Given the following image and a prompt, will a browser chatbot be able to identify every note in the soprano, alto, tenor, and bass parts?
Needs to be correct:
pitch class (if letters are given without sharp/flat, "natural" will be assumed regardless of key signature)
duration
order of notes
Does not need to be specified/correct:
key signature, time signature
articulations, slurs, barlines, clefs, chords
octaves of note pitches
temporal positions of notes
format/preface/conclusion text
It can use any method for specifying pitch and duration as long as it's unambiguous to map pitch to one of 12 semitone options, and map duration to a real number.
Burden of proof will be on YES-holders. I'm happy to hop on a call to witness a YES-worthy setup. Non-free tiers allowed. Must be a browser-based, US public, general-purpose chatbot. May use up to 4 prompts on up to 4 sessions. No second chances for a demonstrator within 30 days.
I'll accept suggestions (but may veto) prompts and models to try. Otherwise in 2027 I'll just use this prompt on the best free chatgpt, gemini, and claude, filling in each of the 4 part names:
For this line of music, please list the notes/durations of the _______ part.
I won't bet on this market.
1,000@CraigDemel I'll stick with generally intelligent chatbots. I understand that could be LLMs, or a interface composing LLM with image model and tools, or maybe evolve away from LLM paradigms somehow in 2026
@CraigDemel (On a personal note, I'd be curious about non-chatbot tools that could reliably get the job done too)
