As the volunteer in charge of managing our online member music library where musicians can download their sheet music, it's a chore keeping things organized all season. I built this plugin to simplify the task.

It simplifies managing files on the back end and creates interactive filters on the front.

A new Content Type is created:

Sheet Music, provides basic info including title, composer, and additonal notes fields, and attaching unlimited instrument-associated files to each record.

Taxonomies:

Instruments, allows nested and hierarchical lists of instruments organized by user, eg. Brass > Trumpet > Trumpet 1 that can be associated 1:1 with each file in the sheet music editor.

Seasons, is a categorization tool for each sheet music. Multiple seasons can be attached to each piece of sheet music. eg. We organize by "current", "christmas music", "2025" etc.

Shortcodes:

Examples:

whole collection: [sheet_music_library]

limited to season: [sheet_music_library season="standards"]

individual piece: [sheet_music_library id="3783"]

To show all seasons:

[sheet_music_library]

To show only limited selections:

All music from a single season:

[sheet_music_library season="christmas"]

Single piece:

[sheet_music_library id="3108"]
