Subject: [Wikidata] New data type: musical notation with Lilypond format
To: Discussion list for the Wikidata project. <wikidata(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
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:

The score also appears on the diff pages.

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

Cheers,
