 ## Dataset Summary
 
-The **Irish Massive ABC Notation (IrishMAN)** dataset consists of 216,284 Irish music tunes represented in the widely adopted [ABC notation](https://abcnotation.com/) format. This format utilizes ASCII text to encompass a comprehensive set of musical symbols, including pitches, rhythms, and essential structural elements such as section boundaries.
+The **Irish Massive ABC Notation (IrishMAN)** dataset includes 216,284 Irish music tunes transcribed in ABC notation. These tunes were collected from thesession.org and abcnotation.com, both renowned for sharing traditional music. To ensure uniformity in formatting, all tunes were converted to XML and then back to ABC using [scripts](https://wim.vree.org/svgParse/), and fields containing natural language (e.g., titles and lyrics) were removed.
 
-Curated from thesession.org and abcnotation.com, prominent platforms for sharing folk and traditional music, the dataset includes 214,122 tunes for training and 2,162 tunes for evaluation. Notably, all tunes are automatically annotated with control codes, providing valuable representations of their musical forms and structures. Additionally, a [subset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/sander-wood/irishman/blob/main/harmony.json) of the tunes (over 40K) includes chord symbols, further enhancing the dataset's potential for various applications, including melody harmonization and harmonic analysis.
+Each tune is automatically annotated with control codes derived from ABC symbols, as described in below. These control codes offer insights into the musical forms and structures of each composition.
 
-As a comprehensive resource, the IrishMAN dataset caters to researchers in musicology and artificial intelligence, offering insights into the exploration and understanding of Irish traditional music. Furthermore, all tunes in the dataset are non-copyrighted, ensuring its ethical and legal usage for research and creative projects. However, it is important to be aware that the automatic extraction of control codes for musical forms may introduce some limitations in accuracy.
+Among the rich features of the IrishMAN dataset is a specific [subset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/sander-wood/irishman/blob/main/harmony.json) that contains over 40,000 tunes, each human-annotated with chord symbols. This addition considerably broadens the dataset's scope, making it especially suitable for applications in melody harmonization and harmonic analysis.
+
+A noteworthy aspect is the copyright status. All tunes in the dataset are in the public domain, ensuring ethical and legal usage for research and creative projects.
