Recent progress in natural language processing has been adapted to the symbolic music modality. Language models, such as Transformers, have been used with symbolic music for a variety of tasks among which music generation, modeling or transcription, with state-of-the-art performances. These models are beginning to be used in production products. To encode and decode music for the backbone model, they need to rely on tokenizers, whose role is to serialize music into sequences of distinct elements called tokens. MidiTok is an open-source library allowing to tokenize symbolic music with great flexibility and extended features. It features the most popular music tokenizations, under a unified API. It is made to be easily used and extensible for everyone.

  1. BeatEdit: Symbolic Music Generation as Explicit Editing

    cs.SD 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0

    Explicit edit operations on Beat encoding outperform AR and diffusion on music error correction, accompaniment editing, and segment completion while running under 100 ms.

  2. BEAT: Tokenizing and Generating Symbolic Music by Uniform Temporal Steps

    cs.SD 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    BEAT tokenizes symbolic music by uniform beat steps with sparse per-beat pitch encodings, producing higher quality and more coherent music continuation and accompaniment than event-based tokenizations.

  3. RPPNet: Perceptually-Grouped Rhythm-Pitch Primitives for Long-Term Structure Melody Generation via Boundary-Aware Modeling

    cs.SD 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    RPPNet generates melodies by planning variable-length perceptually grouped rhythm-pitch primitives first and then decoding them into notes, beating bar-level baselines in subjective structure and musicality ratings.

  4. BeatEdit: Symbolic Music Generation as Explicit Editing

    cs.SD 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    BeatEdit applies text-style edit tags to a beat-grid music encoding, outperforming generative baselines on error correction, accompaniment editing, and segment completion.

  5. BEAT: Tokenizing and Generating Symbolic Music by Uniform Temporal Steps

    cs.SD 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A uniform-temporal-step tokenization for symbolic music improves generation quality, efficiency, and long-range coherence over event-based alternatives.
