Ideas regarding the open questions in the task description:

  • Yes. As a matter of fact, since the datatype opens up the possibility for more specific properties to be defined, values of this property could be migrated to those specific properties and the original property could be deleted afterwards.

I was thinking if we can/want to do an automatic conversion in the database like we have converted some string properties to external identifiers in the past. Apparently we can do that conversion.

  • We could call it 'LilyPond musical notation', to make it clear that it's not Abc or MusicXML or something else to someone who might assume so for just 'musical notation'.

Hmmm for mathematical formulas we also have a specific notation but call it mathematical formula. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:ListDatatypes

  • If the 400-character limit for strings is still in place for this property, then I think multi-line values may not be necessary. (My initial thoughts on the datatype have this limit in mind.) Otherwise, if the limit can be increased to something larger, then it may be useful to have multi-line values.

Ok. We will look at muultiline support later then. So far we don't have any datatypes that take multiline values so that might be more difficult.
