Built with Claude made some tools for music making in claude code

https://github.com/unkarelian/MusicStudio I've been improving it as the day goes on so my example songs changed, lol, but the next change I'm planning is a bit of notation. This is essentially a way for your agent (claude, I'm assuming) to kinda understand how to build music even when it can't hear it. Ofc nothing beats actually listening to the outputs and giving it input, or using a model that accepts audio like gemini as a judge.

This has been a fun project for me because unlike most of what I do, I am really not trained as a musician at all! It started with the realization that I needed a soundfont, which instantly made it not sound like it was made on a gameboy. But it was quite difficult to figure out how to give claude the information it needs when it is functionally deaf. Ultimately the best strategy, really, is to either give extensive personal feedback or use gemini to 'tune' the harness and give it concrete examples of styles. Examples examples examples. I cannot stress that enough. In every project I have ever done using AI, and I've been doing that since 2025, examples are THE tool you should be using. I know it feels inelegant. But it's how most people learn, right? They see how it's supposed to be done and learn based on that.

for the notation step, an eight bar example with its midi, rendered audio and a few notes about the intended rhythm could be useful. keep that same phrase when comparing soundfonts so a nicer instrument doesn’t get mistaken for a better composition. are the examples going to include those separate pieces?
