contents Loopable music generation systems enable diverse applications, but they often lack controllability and customization capabilities. We argue that enhancing controllability can enrich these models, with emotional expression being a crucial aspect for both creators and listeners. Hence, building upon LooperGP, a loopable tablature generation model, this paper explores endowing systems with control over conveyed emotions. To enable such conditional generation, we propose integrating musical knowledge by utilizing multi-granular semantic and musical features during model training and inference. Specifically, we incorporate song-level features (Emotion Labels, Tempo, and Mode) and bar-level features (Tonal Tension) together to guide emotional expression. Through algorithmic and human evaluations, we demonstrate the approach's effectiveness in producing music conveying two contrasting target emotions, happiness and sadness. An ablation study is also conducted to clarify the contributing factors behind our approach's results.
