Hey @simedw this is an awesome project! A few quick ideas in case you hadn't tried them yet: 1. Have you considered representing different parts/voices independently? That would be harder to get good data for, but would likely help with voice-leading and phrasing and... 2. ... durational representation -> would it simplify your durational representation system if you modelled ties? E.g., then you wouldn't need a token to represent a duration worth 4 triplet eighth notes because you could model the tie of a quarter and a single triplet eighth. That would greatly reduce your durational vocab, right? 3. I've created a lot of academic tools for musical syntax analysis for humdrum, CRIM, VIS, and also made a couple of minor contributions to music21. I'd be happy to recommend a few automated analyses that might help the model with syntax or phrasing.
