README

song-analysis

**Claude Code skills that turn a song into a band chart — chords, lyrics and commentary — including the odd meters, modes and drones that other analysis tools flatten into 4/4 major/minor. No DAW needed; Ableton Live is an optional extra.**

Just name a song — "analyze Talk It Over by Leon Bridges" — and Claude finds the recording, checks the pick with you, and analyzes it.
Or hand it an mp3 and the lyrics.
It finds the pulse, sweeps for the meter, separates stems, transcribes the bass, names the mode, reads the chords and times the lyrics.
It writes a chart a band can play from: chords, lyrics, song map and commentary.
Runs offline on an Apple Silicon Mac; every step is a script with tests.

The skills

No DAW needed:

Skill	Use when
`song-analysis`	A song (a file, or just its name) has to become tempo, meter, key/mode, stems, bass line, chords per bar, timed lyrics, sections, or a band chart
`bass-transcribe`	You played bass (or sang a line) and want it as MIDI, a Live clip or a tab

Optional — only if you use **Ableton Live** (11/12, with the AbletonMCP server):

Skill	Use when
`song-to-ableton`	You want a song rebuilt, covered or reinterpreted in Live — analysis feeding the build
`ableton-mcp`	Driving Live over MCP: tracks, clips, notes, devices, mixing, time signature — and the gotchas
`ableton-arrangement`	Arranging in Live: sections, bass and drum patterns in any meter, FX chains, dynamics
`ableton-song-remix`	Remix or sketch an analysed song in Live: the original vocal warped onto Live's bar grid, new drums, bass and keys on the chart's chords, in the song's meter

![A song (or just its name) becomes pulse, an 11/8 meter grouped 6+5, chords on the bar grid, timed lyrics, then a band chart (and, optionally, an Ableton Live clip)](docs/img/pipeline.svg)
