Transcribe three sheet music images into score tags on Wikipedia (I)
This is a task for people who like music. :)
Musical articles on Wikipedia pages often have an image of sheet music to show a motif or incipits, etc. However, built into Wikipedia is a MediaWiki extension called "Score" to display sheet music more natively than with images. It also allows for playback so others can listen to the music!
Your task is:
- Learn Lilypond
- Find and select some musical articles that either use images for sheet music (or none at all) on Wikipedia (in any language)
- Make sure you are logged in. (Create an account on Wikipedia via the "Create account" link at the top, if you haven't done already.)
- Transcribe the image(s) (in total 3) into Lilypond, replacing the image(s) by the
<score>s that you have written, and publish your changes on those pages. An edit summary for your changes like "Convert musical sheet image into a score" or something like that is welcome, so other Wikipedia authors know what you have been doing in your Wikipedia edit. General information on editing wiki pages is available. - Provide links to your changes here in this GCI task.
