- The page lists 741 per-note regression cases, but no end-to-end conversation checks.
Field notes
The workflow starts with a text prompt or a melody played on screen keys, a computer keyboard, or a MIDI keyboard. The page says the model supplies a score draft while code handles note placement, rendering, and loudness checks; users can edit in a piano roll and export stems or MIDI to a DAW. The macOS download is v0.1 and unsigned, and the page describes Windows as under test rather than available.
