problems running this code

[Redtile]

ok so im really rather new to python and this probably isnt the best code to start learning on but any way for some reason i can input most of the beginning code but when i get to the import deepmusic.songstruct as music it give me this error, " http://prntscr.com/ekikab " the rest of the code from the file How_to_generate_music_in_tensorflow_LIVE/deepmusic/composer.py i really dont know if this code is just supposed to be put into a python 3.5 terminal or if its just a concept, i have installed everything (other than opencv because idk how but i have the files) on the read me file and it seemed to work (that was through the cmd terminal) i've been trying to get similar code to work for a few days now and still cant because something like this gives me an error that i dont know how to trouble shoot and it is also really late at night so i dont even know if this is where i should be posting this or not, any way any help is greatly appreciated or even just code i can copy and paste into a python terminal and it just does it and brings up a interface showing me whats its doing but yeah, help please.

than when i start the line looks like C:\python35\python.exe C:\musicai\main.py
after python.exe u press "space" so its not written together ...i hope this helps ..i had to figure all that stuff out myself too.

@Eumi I use Windows 10 too ... and i run the main.py as u say,but i got the error:'
FileNotFoundError: [WinError 3] The system cannot find the specified path。: 'E:\How_to_generate_music_in_tensorflow_LIVE-master\data/midi\ragtimemusic'',could u please help me out?！thank u

If you use Windows System.
modify the musicdata.py file like below

self.DATA_DIR_MIDI = 'data\\midi' # Originals midi files
self.DATA_DIR_PLAY = 'data\\play' # Target folder to show the reconstructed files
self.DATA_DIR_SAMPLES = 'data\\samples' # Training/testing samples after pre-processing

Hi,

I was getting the same error as the @IEEE-FELLOW. After manually creating the folders data/midi/ragtimemusic, data/play, data/samples I am getting the following error.

raise ValueError('Empty dataset. Check that the folder exist and contains supported midi files.')
ValueError: Empty dataset. Check that the folder exist and contains supported midi files.

When I tried to add some midi file under data/midi/ragtimemusic folder I get the following.

Raw songs not found. Extracting from midi files...
File ignored 
Notes belong to the wrong tracks (6 instead of 0)
...
ValueError: Empty dataset. Check that the folder exist and contains supported midi files.

@llSourcell where can I find the correct midi files in order to run this code? Or how can I process my midi files and bring them to the right format in order to run this code?

Many thanks,
Eleanna

@eleansa I have been using files like the ones you can download around here: http://www.trachtman.org/ragtime/.
The format used for them is midi.

Hope this helps!

Thanks very much for your response @AlexMuresan! I will try it out!

@eleansa I think one of the problems might be the MIDI file type.
As you can see here the only supported type is 1.

This Wikipedia article might help with understanding them, a bit:

A type 0 file contains the entire performance, merged onto a single track, while type 1 files may contain any number of tracks that are performed in synchrony. Type 2 files are rarely used[37] and store multiple arrangements, with each arrangement having its own track and intended to be played in sequence.

Let me know if it works for you.

hi @eleansa ,
I came to this repo today, and it appears that the link you provided previously has expired.
Do you happen to know is there anywhere else we could get the right training midi data for this code?
Appreciate your help.
