ONOTE is a unified framework that treats music as a scientifically structured domain of measurable cross-representation correspondences, focusing on omnimodal notation processing centered on sheet music. It introduces a test-only benchmark drawing from diverse musical sources—including staff, Jianpu, and tablature—across varied genres, instruments, and structural conditions, with aligned multimodal derivatives. The framework supports four complementary tasks—score understanding, notation conversion, audio transcription, and symbolic generation—while constructing a provenance-bearing proposition hypergraph from external music-theory materials for evidence retrieval and deterministic validity checks.

Objective evaluation of expressive MIDI piano performances typically relies on attribute statistics such as timing, velocity, and duration of individual notes. However, these methods often disregard dependencies between notes, which poses a potential limitation in assessing the similarity between two sets of performances.

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.
