What stands out
What its maker marketed at launch, and what people found later, each with its source.
Score-first song generation
Writes an editable melody-and-chord plan in ABC notation, then renders a full song with vocals and accompaniment (48 kHz stereo).
Zero-shot covers and agentic editing
Covers from reference recordings (0.647 CLEWS mAP, self-reported) and conversational editing that turns musical feedback into score revisions.
