Use when composing or arranging a song in Ableton Live — section design, track layout, bass and drum patterns in any meter, lead lines, effects chains, dynamics — including reinterpreting a song in a new genre or building from a chart or MIDI.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Ableton Arrangement — composing full songs via MCP

Song-agnostic patterns for fleshing a song idea (MIDI or chart in hand) into a full
arrangement. Validated on a hardcore-punk 11/4 reinterpretation of a Byzantine hymn;
applies to any genre/key/meter. Connection mechanics and device gotchas live in the
`ableton-mcp` skill; analysis of existing recordings in `song-analysis`.

## Track layout template

Works for rock/punk/electronic/cinematic reinterpretation:

| Track | Role |
|---|---|
| **Reference (muted)** | Original melody/reference audio for A/B |
| **Melody / Voices** | Lead vocal or chant melody MIDI |
| **Bass** | e.g. `Deep Hop Bass` rack, `Electric Basic Bass`, `String Studio` |
| **Rhythm Guitar** | Power chords — `Guitar-Dual Amped Heavy` (heavy) / `Crunch` (medium) |
| **Drums** | Kit (Memphis Studio etc.) — kick=36, snare=38, hh_closed=42, hh_open=46, crash=49, ride=51, toms=41/43/45 |
| **Lead Guitar** | Same guitar rack as rhythm, Amp Gain pushed (~115/127) |
| **Color/Aux** | Trumpet, strings, pads — punctuates bridges, fills holes |

One MIDI clip per track at song length (e.g. 198 beats for 18 bars of 11/4). Slot 8 is a

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add peripan/music-workflow-skills/ableton-arrangement@sha256:d289cda85e719016

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261012.1b07b24, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
