2800 composers now!

Uh, I just now had this thought: Wouldn't it be more prudent to announce round numbers of works or of files which are completely unencumbered with regard to downloading (i.e., without or [TB] restrictions)? Otherwise, it seems a premature claim. Just an idea. I think we can create a page to explain...

19,998 works now.

I also think "Composer:" is better for composer category.
While "Template:" is not special except usage of {{}} now, I think there is a possibility to be able to use other name space as a category in the future, and I think we can ask MediaWiki developpers it.

2600 Composers now!

To supertchan: the word concertante is well known enough to work for what we need: a genre or category title that can include any work for soloist(s) with orchestra. Not all of these works have the title "concerto", so a concerto category or genre title is too limiting. The word "con...

Sorry, but is the word "Concertante" very common for English speakers? Everyone know the meaning of the word?

Looking at the project page I can see how my poor choice of wording could have been misleading, so I've changed the layout to make things clearer. Thanks for your work. How about word of Concertante? My English-Japanese dictionaries haven't such word. Of course, my music dictionaries have it, but i...

Thanks for your replies, "A dictionary of Composers and Their Works in Classical Music" published by Sanseido, One of the most common reference dictionary of classical music in Japan, uses same genres, I haven't realized it. Just only because when I go to CD shop, CD's come into genres of ...

Thanks for your reply. Because I'm not English native, I don't see what "stage" means correctly. I wonder the "stage" means "stage works" or "stage music", is it correct? But currently there are no articles on English Wikipedia with these titles. Is these idio...

Oh, I see, I go there. Thanks.

I haven't read all posts of this topic because of linguistic difficulty, but I don't agree the "Stage" genre. I don't think Opera music and Ballet music come one genre. Because Opera music is one of vocal music and Ballet music is one of orchestral music....aren't these more traditional, c...

I don't know what should be selected in the Add Work page for a work for a Concert band ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concert_band ). Works by [[Category:Sousa, John Philip]] are in other genres while they could come in one genre. For ex., [[Boy Scouts of America (Sousa, John Philip)]] - Orchestra ...

I have a question. Why are the general information sections on the work pages located below the links to the score files? I usually check the information before I download the files because I can't realize from the page title that the work page is really for the work I want to download. I think the ...

Thank you for your help and detailed information.
I'll try to the translation after the server maintenance.
