NotaGen is a symbolic music generation model that produces high-quality classical sheet music using LLM-style training paradigms: pre-training on 1.6M pieces, fine-tuning on ~9K classical compositions with period-composer-instrumentation prompts, and CLaMP-DPO reinforcement learning. It is released in Python with pre-trained weights (110M-516M parameters) on HuggingFace under an MIT license.

Use cases

  • generate classical sheet music from a period-composer-instrumentation prompt
  • fine-tune a symbolic music generation model on my own compositions
  • experiment with DPO reinforcement learning for music generation
  • generate ABC notation scores with a language model
  • download pretrained music generation model weights
  • research controllable symbolic music generation

When to choose

  • you need classical-style sheet music generation conditioned on composer/instrumentation prompts
  • you want a research-grade symbolic music model with open weights and MIT license
  • you want to study or extend LLM training paradigms (pretrain, SFT, DPO) applied to music

When to avoid

  • you need audio synthesis or MIDI production rather than symbolic notation
  • you want a polished end-user music app rather than a research codebase
  • you lack a GPU or cannot run PyTorch training/inference locally
