This template provides a quick, standard method of citing Grove Music Online for music-related articles in Wikipedia.

It is a wrapper around the standard citation template {{cite encyclopedia}}. As such it fills out some {{cite encyclopedia}} parameters, but the full range of parameters provided by WP:CS1 are available. To change the appearance of the output to that of {{citation}} use the parameter |mode=cs2.

All parameters apart from |title= are strictly speaking optional:

{{cite Grove |title=Roméo et Juliette}}

Sadie, Stanley; Tyrrell, John, eds. (2001). "Roméo et Juliette". The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians (2nd ed.). London: Macmillan Publishers. ISBN 978-1-56159-239-5.

However, it is strongly encouraged to include at least |last1=, |first1=, |date=, |title=, and |url= (or |doi= or |id=). If the citation is to be used in an article via {{sfnp}} (or {{harvp}}, {{sfn}}, {{harvnb}}) the |date= is essential, since these templates can't "see" through to this Grove template's publication date that is generated later.

If one of the link parameters (|url=, |doi= or |id=) is used the template displays the title Grove Music Online (8th ed.) If no link parameter is provided it is assumed that the citation is based on the paper edition: the title is changed to The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians (2nd ed.) and editor is added. If this is the case then the parameter |page=number ought to be provided.

The syntax with typical parameters is as follows:

{{cite Grove
  |last1 = Huebner
  |first1 = Steven
  |date = 2002
  |title = Roméo et Juliette
  |url=https://doi.org/10.1093/gmo/9781561592630.article.O006772
  |url-access=subscription
}}

Huebner, Steven (2002). "Roméo et Juliette". Grove Music Online (8th ed.). Oxford University Press. ISBN 978-1-56159-263-0.

Example of one of Grove's free-access pages, with two authors, each of which has a Wikipedia article:

{{Cite Grove
  |last1 = Wolff
  |first1 = Christoph
  |author-link1 = Christoph Wolff
  |last2 = Emery
  |first2 = Walter
  |author-link2 = Walter Emery
  |date = 20 January 2001
  |title = Bach, Johann Sebastian
  |url = https://doi.org/10.1093/gmo/9781561592630.article.6002278195
}}

Wolff, Christoph; Emery, Walter (20 January 2001). "Bach, Johann Sebastian". Grove Music Online (8th ed.). Oxford University Press. ISBN 978-1-56159-263-0.

Using |doi=:

{{Cite Grove
  |last1 = Mace Christian, Angela
  |date = 28 November 2018
  |edition = on-line
  |title = Hensel [née Mendelssohn (-Bartholdy)], Fanny Cäcilie
  |doi = 10.1093/omo/9781561592630.013.3000000159
}}

Mace Christian, Angela (28 November 2018). "Hensel [née Mendelssohn (-Bartholdy)], Fanny Cäcilie". Grove Music Online (on-line ed.). Oxford University Press. doi:10.1093/omo/9781561592630.013.3000000159. ISBN 978-1-56159-263-0.

It is however discouraged, as in the last example above, to use the |author= parameter when both last name(s) and given name(s) are known: use |last1= and |first1= instead. The above example also illustrates how to override the "8th" edition qualifier when the on-line version of the article does not correspond with the 2001 printed edition.

As an alternative to |url= and/or |doi=, |id= can be used (|id= should contain the end part of the doi—after the last decimal point).

{{Cite Grove
  |last1 = Wolff
  |first1 = Christoph
  |author-link1 = Christoph Wolff
  |last2 = Emery
  |first2 = Walter
  |author-link2 = Walter Emery
  |date = 20 January 2001
  |title = Bach, Johann Sebastian
  |id = 6002278195
}}

Wolff, Christoph; Emery, Walter (20 January 2001). "Bach, Johann Sebastian". Grove Music Online (8th ed.). Oxford University Press. doi:10.1093/gmo/9781561592630.article.6002278195. ISBN 978-1-56159-263-0.

The |id= parameter can not be used when the part of the doi identifier before the last decimal point is not "gmo/9781561592630.article"
