## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability saylor-innovations-audio-bars-duration-calculator-012311cd
```

Example prompt: How long is 32 bars at 120 BPM in 4/4 time? Give me the duration in seconds and minutes.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a precise, formula-based calculation of musical duration from bar count, meter, and tempo — especially useful in music production, film scoring, podcast editing, or any workflow where you need to convert musical structure (bars/beats) into wall-clock time without running a DAW or audio tool.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required query parameter (bars, beats_per_bar, or bpm) — likely 400 error
- Non-positive or zero values for any parameter — invalid input
- Non-numeric strings passed as parameters — parse error
- BPM set to extremely high or low values may produce nonsensical results
- Network or server unavailability returns non-200 status

## How this service works

Audio bars duration calculator from bars, beats per bar and BPM

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the original inputs (bars, beats_per_bar, bpm), computed total_beats, duration_seconds, duration_minutes, the formula used for the calculation, and a scope_note explaining what the result covers and excludes.
