Classical Music Generator

For this project, we will use Python3.7, managing the necessary Python packages using Pipenv: Python Dev Workflow for Humans. You can install it following the steps shown at their installation section.

To install the requirements listed in the Pipfile, run:

$ pipenv install

To add a new package to the project:

$ pipenv install <package>

To activate the python shell, run the following command, which will spawn a new shell subprocess, which can be deactivated by using exit.

$ pipenv shell

First of all, to work with this project, we are going to need a Environment variable pointing to our root. E.g. if our project is at /home/projects/bachpropagation, just add to your`favorite bash profile:

export BACHPROPAGATION_ROOT_PATH=/home/projects/bachpropagation

To download the raw midi files, run the script at src/dataset called crawler.py, which will download all MIDI files into res/dataset/raw. Then, to make them easier to process, we will convert those into CSV files by running src/dataset/parser.py that will write the processed files into res/dataset/processed.
