Re: Claim justified about the text of Beata Progenies

The Cantus database at
https://cantus.uwaterloo.ca/chant/153371
indicates that the sequence Beata progenies is for "Nativitas Mariae".

Re: How long between submission and approval (or rejection)?

Chris, I just checked the upload logs and see that you uploaded PDF and MID files for "Jesu Dulcis Memoria SATB" on August 11, as well as for "Jesu Dulcis Memoria (3part 5 vv)" on August 15. But in neither case did you fill out and submit a ChoralWiki add work form which is neces...

Re: Style guides for choral music?

I second Maggie's recommendation of "Behind Bars" ... it's the gold standard.

Re: Multi-Category Search Doesn't Handle Special Characters, Maybe?

Evidently, the Multi-Category Search cannot handle composer names which have diacritical marks: Fauré gives no results, just as Schütz gives no results. Knowing that Schütz works are all catalogued with SWV numbers, I tried "SWV" and got 31 results (all Schütz works) for 5-part a cappella ...

Re: Pages need to be merged - Christus factus est (Anerio)

I just moved #33537 to the Anerio work (even though that is itself wrongfully attributed).

Re: Pages need to be merged - Christus factus est (Anerio)

Only CPDL #33537 of the two Anonymous scores coincides with the Anerio. CPDL #33538 is an entirely different work.

Re: Inconsistent results from Multi-category Search

For (1) I got 10 results. For (2) I got 168 results. On a lark, I selected 4-part but did not select ATTB for (2) and got 2377 results. The extra work i these last two cases is probably due to a new work being added since the above trials were run. It's likely that for (2) your student inadvertently...

Re: How to present the Genre information

Re 2 - Sacred music. I have never viewed this as referring exclusively to sacred Christian music. To do so would exclude, among others, sacred Jewish music (of which quite a bit is available at CPDL). Sure, the vast majority of sacred music at CPDL is Christian, but CPDL is a word-wide, internationa...

Re: Uploading new edition

The little white "file details" icon often does not display, most often after the page has been modified by a mass edit (typically from the ReplaceText facility). If you open such a page for editing and click "Preview" the icon will reappear in the preview pane, and you can go fr...

Sound files requested for scores at CPDL

[ This was posted earlier as a News Item at the ChoralWiki ] A few days ago in an email exchange with the artistic director of a notable professional vocal ensemble located in the UK, I received the the following comment: "... CPDL - it's such a wonderful resource which we have used often. I wo...

Re: "No results"? Can't believe it.

With "Easter", "4-part", "Latin" I got 69 results.
With "Easter", "4-part", "English" I got 116 results.

It appears that one now has to specify only one choice (or zero choices) in each group.

Re: "No results"? Can't believe it.

I got exactly 2 results - with the query as described, but also with the query for "Easter", "2-parts", "English".

Re: MXL vs. XML

For some reasons that go back to when uncompressed .musicxml files were more common (now pretty much deprecate) than compressed .mxl file (the current standard, at least here at CPDL), either type of file gets tagged with the template {{XML}}. The template {{MXL}} was added in the Edition notes sect...

Re: Unable to login to www.cpdl.com

There is nothing wrong with having the same login ID for CPDL and the forums (I am CHGiffen on both), or even the same password. But the CPDL and the forums require separate registration and selection of password.
