We should collect a list of what needs to be updated. 1. The automated form itself: http://www.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/Add_work 2. The un-automated form 3. http://www.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/Help:Score_submission_guide (also, we should change the pointer at the end of that page to use these forums i...

What about revising the automated add form to enforce "no externally hosted scores" but having it include a note to contact addscore@cpdl.org if you wish to discuss special circumstances: a) regarding an externally hosted score; or b) that need the old manual add form (which we can not lin...

That must have been it, because they're all showing the new logo now.

Tx--sorry I overlooked that. Then I'm doubly neutral about the renaming.

BTW, I just noticed that when I use Firefox, the graphic shown on the tab for www3 is the new (grey) logo, while www has the blue/green old globe. There may be an additional file that needs to be updated in the configuration of some of the servers.

I'm neutral on the renaming. However, I don't see how this would necessarily make the site more searchable. Anyone searching by title can still do so using the search function, or by going to Bach's page which is sorted alphabetically. Where would it make things more searchable? BTW, do we have a pa...

So it sounds like we can also conclude that the http://jennings.comule.com/Classic/Mend ... l/Paul.htm page that is linked to from the score on CPDL is not (at least currently) infected with anything that engages in non-consensual software installation.

Carlos, can you clarify if the link through which you downloaded Noteworthy without MacKeeper from Noteworthy's site is the same as the link for downloading Noteworthy that http://jennings.comule.com/Classic/Mendelss/Paul/Paul.htm points to, or does the http://jennings.comule.com/Classic/Mendelss/Pa...

The page on MusicXML format, as it currently reads, is essentially about one factor in considering format choice. So I think "Format Choice" is a closer description than "What format(s) should I use for my edition?" However, the latter is what we should aim for. If you or anyone ...

I'll leave the others to reply about some other questions. Regarding generating a list of songs in MusicXML format, will you index only the ones with CPDL or appropriately derivate-work friendly Licensing type (e.g. certain Creative Commons type licenses supported on the site)? Or all licensing type...

In case others are interested, I wanted to post about the nice experience our chorus had recently with BCP Music Publishing (http://bcpmusic.org). We provided the electronic files and they shipped us a box (quickly!) with lovely sheet music scores for us. The work is done by someone familiar with ho...

Previous question: Is there any restriction on using the API to produce a periodically-updated list on an external site of works with MusicXML files, pointing back to the original pages on the CPDL? Previous reply: As far as I know, there are no such restrictions for what you propose. Is there some...

"Buy once, copy forever" seems entirely accurate since it conveys that you Buy (now while the edition is copyrighted), then copy forever for the remainder of this license, and also can continue copying the edition forever beyond that once any copyright expires and it passes into the public...

Hi, Carol--

Thanks for checking in with us! I've just sent e-mail with information.

Good question. Do you mean this category? http://www.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/Category:Renaissance_music It is defined as: "A list of music composed in the Renaissance era (ca. 1400-1600)" Similarly, this category http://www.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/Category:Renaissance_composers is defined ...
