Commercial use of SheetSage2 transcription outputs for YouTube monetization

Hello SheetSage2 team,

I'm an independent music creator planning to publish original AI-assisted songs on my personal YouTube channel and potentially monetize them.

My workflow is:

  1. Generate an original song using MiniMax Music 3.
  2. Use SheetSage2 to transcribe that recording into ABC melody notation.
  3. Use the resulting ABC notation as input to YuE2 to generate a new version of my original song, using my own lyrics and creative direction.
  4. Publish the final song on YouTube with monetization enabled.

I understand that SheetSage2 is released under CC BY-NC 4.0.

Could you please clarify whether the non-commercial restriction also applies to the ABC/MIDI transcription outputs generated by SheetSage2?

Specifically:

  1. Can an individual creator commercially use the ABC/MIDI transcription outputs of their own original music?
  2. Would the workflow described above require a separate commercial license or written permission from the SheetSage2 team?
  3. Are there any attribution or other licensing requirements for publishing and monetizing the final music on YouTube?

I understand that licensing requirements for MiniMax Music 3 and YuE2 may need to be considered separately. My question specifically concerns SheetSage2 and its transcription outputs.

Thank you very much for your time and clarification.

Best regards,
An independent music creator
