Cryptograss:Moods/chartifacts/Templates draft
Draft, for review in #chartifacts. Nothing here is live: these aren't Template: pages yet, so nothing stores any data. Once Skyler and Justin have poked holes in it, the agreed version becomes Template:Chart sheet and Template:Chartifact. Background is on Chartifacts and Emergent:Magent/Journal/26310605.[unverified]
There are two records, because Justin's 2024 design (cryptograss/chartifacts #1, #4) separates the paper from the solo:[unverified]
- A sheet is a physical piece of paper. It goes on the File page of its photo.[unverified]
- A chartifact is one solo, borne by a sheet. One sheet can bear several chartifacts.[unverified]

| Parameter | Means | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| song | The tune on the paper | A Song: page. Needle and Thread needs one first (unreleased).
|
| session | The studio and date it was used at | Matches the Studio cut: give it a block height and studio, or a record it was cut for on the Song page. Those have no block heights yet, so for now it's the studio and date.
|
| chart of | The musician whose chart it was: the name on top, or their hand in it | unattributed when nobody knows yet. Never a guess.
|
| page | "1 of 3" when a chart runs to more than one sheet | |
| next page | The File page of the following sheet | Links the pages of one chart together. |
| marks | What's on it besides the printout: pencil forms, solo orders, stains | A description, not a transcription. The solo order itself goes in the chartifacts. |
| photo | The original filename in the Drive folder | So every upload can be traced back to its source. |
Stores: Chart of song, Chart session, Chart of (a person), Chart next page. It also adds the page to Category:Chart sheets.[unverified]

Most chartifacts have no paper (Justin, #chartifacts, 1 Nov 2026): they exist only on chain. They can still be passed along on paper later, but the ones that were actually in the studio are expected to carry a premium. So sheet is optional, and a chartifact with a sheet is the rarer, studio-borne kind.
Where it lives: on the Song page, next to its Studio cut: give it a block height and studio, or a record it was cut for, one
?: ?, ? (no transcriber named)per solo, stored as subobjects (the wayStudio cut: give it a block height and studio, or a record it was cut forstores one per musician). It doesn't live on a File page, because most chartifacts have no file. A sheet's File page lists the chartifacts that point at it by query. If chartifacts later need their own pages, for owners or token IDs, they can move.[unverified]
What's deliberately not in it
- Owner, token, price. None exist yet. When the contract does, ownership gets its own field, and the player reads it from there instead of printing
0x1234ff.[unverified] - The secret (issue #2). It never goes on the wiki. Once a secret is written on a chart, its photo has to show the unmarked side or crop the secret out.[unverified]
Questions for you
- "chart of" versus "held by". Whose chart it was (Harry's) and who holds the paper now (Justin? Skyler?) are different things, and Justin's custody-trail idea (issue #2) cares about the second one. Do we add
held bynow, or wait for the contract?[unverified] - Engineering sheets (Jake's 7660–7663) aren't charts of a tune. Do they get

with song blank, or a template of their own, or none?[unverified]
- Section names. Is "B part, 2nd pass" how you'd say it? Rabbithole's timelines use their own section labels, and the two have to match.[unverified]
- Filenames. I propose
Chart <Song> <Musician> <n>.jpg, andChart <Song> unattributed <IMG number>.jpguntil someone names the owner. Renaming a File later is possible but messy.[unverified]
