Re: Works ordering by opus?
Ordering by opus number requires all of the work pages to be consistently edited. Even then, sometimes opus numbering for certain composers is fairly meaningless and bears little or no relationship to chronological dating. As you’ll have discovered, if there’s interest in treating a composer’s œuvre...

Re: Bateson, Dame Venus
Yes. This would be similar to the system of cross-references to arrangements/paraphrases we have of some pieces, or pages for collections (e.g. the Vivaldi opus numbers) which cite the individual work pages that are part of the collection. When collections are of a multiple hundreds dimension, the b...

Re: Bateson, Dame Venus
Both please? This reminds me, in the case of Lassus, we have one of the truly monumental collections, the Magnus opus musicum. It would not be sane or sensible to split it over 500 separate works pages — even if we end up with works pages from the Breitkopf und Härtel set. On the other hand, that pa...

Re: IMSLP to merge with WIMA
Headings like that are imposed on the page later, by editing it. If you’ve edited Wikipedia it should be relatively familiar.

Re: Duties/Powers of Musical Executor
From Dave’s posts, I gather he was offering the works to commercial publishers first, before looking to upload any remaining works (not of commercial interest) to IMSLP.
So no e e cummings pieces yet.

Re: [BUG]Composer has disappeared: mixup
A badly formatted template can screw up a works page by interfering with the overarching fte template (which links back to the composer category), so sure that may have upset things owing to the composer being represented by just a single work.

Easily fixed in all cases by altering the template once. (That’s the beauty of templates.)

"Exceptional claims demand exceptional evidence." (C. Hitchens)
Your claims are interesting, but not compelling, and a complete failure of skepticism has led you to over-egg the pudding.

Re: IMSLP to merge with WIMA
Hi Kenny, as a one-time WIMA contributor (literally: one score!) I decided to pull across my sole contribution a little bit ahead of the general WIMA assimilation, and it currently has the {{WIMA}} template. Please feel free to munge that page in any extra way you need to, in order to test how the l...

Re: Havergal Brian, Early Choral Works
Bump, again, this time for our US friends. It seems Cranz totally failed at registering and renewing the US copyright of the Gothic symphony, which is now available over at the Wiki.

Re: Could this be the solution to Elgar's Enigma?
1. Proof? By assertion, rather than evidence. Skepticism? Not in evidence. Fail. 2. Again, instead of proof we have more assertion served up with an extra dollop of confirmation bias. 3. Argument by “people forget their schooling after 20 years”? How nice that you’ve invented a new logical fallacy. ...

Re: Add instrumentation to composer page?
Adding the information into this field is time consuming, because files have to be downloaded first to see what is in the score. And even more time consuming, with some full scores you are obliged to examine every single page of the score to obtain a complete survey of the instrumentation. (The rar...

Re: Puccini - Turandot
The reason is contingent on two considerations: 1. Turandot was completed by another composer whose copyright still pertains to the work in the United States and the European Union. 2. IMSLP respects both the US and EU copyright terms, and in this case both of them rule out allowing the work to be g...

Owain Evans, in reply to some of your points, which are well meant: a) professional repetiteurs will work from undersized reductions, but the ones I’ve spoken to regarding my own piano reductions don’t generally like the practice (and there’s a prominent school of vocal reductions where the piano pa...
