it's an online editor for Lilypond where you can try out the code examples without any software. There you can see how it should looks like.

It's frustrating when all the work I've invested in Wikibooks is at risk. All the color scales suddenly become unusable. Pages with colored scales can no longer be edited. The previously created graphics would be be ruined. I cant continue my work with scales. --Mjchael (talk) 18:27, 2 July 2026 (UTC)

This is probably fallout from task T49578... I've file task T431021 for you. Reedy (talk) 18:40, 2 July 2026 (UTC)

Just to note hacklily seems to be using an old version of lilypond, as per https://github.com/jocelyn-stericker/hacklily/issues/63 - This may be related to our own upgrade, but may not be our fault, it may be an issue with lilypond etc - task T385404 Reedy (talk) 19:05, 2 July 2026 (UTC)

It works for me once I re-add the line breaks:

You can't paste it without line breaks because the "%" introduces a single-line comment, so a comment runs from %% Überschrift to the end of the input. I don't think it's related to SVG or the LilyPond version. -- Tim Starling (talk) 23:49, 2 July 2026 (UTC)

Counting images on a page

Hello,

is there a way to count images on a page and eventually only the ones in a specific section of a page ?

I'm using sub-pages of my User page on Commons to collect images which are of interest for me and I got curious about how many do I gathered in each page.

See this one about Carnaval for exemple :

Or this other one about mythological fauns and satyrs :

Many thanks in advance for your help
