Yes, I know it and looked at it. I wondered how they made a NoteEncoder, I am still struggling with that. Nupic says that notes that are "close" to each other should have the most overlapping bits. But what is "close" in music?

1) a scalarencoder, where the number of the note is encoded. In this case "close" means almost the same frequency. 2) 2 scalarencoders, one for the note and a different one for the octave. This because a note sounds almost the same as that same note an octave lower or an octave higher. 3) a typical noteencoder and a scalarencoder for the octave. The noteencoder should take the notes in the following cyclical order: C,G,D,A,E,.....Es,Bes,F,C, each a quint apart. In this case notes that are close together sound better together. C-G sounds better together than C-Cis

Probably I should make all 3 encoders, just to test.

    I am working on a model, that reads melodies and chords from
    midifiles, mainly chorales from JS Bach. When the model is given a
    new melody without chords, it should find the chords, that sound
    correct, conform what it learned from the midifiles.

Nice, I love classical music and music related examples :)
You probably know, but just in case: check out nupic.audio project and a
former hackathon submission that composed song on trained MIDI music.
