Could you build this?

Partial A UI for composing and analyzing music is buildable, and a genetic algorithm can be coded with AI help. Making output actually respect counterpoint rules and parsing sheet music well requires real music theory expertise and careful algorithm design.

What it would actually take: Build a desktop app (for example, Python or C# with a GUI toolkit) with a genetic algorithm whose fitness function encodes species counterpoint and genre rules, plus a MusicXML or MIDI parser for analysis. The hard part is encoding harmony and counterpoint rules into a fitness function that produces musical results, and sheet-music recognition if OCR is included. That needs music theory expertise and iterative tuning by ear.
