When a user requests music creation, always follow this 4-step interactive workflow. Do NOT skip steps or jump directly to generation.
Analyze the user's input and identify which dimensions are already covered vs. missing. Then ask targeted follow-up questions to fill the gaps.
Dimension checklist — check which are provided, ask about the rest. Each question MUST provide lettered options (A/B/C/...) for the user to choose from:

This is the most important step. Do NOT write a flat prompt. First design a Song Blueprint (段落蓝图) that plans each section's musical characteristics, then derive the prompt and lyrics from it.
Based on gathered requirements, plan the section-by-section musical journey. Each section should have distinct characteristics.
Blueprint format:
🎼 **歌曲蓝图**
| 段落 | 情绪/能量 | 乐器/编曲 | 人声表现 | 制作特点 |
|------|-----------|-----------|----------|----------|
| [Intro] | ... | ... | ... | ... |
| [Verse 1] | ... | ... | ... | ... |
| [Pre Chorus] | ... | ... | ... | ... |
| [Chorus] | ... | ... | ... | ... |
| ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |
Blueprint example (用户需求: "一首关于杭州的中国风民谣，温柔开头，副歌大气"):
🎼 **歌曲蓝图**
| 段落 | 情绪/能量 | 乐器/编曲 | 人声表现 | 制作特点 |
|------|-----------|-----------|----------|----------|
| [Intro] | 宁静悠远 ⚡① | 古筝独奏琶音 | — | 空间感大，远处水声质感 |
| [Verse 1] | 细腻叙述 ⚡② | +笛子旋律，轻拨琵琶 | 温柔低吟，呼吸感 | 亲密感，少混响 |
| [Verse 2] | 情感渐浓 ⚡③ | +二胡加入，节奏轻启 | 声线渐开，带感情 | 开始加宽声场 |
| [Pre Chorus] | 蓄势待发 ⚡⑤ | 弦乐铺底渐强，鼓点加入 | 力度上升，情绪推动 | 渐强(crescendo) |
| [Chorus] | 大气磅礴 ⚡⑧ | 全编制爆发：弦乐+鼓+笛+琵琶 | 高亢嘹亮，饱满和声 | "音墙"，宽广声场 |
| [Bridge] | 回归内省 ⚡③ | 仅钢琴+古筝 | 轻声吟唱 | 突然安静，对比反差 |
| [Chorus] | 最终爆发 ⚡⑨ | 全编制+合唱层叠 | 全力释放，高音 | 最高能量 |
| [Outro] | 渐归平静 ⚡② | 古筝回归独奏 | — | 渐弱收尾 |
⚡① ~ ⚡⑩ = energy level, 用于可视化段落间的能量变化曲线。
Blueprint design principles:
将蓝图中的信息转化为 prompt。好的 prompt 需要同时描述整体基调和段落间的动态变化。
Prompt construction formula:
[整体风格/BPM] + [人声描述 + 段落间变化] + [核心乐器] + [动态弧线描述] + [声场/制作特点]
Example (based on the 杭州 blueprint above):
A poetic and cinematic Chinese folk pop at 78 BPM, featuring a tender female vocal that transitions from intimate whispering in the verses to powerful soaring belting in the choruses with layered harmonies. The arrangement builds from a solo guzheng intro, gradually adding dizi (bamboo flute), pipa, and erhu through the verses, swelling to a full orchestral "wall of sound" with strings and percussion in the choruses, before retreating to a quiet guzheng outro. The production shifts from a dry, intimate space in the verses to a wide, reverberant arena soundscape in the choruses.
Key: The prompt explicitly describes what changes between sections — not just a flat list of attributes.
Write lyrics using annotated structure tags and parenthetical directions to reinforce the blueprint:
[Intro]
（古筝琶音，空灵悠远）
[Verse 1: 温柔低吟]
西湖 烟雨 朦胧了 谁的眼
断桥 残雪 化作 心头的暖
[Verse 2: 情感渐浓]
（笛声加入，轻柔的鼓点）
三潭 映月 点亮了 千年夜
灵隐 钟声 唤醒 梦中的蝶
[Pre Chorus: 情绪递进]
（弦乐渐强 / Rising strings）
这片土地 承载了 多少故事
每一寸 都是 我的根
[Chorus: 大气爆发]
（Full band kicks in / 全编制爆发）
杭州 我的杭州
你是 我心中 永远的歌
...
[Bridge: 回归平静]
（Music drops to piano and guzheng only / 仅剩钢琴与古筝）
闭上眼 你还在那里
...
[Chorus: 最终高潮]
（Maximum energy / 最高能量，加入合唱层）
杭州 我的杭州
...
[Outro: 渐弱收尾]
（古筝独奏，渐弱 / Guzheng solo, fading out）

78 BPM 的诗意中国风民谣，温柔女声演唱。主歌低吟浅唱、气息感十足，到副歌转为高亢嘹亮的全力释放。编曲从古筝独奏开头，主歌逐渐加入笛子、琵琶，到副歌时弦乐、鼓点全编制爆发形成"音墙"，Bridge回归古筝独奏的宁静，尾声再次爆发后古筝收尾渐弱。
