Module:Sharpness documentation

Module documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This module should not be invoked directly; use its corresponding template instead: Template:Sharpness documentation.

This module is used for Template:Sharpness documentation to automate information for sharpness templates (templates that show how many steps sharps or flats raise or lower by).

By default, it handles standard sharps and flats, quarter-tone accidentals, and ups and downs notation.
