• Abstract: Polyphonic music generation is still a challenge direction due to its correct between generating melody and harmony. Most of the previous studies used RNN-based models. However, the RNN-based models are hard to establish the relationship between long-distance notes. In this paper, we propose a polyphonic music generation neural network named Choir Transformer[ https://github.com/Zjy0401/choir-transformer], with relative positional attention to better model the structure of music. We also proposed a music representation suitable for polyphonic music generation. The performance of Choir Transformer surpasses the previous state-of-the-art accuracy of 4.06%. We also measures the harmony metrics of polyphonic music. Experiments show that the harmony metrics are close to the music of Bach. In practical application, the generated melody and rhythm can be adjusted according to the specified input, with different styles of music like folk music or pop music and so on.

  Key challenge in melody transcription is building methods which can handle broad audio containing any number of instrument ensembles and musical styles. To confront this challenge, we leverage representations from Jukebox (Dhariwal et al. 2020), a generative model of broad music audio. We derive a new dataset containing $50$ hours of melody transcriptions from crowdsourced annotations of broad music.

  We propose Museformer, a Transformer with a novel fine- and coarse-grained attention for music generation. Specifically, with the fine-grained attention, a token of a specific bar directly attends to all the tokens of the bars that are most relevant to music structures. With the coarse-grained attention, a token only attends to the summarization of the other bars rather than each token of them so as to reduce the computational cost.

  Melody choralization, i.e. generating a four-part chorale based on a user-given melody, has long been closely associated with J.S. Bach chorales. Previous neural network-based systems rarely focus on chorale generation conditioned on a chord progression. We propose DeepChoir, a melody choralization system, which can generate a four-part chorale for a given melody conditioned on a chord progression.

In this paper, we are interested in bringing the two together to construct a single model that exhibits both strengths. Experiments show that MuseMorphose outperforms recurrent neural network (RNN) based prior art on numerous widely-used metrics for style transfer tasks.
