Score

See: Help:Score

In addition, wikis including the English Wikipedia have, eight years after bug #189 was opened requesting the feature, finally gained access to a new <score> pseudo-HTML tag, analogous to <math>, but providing instead for the creation of music notation on the fly:

<score>\relative c' { f d f a d f e d cis a cis e aes g f, e f d f a d f e d }</score>
