Multi-Category Search Results Limit or Pagination

[lwist]

Hi All. I'm very excited to find this Choral Library! I'm trying to use Multi-Category Search to view all the English-language results available for 4-part choral music, but have only found a way to display the first 2,000 out of the total 10,880 results. The Multi-Category Search results don't appear to paginate, even if I leave the "Results limit" to the default of 200. How can I view the other 8,880 results?

Thanks for your help!

The only trick I know is to use the Template:MultiCatList (which I wrote several years ago). It will produce up to 500 pages at a time.
So, use:

{{MultiCatList|Works in English|SATB}} to get the first 500 pages, then

{{MultiCatList|Works in English|SATB|skip=500}} skip the first 500 pages and get the next 500 pages, then

{{MultiCatList|Works in English|SATB|skip=1000}} to get the next 500 pages, and so on until

{{MultiCatList|Works in English|SATB|skip=10500}} to get the last pages, skipping the first 10500 pages.

I hope this helps.

Added Note:
I mistakenly put in "SATB" for the second parameter (to get SATB works), when I should have put in "4-part choral music" ... sorry for the slip-up.

Can you tell me how to modify my URL to use Template:MultiCatList?

At this point, you would need to create a new page in your personal space, and run the template as Chuck says above – but I can't find "lwist" on cpdl.org. Perhaps you are registered there under a different username?

This is a dirty trick that probably provides quite similar results (10514) distributed on just 3 pages that can be easily browsed:

Be patient because the query requires several seconds to complete.

Great trick, Max!
And here it is on one CPDL page:

(I have trouble using such long lists. I suggest further limits to the search!)
