It also relies very much on:
* [http://abcjs.net ABC Javascript (abcjs)] - an open source javascript engine for rendering abc formatted tunes as sheet music entirely in the browser

Integration of the [http://abcjs.net abcjs] package required a custom [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Hooks/BeforePageDisplay onBeforePageDisplay()] hook to include and configure the required <code>abcjs_plugin_2.1-min.js</code> javascript package.

And management of the Tune classification tags is assisted by a custom [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Hooks/EditPage::attemptSave EditPage::attemptSave] hook that scans the abc notation of a tune page being saved, and automatically adds/updates the required Category tags at the end of the page.
