Git repo size is ~6Gb

Congratulations on getting this released! I've been looking forward to working with it since ISMIR

A small issue you might already know about - it looks like you already moved the pretrained models to Google Drive but they still appear to be in this Github repo as the size is 5.77Gb when cloning.

$ git clone [email protected]:polimi-ispl/larsnet.git

You could either add something to the readme about doing a shallow clone (--depth 1) if people don't need the history.

The more drastic option would be to delete the large file(s) from the git repo using something like:

git filter-branch --force --index-filter \
  'git rm --cached --ignore-unmatch path/to/large_model_file.pth' \
  --prune-empty --tag-name-filter cat -- --all

You'd then need to force push to GitHub to overwrite the previous history.

As I say, it's not a big deal but it might make the repo easier to live with over time.
