musical note -> musical symbol

BUR #42560 has been rejected.

create alias musical_note -> musical_symbol
create alias musical_note_hair_ornament -> musical_symbol_hair_ornament

The tag musical note is used for a large variety of non-note musical symbols.
As such, it is my opinion that its name should be changed to reflect this.

Considering the incredible amount of tags for specific musical note lengths, it might even be worth it to have a musical note specific tag, though that would need a high amount of gardening.

There are some other tags that use "musical note", but as far as I could tell only musical_note_hair_ornament mentioned anything about non-note symbols, with tags such as musical staff print not implying musical note print also pointing to some degree of separation in usage.

It seems very silly to completely get rid of a normal concept like "musical note". Renaming it to a "musical symbol" is a massive Danbooruism, it'd look insane to anyone else looking at it. You might be better off using such a tag for "all the other things", or simply cleaning it up.

Sure, I'd be fine with a tag for "all the other things". The status quo is to just label them as musical notes. Musical note hair ornament, for example, is plurality miki sayaka's fortissimo hair ornament, which leads to all of those posts being labeled musical note. Non-music notes implying music note is the only issue I have, I don't wish to eliminate the concept of music notes.

The bulk update request #42560 (forum #361447) has been rejected by @tamuraakemi.

Reviewing the aliasing in more detail I don't think this is necessary, but certain other tags need gardening and perhaps splitting. Musical note hair ornament I think is an issue.
