    From the web page:

    We introduce NotaGen, a symbolic music generation model aims to explore the potential of producing high-quality classical sheet music.

    ...

    ABC notation is a musical notation system that uses a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols to represent musical notes. We adopt a modified version---interleaved ABC notation, as our data representation. In this format, different voices of the same bar are rearranged into a single line and differentiated using voice indicators ''[V:]''. Furthermore, we remove bars with full rests.

    ...

    In addition to classical music, we have also attempted to fine-tune NotaGen to the pop music style. We used around 100 popular songs from the last century to fine-tune the pre-trained model and applied reinforcement learning.

      I might find it useful if it could generate a full arrangement from a lead sheet, or add an extra track. Or figuring out a chord progression from a melody might be useful?
