What 🎼 musical score means
Lyrics quoted in a caption almost always get 🎵 or 🎶 wrapped around them, which is the most common use in this group by a wide margin. 🎧️ marks what someone is listening to, 🎤 covers singing and karaoke plans, and the studio microphone 🎙️ has become the default badge for podcasts. The level sliders and control knobs stay mostly with producers.
