Hello Wikisourcerers!

See below for the announcement I just sent to the wikitech-ambassadors list about the new Score extension available to you all.

It's already been announced on the Scriptorium, as many of you probably know: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:Scriptorium#Score_extension_.28a_b...

I just wanted to cover all the bases.

All the best,

Greg

Hello Ambassadors!

I wanted to give you a heads up that there is a new extension available for use on Wikimedia project wikis; Score!

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Score

It was enabled yesterday during the regularly scheduled MediaWiki deployment window.

See what it can do at this English Wikipedia Help page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup#Musical_notation

This is a long time request, first reported in August of 2004: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=189

We'll announce this in a more wider fashion in a few days, but I wanted to give you all a heads up.

Thanks, and as always, please do let me know if you have any questions.

Greg
