The paper introduces Whole-Piece Training for Symbolic Music Language Models using Full-Horizon Compressed Recurrence (FHCR), which maintains the full temporal horizon of recurrent memory while compressing its key-value representation to fit GPU limits. An evaluation diagnostic, KV-Reset Context Utilization (KRCU), demonstrates that full-horizon models retain long-range context beyond local windows, whereas limiting recurrent memory weakens this dependence. FHCR thus preserves long-range context utilization while significantly reducing recurrent memory cost, enabling efficient whole-piece modeling.

arXiv:2607. 13587v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automatic symbolic music analysis has made substantial progress, yet existing systems are typically designed for a single mode of use, such as full-score prediction, and therefore do not match the broader range of operations that arise in analysis workflows, including partial completion, local correction, and iterative refinement.
