IMSLP Forums

Hi,

I am a living composer uploading my music to IMSLP. I just uploaded some piano music. I can't get this message of my piano pieces page -

THIS WORK IS NOT IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN!
If this notice is the result of auto-tagging (which would be the case if this page was just created), and you have the permission of the copyright owner to submit the work, you may manually override the auto-tagging. Otherwise, this page will be deleted soon.

Does anyone know how to get this off my page. I think this is because I am not dead or have not been dead for 50 years.

Just insert the little item <!--noautotag--> at the very top of the page - as I have done for yours. Also, while you're at it, list yourself as "publisher" since posting things here fits the legal definition of publication in most countries. We'd really prefer to refer all inquiries, performance requests, etc. to the composers. Petrucci Music Library is not a music publisher and does not want to serve as one. We have quite enough to do just managing and tagging all the uploads.
