adapt MusicVAE for other needs

[Kasper Jordaens]

Hi,

I'm trying to get music_vae to work with string quartets

Right now, the model that comes closest is the hierdec-trio_16bar model. Instead I want it to work on generic string quartets, which has 4 instead of three voices.

Before diving in, I want to get a clear view on what I'm starting. Is this a lot of work, or should I be good with just

- adding a new config to magenta/magenta/models/music_vae/configs.py

- train a new model ( I already did this once for an existing config), I have some data (~1000 midi files) ready as 4 track musicXMLfiles converted to noteseq

- point the music_vae_generate to the new config and model

or is this a very naive approach and impossible?

Thanks
