An agent skill for turning a mixed song recording into a playable five-piece school band arrangement.

It combines time-aligned source separation, musical analysis, practical arranging, notation checks, and MuseScore export to deliver rehearsal-ready MIDI, PDF, and editable MSCZ files.

Functional releases are recorded here with their version and date. Documentation-only changes do not create a new entry.

This functional update adds:

• A compact score-event model and deterministic MusicXML compiler for dead notes, mixed muted/open-string events, tuplets, grace notes, ties, and TAB output.
• Global single-note fingering and position planning for lead guitar and bass, bounded playability repair attempts, benchmarks, and hash-bound reports.
• Independent rhythm and note-level fidelity evidence audits, including reference-score and reviewed-mix/stems workflows.
• Stronger formal export gates for source/report binding, native dead-note playback, rhythm/fidelity checks, and explicit review-draft status.
• Expanded arranging and notation guidance, updated score templates, and regression coverage for the new workflow.

These excerpts show representative bars from four generated five-piece arrangements. Each image is a lightweight PNG so it renders directly in GitHub's README view.

Audio to Band Score is built for users who have a finished song recording but need a practical band chart rather than raw stems or an unedited MIDI transcription.

• Separates a mixed recording into time-aligned analysis stems with Demucs.
• Compares four-source and six-source separation results when the higher-quality profile is used.
• Identifies song sections, tempo candidates, time signatures, harmony, bass movement, riffs, fills, and musical entry points.
• Reassigns parts between two guitars, bass, keyboard, and drums with playability in mind.
• Supports beginner, school-amateur intermediate, and advanced difficulty targets.
• Produces a structured, editable MuseScore score instead of treating raw recognition output as a finished chart.
• Audits score structure, TAB string/fret relationships, export safety, and file consistency.
• Uses local and free tools by default; audio is not uploaded to a paid external API by this workflow.

The default arrangement is a five-instrument accompaniment for a singer:

The vocal track is used to understand song structure, breathing space, and entry points. Vocals are not added to the instrumental score by default.

Mixed recording
    → time-aligned source separation
    → beat, section, harmony, and note-candidate analysis
    → instrument assignment and playability edits
    → MuseScore notation
    → structural audit and visual/file checks
    → MIDI + PDF + editable MSCZ

The guiding principle is playable fidelity: preserve the song's harmonic movement, groove, structure, recognizable riffs, and important transitions, while simplifying or redistributing details that would not be practical for the requested players.

The workflow does not install software or download model weights automatically. Prepare a dedicated environment and install only the components needed for the task:

python3.11 -m venv work/audio-env
source work/audio-env/bin/activate
python -m pip install demucs numpy soundfile imageio-ffmpeg

On Windows, use the Python executable under work/audio-env/Scripts/ after creating the virtual environment. Python 3.11 is the recommended compatibility baseline; verify package compatibility with the interpreter already available on your machine before installing.

You also need:

• FFmpeg for audio decoding. It may be provided by the system, --ffmpeg, or imageio-ffmpeg.
• MuseScore Studio for opening the score and exporting MIDI/PDF.
• Optional transcription and QA tools such as librosa, basic-pitch, pretty_midi, mido, music21, pypdf, and Poppler, depending on the task.
• CUDA is optional. CPU processing is supported when no compatible GPU is available.

This repository is packaged around SKILL.md and agents/openai.yaml. Make the repository available to your agent runtime, then invoke it with a request such as:

Use $audio-to-band-score to arrange "song.wav" for lead guitar, rhythm guitar,
bass, keyboard, and drums at the default school-amateur intermediate level.
Preserve the original song structure and recognizable riffs, then deliver MIDI,
PDF, and editable MSCZ files.

The user's requested tuning, key, difficulty, song length, instrumentation, and arrangement constraints take precedence over the defaults.

The separation helper can be used independently for analysis:

python scripts/separate_audio.py \
  --input "path/to/song.wav" \
  --out-dir "work/separation-v1" \
  --profile high \
  --device auto

high runs both the four-source and six-source Demucs analyses. balanced runs the six-source analysis only and is intended for internal trials or resource-constrained environments. Output directories must be new; existing directories are never overwritten.

After the agent has prepared work/final.mscz, audit it and export from the same native MuseScore file:

python scripts/score_tools.py audit \
  --score "work/final.mscz" \
  --report "work/audit.json"

python scripts/score_tools.py export \
  --score "work/final.mscz" \
  --out-dir "work/export-v1" \
  --name "song_band" \
  --musescore "/path/to/MuseScore"

The export helper refuses to overwrite an existing output directory and publishes the directory only when all three requested formats are generated successfully.

The standard delivery contains:

Working files may also include manifest.json, separated WAV stems, analysis notes, MIDI candidates, MusicXML, and rendered PDF pages. These are kept as evidence and QA artifacts unless the user asks for them.

This skill treats model output as evidence, not as unquestionable truth.

• Separation stems are kept on a common timeline and checked for sample-rate, channel, and frame-count consistency.
• Six-source guitar and piano outputs are candidates; they are not assumed to be perfect isolated tracks or two independent guitar parts.
• Guitar, bass, keyboard, and drum parts are cross-checked against the mix, repeated sections, harmony, rhythm, and instrument-specific constraints.
• score_tools.py audit performs structural and selected TAB checks. It does not prove that every beat, note, articulation, or simultaneous performance is musically correct.
• The workflow does not claim zero-error transcription, human listening review, SDR/SIR accuracy, or full audio fidelity unless the relevant evidence actually exists.
• Model weights are not bundled with the repository. They are downloaded on demand by the local environment when required.
• The skill is not intended for speech-to-text, lyric translation, or downloading an existing score.

Only process recordings and reference material that you have the right to use.

Run the bundled tests from the repository root:

python -m unittest discover -s scripts -p "test_*.py" -v

The test suite covers separation edge cases, bounded model-download retries, timeline validation, TAB pitch/string checks, structural score checks, and export safeguards. Passing these tests verifies the helper workflow; it is not a measure of musical transcription accuracy.

Issues and pull requests are welcome. When reporting a problem, include:

• operating system and Python version;
• installed versions of Demucs, PyTorch, FFmpeg, and MuseScore;
• the command or agent request that was used;
• the relevant manifest.json, audit report, or error log;
• a short description of the expected and observed behavior.

Please do not commit private recordings, model caches, credentials, generated __pycache__ files, or other large temporary artifacts.

This project builds on the following tools and standards:

• Demucs for music source separation.
• Basic Pitch for optional single-instrument note candidates.
• librosa for optional audio and beat analysis.
• MuseScore Studio for notation, score editing, and export.
• MusicXML for interoperable notation data.
