YingMusic-Singer: Controllable Singing Voice Synthesis with Flexible Lyric Manipulation and Annotation-free Melody Guidance
About
Regenerating singing voices with altered lyrics while preserving melody consistency remains challenging, as existing methods either offer limited controllability or require laborious manual alignment. We propose YingMusic-Singer, a fully diffusion-based model enabling melody-controllable singing voice synthesis with flexible lyric manipulation. The model takes three inputs: an optional timbre reference, a melody-providing singing clip, and modified lyrics, without manual alignment. Trained with curriculum learning and Group Relative Policy Optimization, YingMusic-Singer achieves stronger melody preservation and lyric adherence than Vevo2, the most comparable baseline supporting melody control without manual alignment. We also introduce LyricEditBench, the first benchmark for melody-preserving lyric modification evaluation. The code, weights, benchmark, and demos are publicly available at https://github.com/ASLP-lab/YingMusic-Singer-Plus.
