SheetSage-Pro open-sources bilingual audio-to-lead-sheet transcription ahead of ISMIR 2026

affige_yang · x · 2026-11-10

SheetSage-Pro, a Late-Breaking Demo at ISMIR 2026, is now open source under MIT. Feed it a song (local file or YouTube link) and it produces an editable lead sheet with melody, chord symbols, bar lines from downbeat detection, section labels, and note-aligned lyrics in Mandarin or English, output as JSON, MusicXML, or MIDI.

The pipeline chains pretrained models on one metrical grid: Mel-Band RoFormer for source separation, Beat This! for beat/downbeat tracking, All-In-One (+SongPrep labels) for structure, GAME for melody transcription, BTC variants for chords, SongPrep for lyric transcription, and Phonsa/SOFA for lyric alignment.
