Hello there. I have a PDF of a score (Sister, Awake! a choral song by Thomas Bateson) which the IMSLP community is welcome to, only I'm afraid I don't really have the time to work out how to contribute the score myself. If someone wants to upload it on my behalf, that would be great. It seems I can'...

may I ask if these are the templates to link to equivalent composers and works pages from CPDL to IMSLP? I suggest using initials IMSLP but referring to "the Petrucci Music Library", rather than expanding the five letters out [...] Besides which, there's already an interwiki link on CPDL ...

Carolus, thank you for your reply, but I was rather hoping for something a bit more specific. I suppose I'm overstepping my original query now by saying that I think that to avoid confusion, a website such as this should only have one name. If "Petrucci Music Library" was adopted since the...

This may seem like a strange question but I would like to know what the correct name is for the sheet music website to which this forum is affiliated. It is known variously across the internet and on the website in question as "(The) International Music Score Library Project" (or "IMS...

from memory the piano reduction of RVW's Sancta Civitas was attempted by one Havergal Brian (1876–1972)

Good memory! OK - thanks for that. I'll advise the contributor.

I'm an admin at the Choral Public Domain Library and a score of Vaughan Williams' Sancta Civitas was recently contributed. I suggested to the contributor that the score might be better hosted at the Petrucci Music Library on the basis that 1) it's scanned rather than retypeset and 2) I'm not entirel...

Sorry for taking so long to reply to this. To be honest, I forgot about this post for some time! Anyhow, I hope to explain my reasoning here. My rationale for removing the Art Song Central notice from the PDFs is that they would be hosted on IMSLP so it would seem rather strange to a person download...

I've just discovered Art Song Central and I want to copy all the PDFs over to IMSLP. Can someone explain how to remove the text at the bottom of the PDF pages? I have Acrobat 6.0. Alternatively, is someone willing to remove this text themselves? I couldn't find a help file on this which is why I'm a...

I can speak for CPDL, but not IMSLP! (I'm an admin at CPDL) The reason for when you type a surname into CPDL search and you get sent to the composer page is because there are a large number of redirects set up on CPDL to point Vaughan Williams --> Ralph Vaughan Williams. Byrd --> William Byrd, etc. ...

Hello everyone I'm an admin at the Choral Public Domain Library (CPDL for short). If you haven't heard of it, CPDL has very similar goals to the IMSLP but focuses on retypeset choral and vocal music. Firstly, I'd like to offer my condolences to you for having to shut down this excellent site (tempor...

Congratulations, contributors to IMSLP! I don't contribute (yet!) but when I saw this thread, I remembered how I stumbled across the IMSLP probably about a year ago. "Collect together all public domain sheet music... ever? They must be mad," I thought. And yet, the site has come so far in ...

Hello I'm new to IMSLP but I'm a moderator of and regular contributor to CPDL (or at least I was until the server gave up :( here's hoping for a swift recovery!) I'm trying to get together my first scan but I'm not entirely sure how I should do it. It is a collection of lieder and arias for bass (my...

Hi guys. I've just started adding some links to CPDL (even though they're broken at the mo...!) on the Fauré and Bruckner pages in the manner that a link was added on the Beethoven page by Feldmahler. I hope that's all ok.
