MusicLayout: Explicit Structural Planning for Controllable Text-to-Music Generation
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.09035v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Text-to-music generation has advanced rapidly, but current systems still rely primarily on global text prompts, leaving the structural organization of generated music implicit and difficult to inspect, control, or revise before audio generation. To address this issue, we introduce MusicLayout, an explicit intermediate representation for controlling musical structure in text-to-music generation. MusicLayout describes a musical piece as a time-aligned layout of sections, textures, repetitions, variations, and instrument-level arrangements, servin
