- Is there a good reason to favour LilyPond over other music notation formats? LilyPond is presently the only notation software supported by MediaWiki, but it may be worth considering other formats. The last few comments in T208494 might be helpful. (For what it's worth, almost all of the LilyPond notation statements in Wikidata were added by me through my semi-automated creation of items for musical chords.)
This is the one that can be reused inside the Wikimedia projects and that I have seen outside it as well. Any new one would need a lot of additional development time to support it that I'm currently not really convinced is worth it.
- Would it be useful to support more than one musical notation format in Wikibase/Wikidata?
Same as above. Supporting anything in addition to what MediaWiki already supports costs a lot more resources than I think is currently warranted. It'd also be a significant effort to support more than one format in the same data type and make it harder for re-users of the data because they'd need to be able to deal with different notations.
- If/when it becomes possible to store musical notation files on Commons, would the property still be preferable to linking to Commons files?
There are different considerations to take into account then where to put what. These include licensing, length, ease of access at least. So I think it depends on which is better for a particular case then.
- In my use of the property (e.g. Q58233594), I've used a lot of formatting, in part to match existing Commons files (e.g. File:Chord Dâ™7.svg). Would it be desirable to encourage this? Would the property need coding conventions?
I'll have a look. Thanks for the link.
