ones you
want to change on the element:
| Variable | Default | Accepts | What it does |
| - | - | - | - |
| `beatCount` | `4` | 2 to 6, step 1 | Number of beat rows in the sequence. |
| `interval` | `0.6` | 0.2s to 2s, step 0.05s | Base time between consecutive beat markers. |
| `labels` | `One,Two,Three,Four` | string | Comma-separated beat titles, one per beat. Extra entries are ignored and missing entries fall back to Beat N. |
Set them with `data-variable-values` on the element that mounts it. These are the
defaults, so this behaves exactly like the preview above until you change one:
```html wrap
```
{/* hf:generated-footer */}
