A smart way to translate guitar chords into piano sheet music with Python
I chose Python as a programming language here because, as you could probably guess, there are myriads of libraries in Python for working with music. I found mingus to be the simplest for working with guitar chords and music21 for generating the piano score. It might be possible though to do everything with music21 only, because it's extremely powerful, but I found mixing the two libraries to be easier than implementing the functionality I needed from mingus with music21.

Looking for help to create a program
If you are interested in doing anything with Python, be sure to check out Music21, which has a lot of cool features — including doing twelve-tone matrix stuff like this — built-in.

[D] Is MusicGPT a viable possibility?
It's definitely a viable possiblity, and there's quite a few companeis already doing it. If you want to explore doing it yourself, I'd check out https://web.mit.edu/music21/ and build some basic models using LSTM etc. to have some fun using open source MIDI data sets like https://magenta.tensorflow.org/datasets/maestro .

Ask HN: Is there a OS tool which queries MIDI datasets by chord progression/key?
A little manual, but music21[0] can do the analysis!

Is there a music term that indicates a thing that could be either a note or an rest?
There's no universally accepted term for the latter concept that I know of. For example, the music21 music processing library calls the general class that includes notes, chords and rests Music21Objects, and you'd think they'd call them something better if they could.

Ask HN: Is there a OS tool which queries MIDI datasets by chord progression/key?
Just to follow up: I started building a python CLI tool. I'm only 2 days in but the 'happy path' is working: https://github.com/shiehn/midi_query
What are some alternatives?
When comparing music21 and midi_query you can also consider the following projects:
midi2tones - Fork of MIDITONES - Convert MIDI files to a simplified time-ordered sequence of note commands
opensheetmusicdisplay - OpenSheetMusicDisplay renders sheet music in MusicXML format in your web browser based on VexFlow. OSMD is brought to you by PhonicScore.com.
