Re: Does CPDL want my performing editions?

Hi Maia, Thank you for considering to contribute to CPDL! CPDL is "free" in both directions: anybody can freely download sheet music provided by CPDL contributors; and anybody can contribute to CPDL with their own editions. So, please feel free to upload your contributions! I'd just sugges...

Re: SQL option for CPDL

The CPDL ChoralWiki makes use of the MediaWiki software, i.e., the same software used by Wikipedia and by many other wiki websites. The MediaWiki software is actually conceived to manage a collaborative encyclopedia, not a music library, and therefore the data structure underneath is not natively se...

Re: unable to login / Mediawiki issue

The backtrace information were crucial: you are using the Modern skin, and the problem was similar to the problem previously encountered with the Cologne Blue skin, i.e, these relatively old skins are not bundled any more with the MediaWiki software, so they may require to be updated manually, at le...

Re: unable to login / Mediawiki issue

Unfortunately I can't reproduce the problem, using either Chrome or Firefox (although I work under Windows, so the situation is not fully comparable). I guess that your computer may be passing something wrong to the server, maybe originated from something cached locally. I can just suggest to clear ...

Re: unable to login / Mediawiki issue

Could you please try again? Does the problem occur immediately when you click on the "Request account" link, or at a later step?

Re: Add new work / Add new edition not working

Could you please try again? It seems that the new version of the MediaWiki SW recently installed has a strange behavio(u)r when certain languages are selected (for example, French or German) with respect to other languages (for example, English or Italian). I've now implemented a workaround for that...

Re: Pre-Romantic poetry settings

I think that Francesco Petrarca may be certainly regarded as a "notable poet", at least here in Italy. There are quite a few choral settings of his poems that were written by pre-romantic composers: https://www.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/Francesco_Petrarca I think that many others can be foun...

Re: Withdrawal of work

That will mean that it would be as if I'd never submitted it to the website in the first place. Is that right? No, it isn't right. Anyone can use the old version of the work according to the original license conditions, for ever, and regardless the work is withdrawn or not. I suggest to publish the...

Re: Best copyright type for self-published work

I guess that they want to know what kind of license you plan to use because they want to evaluate the price of the license to you. I wonder if it would increase my chances of having my request approved if I used something more standard and official, like the CPDL license. Yes, definitely, and I thin...

Re: AddWorks form probs

The so-called "automated process" to add new works/editions was introduced by me at the end of year 2013. From 2008 to 2013, when only the "manual process" was available, the average number of new editions added yearly was around 2,500. From 2014 to 2022, i.e., after the introduc...

Re: Withdrawing editions

The withdrawal of an edition published on CPDL has no practical effects: the copies already downloaded remain subject to the original license conditions, so they may be re-published everywhere (even on CPDL again) by anybody, as well as performed, recorded, etc., provided that the original license c...

Re: Each composer a lyricist?

When a new composer page is created, the "Add work" procedure just invokes the standard template that exists to create a new composer page, i.e., Template:New composer . The LyricistSettingsList template was added to it in July 2022 by BarryJ. I'm not sure about the pros and cons. I think ...

Re: Malware on link on CPDL

Thanks, Claude.

Meanwhile I received a failed delivery notification for the email I sent, so this seems to confirm that Brian Riedlinger is probably no longer active.

Re: Malware on link on CPDL

Apparently Brian Riedlinger's website has changed domain name from brianriedlinger.com to brian-riedlinger.com . However, the server hosting the new domain is using an invalid SSL certificate when working in https. I don't think that this is related to malware, most likely it's just an expired SSL c...
