+# SongCompose Dataset
+
+This repository hosts the official dataset used in **[SongComposer](https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.17645)**, a system designed for aligning lyrics and melody for LLMs-based vocal composition.
+
+## 🌟 Overview
+
+The dataset includes three types of aligned resources, grouped by language (English and Chinese):
+
+- `lyric`: Unpaired lyrics in English and Chinese
+- `melody`: Unpaired melodies (note sequences and durations)
+- `pair`: Aligned lyric-melody pairs with note durations, rest durations, structures, and tempo (bpm)
+
+Each top-level key in the JSON corresponds to a category (`lyric`, `melody`, `pair`), and each of them has nested keys `en` and `cn` for language split.
+
+## 📂 Structure
+
+Example format:
+
+```json
+{
+  "pair": {
+    "en": [
+      {
+        "lyrics": "...",
+        "notes": [...],
+        "notes_duration": [...],
+        "rest_duration": [...],
+        "structure": [...],
+        "bpm": 120
+      },
+      ...
+    ],
+    "cn": [ ... ]
+  },
+  "melody": {
+    "all": [ ... ],
+  },
+  "lyric": {
+    "en": [ ... ],
+    "cn": [ ... ]
+  }
+}
+```
