Original posting from Mercor

Mercor is hiring musician-transcribers to transcribe AI-generated songs into MIDI for a frontier generative-music AI lab.

You'll transcribe the lead vocal melody of a track - note by note (pitch, start time, duration) - using MuseScore (free, open-source; piano-roll view + native MIDI export). This is a single-line, monophonic transcription task; full multi-track transcription is a later expansion.

You're a fit if you have strong ear-training and transcription ability - composers, session musicians, conservatory-trained players, or professional transcribers who can identify pitch, rhythm, and note duration by ear.

Details: Remote · flexible hours · a short sample transcription for calibration before staffing · background check + confidentiality agreement required.
