The <score>...</score> element in wikitext displays a musical score out of GNU LilyPond (the default) or ABC markup syntax. It also produces a MIDI file of the music and optionally displays an audio player that plays the music. It is implemented by the Score extension for MediaWiki, available across Wikipedia languages.
For LilyPond resources, see § External links. As of August 2021[update], the extension on Wikipedia is using LilyPond v2.22.0 (check Special:Version for the current version). Changes to LilyPond since version 2.18 are documented here. Note that LilyPond's full syntax is available when the extension is invoked with the wikitext <score raw="1">. A plain <score> invokes a simplified implementation that is not fully consistent with the LilyPond documentation.
