pretty_name: Chord Llama Dataset
The dataset used to train Chord Llama, A model for generating sheet music. This dataset contains entries of an altered version of the MusicXML format, and cannot be used to generate MusicXML directly. A fine-tuned model and interface will be released in the future.
The data is sourced from Wikifonia and Part 1 of MScoreLib. Both of these databases are originally in MusicXML format.

Please see music_xml_converter.ipynb for the notebook used to generate the dataset.
The data was then cleaned to maximize tokenization in a few ways:
- Everything that added readability to the file without changing the meaning of the music was removed
- All parts were separated into individual documents
- All parts containing more than one
<attributes>
element were discarded - The MusicXML was converted into YAML format to lower token count using the Python library
xmltodict
- If the necessary data of the YAML version of the document was over Llama 2's context length, the document was split
- The
<attributes>
element saved toinstruction
- The first half of the measures was set to the input
- The second half of the measures was set to the output
