Recent advances in AI music generation have enabled users to create complete musical pieces from natural-language prompts. However, most existing systems follow a prompt-and-regenerate paradigm, making iterative refinement difficult because users must repeatedly recreate compositions instead of directly evolving existing musical ideas.

arXiv:2608. 09035v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Text-to-music generation has advanced rapidly, but current systems still rely primarily on global text prompts, leaving the structural organization of generated music implicit and difficult to inspect, control, or revise before audio generation.

In this report, we present a unified song generation framework capable of producing high-quality full-length music from lyrics, text descriptions, and musical attributes. The proposed framework supports three tasks: Lyrics-to-Song Generation, which generates complete songs from text descriptions, lyrics, and musical attributes; Instrumental Music Generation, which creates music without vocals; and Cover Song Generation, which reinterprets existing songs with different styles while preserving their melodic content.
The paper introduces Musical Attention, a Transformer-based music generation model that incorporates meta-information such as bar numbers, key, signatures, and tempos into its attention mechanism. By representing each note with five events (pitch, bar number, onset, duration, velocity) plus three metadata elements, the model captures correlations among eight features, improving musical coherence and reducing repetition. Experiments show that Musical Attention outperforms prior methods like Full Attention and Strided Attention in coherence, variation, and overall quality, producing more diverse and harmonically consistent melodies.
