Portal talk:Sheet music

How should I include, for instance, Image:Qaumi Tarana Sheet Music.png, the national Anthem of Pakistan? Should it have its own page? I don't want to go through a lot of work if it's not necessary. Quadell 21:54, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * essentially stealing the code from When Morning Gilds the Sky and changing the Image:name to Image:Qaumi Tarana Sheet Music.png - the fact it doesn't list the lyrics is not a barrier to being hosted on Wikisource - and the hope is that in the future we can use other markUps to integrate our existing music collection ala Help:Sheet music.

Lilypond
Hello,

It is a pity that Lilypond is not enable on Wikisource, because I think that sheet music images vs. Lilypond sheet music is like scanned texts vs. source texts. The former is not very useful without the source. The devs refuse to enable Lilypond. Yann 22:38, 9 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Lilypond images can be saved onto Commons, with the source code added to the image page. See commons:Category:GNU LilyPond images and commons:Template:LilyPond source.  Building up the collection of lilypond output will justify dev time on this. John Vandenberg 00:11, 10 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Interesting. Here is some Lilypond files and sheet music images to be copied here: Category:Music_sheets Yann 00:28, 10 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Is there a bugtracker request for this feature? Quadell 12:47, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes: http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=189 and http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9536 Yann 13:25, 10 January 2008 (UTC)


 * To future readers, this issue has been resolved. You can see on the extension list that the lilypond plugin Score has been installed.

earliest sheet music
This says that Thomas Edison's recording of Mary had a little lamb in 1877 was the previously the first recorded human voice, but "Au Clair de la Lune" has been found to be the earliest recorded human voice, captured on April 9, 1860. John Vandenberg (chat) 22:41, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
