Including Music[edit]
Hi Francis, it was nice to meet you yesterday. Tonality is an article you might want to look at, it has a snippet of music. If you can load files to commons as .png files then the code [[Image:your image file.png|thumb|Caption]] is worth copying. the thumb is for thumbnail and you can also position by adding |left |right or if you are OK with American English, |center. So [[Image:IV-V-I in C.png|thumb|Caption]] displays as
Also you might want to join Wikipedia:WikiProject Music I'm sure there are people there who are very familiar with ways to display sheet music. ϢereSpielChequers 07:37, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Francis! Glad to see you yesterday.
- You were asking about PDFs, I believe? We do support PDFs, though not always perfectly; they can be included as standard image links, with [[Image:your file.pdf|thumb|Caption]]. This will always display the first page of a multi-page file; to get it to display an arbitrarily selected page, use [[Image:your file.pdf|thumb|Caption|page=42]].
- We don't currently have a system which lets us embed or edit musical notation in articles other than as images, but it's a long-standing feature request and there has apparently been some movement on it in the past couple of months. It'd make this work a lot easier! Andrew Gray (talk) 15:07, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
