Hello all,
Following a request from community members, we just deployed a new data type called “Musical Notation” in order to store musical notation in Wikidata. Property creators can now find this new data type in the list and create new properties with it.
A property with musical notation data type will display the notation in Lilypond https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q195946 format, using the score extension https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Score.
For example, if you enter this code as a value: \relative c' { c d e f | g2 g | a4 a a a | g1 |}, it will be displayed as a score:
[image: Screenshot musical notation Wikidata 1.png] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Screenshot_musical_notation_Wikidata_1.png
The score also appears on the diff pages.
[image: Screenshot musical notation Wikidata 2.png] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Screenshot_musical_notation_Wikidata_2.png
The existing property LilyPond notation (P5482) https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P5482 is used on around 300 items https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AWhatLinksHere&target=Property%3AP5482&namespace=0. If you need any help from the developers to change the datatype of the the property or to migrate the content, please let me know.
One bug is already known and we’re working on fixing it: if the score is long, it gets out of the statement box and overlaps with the edit button.
If you encounter any issue, feel free to create a subtask of this ticket https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T208489.
Cheers,
Woohoooo! Great news!

Cool!
PS: Feature request, could there be a play button for listening to notation? Would even be cooler with this!

This is great!
Shouldn't the property be named ''modern musical notation'' to distinguish it from other forms of musical notations from around the world?

It shouldn't as Lilypond can be used for any musical notations (at least in theory, not sure what is indeed implemented both on Lylipond and on Wikidata, I saw it used for medieval musical notation, on Wikisource IIRC) .

Hi Nicolas,
Although it is not possible today, but hoping to see that day, when Lilypond will include all kinds of notations. As a matter of fact, we are stuck in that part in Bengali Wikisource, where there are books https://bn.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B6%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B7:%E0%A6%85%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%81%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%A8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%A7%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8&limit=500&offset=0&ns102=1&search=%E0%A6%A8%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%B0%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%98%E0%A6%A3%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%9F%3A%E0%A6%B8%E0%A7%8D%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%B0%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BF%E0%A6%A4%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%A8&advancedSearch-current={%22namespaces%22:[102]} on music using a musical notation from India called Akarmatrik Swaralipi. I guess, this is true for many oriental music systems, which Lilypond has not included till now.
Anyway, there can be different musical notations for a single music item. For that reason, P518 can be a mandatory qualifier for this property, which serves the purpose to distinguish the notations.
