Inclusion of midi examples[edit]
I thought it might be a nice idea to include the occasional midi clip to illustrate musical points, and I uploaded a couple of midi files: and . For an example of their use see Pentatonic_scale. This kind of works, but as you will see it is a bit clunky and unattractive on the page - I think the problems arise because the upload facility is really designed for images. I would really like it if there was a way to do this which would : a) Look nice on the page - a notehead gif link for instance in place of the filename. b) If at all possible, have the file play directly when it's clicked on, rather than having to go to an image page and then click on the file.
Does anyone have any ideas how this might be done in a more elegant way? Many thanks.

- Ah, you probably want {{Listen}} or {{Audio}}, which is better for inline examples. Or you could use {{multi-listen start}} etc. The Listen template gives an in-browser link, which is nice for people who don't want to install new software, etc. Mak (talk) 16:10, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- I do indeed - many thanks for that. --Stephen Burnett 16:23, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
