This dataset is crafted for training multi-modal audio-language models (such as [Spotify Llark](https://research.atspotify.com/2023/10/llark-a-multimodal-foundation-model-for-music/) and [Qwen2-Audio](https://github.com/QwenLM/Qwen2-Audio)) with a focus on music transcription tasks.

### Why ABC?
|
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
+
The reasons for choosing this notation are:
|
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
+
- It's a minimalist format for writing music
|
| 46 |
+
- It's widely used and popular, language models already have good comprehension and know a lot about ABC notation.
|
| 47 |
+
- It's flexible and can easily be extended to include tempo changes, time signature changes, additional playing styles like mentioned above, etc…

+
### Dataset Modifications to ABC Format
|
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
+
- Default octaves have been assigned to each instrument, using their most commonly played range. This reduces redundant octave notation.
|
| 52 |
+
- For consistency, I excluded pieces that contain time signature changes or significant tempo variations (greater than 10 BPM).
|
| 53 |
+
- All samples in this dataset contain active musical parts - sections with complete silence have been removed.
