Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Ahankins!

First steps tutorial Our first steps tour and our frequently asked questions will help you a lot after registration. They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy (Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content). You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold when contributing and assume good faith when interacting with others. This is a wiki. Getting help More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (webchat). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump.

Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

Welcome, support votes

You seem to have accidentally voted twice under Commons:Village pump/Proposals#MEI/Verovio; I amalgamated your votes, hope you don't mind. Please let me know if I've misunderstood something. Welcome to Commons, by the way! It's good to have you and your expertise around. HLHJ (talk) 01:48, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

Ah! I didn't know it was a 'vote' -- I just thought they were supporting points. I'll keep that in mind, but thank you for amalgamating them.--Ahankins (talk) 10:34, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

Humdrum

Can you tell me if Humdrum/**kern is an open format? Is it stable, and so on? Phabricator needs to know . Sorry for not getting back to you faster on this. HLHJ (talk) 00:19, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi HLHJ -- Yes, it is an open format, insofar as there are open tools for processing it (https://github.com/humdrum-tools) and the "spec" is open (https://csml.som.ohio-state.edu/Humdrum/representations/kern.html). However, it should be taken with a caveat that it is designed to be an ad hoc format, and there isn't really any format governance or change management per se. Craig Sapp is the primary maintainer of the spec and the tools now. There is an active user community, and they tend to "make up" their own spine formats if they need additional information (see: http://www.humdrum.org/rep/). It is largely stable, though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ahankins (talk • contribs) 09:59, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
