Thank you, Carolus, it's good to know.

I'm curious as to whether IMSLP keeps viewable stats on the number of downloads for each piece of music in its collection. As an active (new) member who recently uploaded a scanning of Gilbert and Sullivan's "Patience", I'd be interested to see how many users either visited or downloaded t...

Thanks for all help. File uploaded and awaiting approval.

Dear Kalliwoda friend, Thank you for your kind suggestions. I've been away this past week, but will soon try to upload the "Patience" PDF to IMSLP. You will forgive me for not going with your procedures, but simply dealing with the 30.8 MB file I've generated...since you've found it at lea...

Well, thanks.

The gift horse may not have perfect teeth, but it can still do a bit of work.

Pettruccians must allow to sometimes have what they pay for. (with some leniency for us amateurs!)

Now, on to the uploading - where, and how, please?

This is the same page from the original scan. the file size is 1.4MB. Its quality doesn't seem so much better than that of the above, reduced scan: http://www.mediafire.com/i/?ma5hi043un2by39 Here we have a sample from an IMSLP-downloaded v. of "Princess Ida". Note the quality: http://www....

Thanks again.. Please have a look at this sample: http://www.mediafire.com/i/?3v42ob2cesxgo38 Granted, the PDF detail quality is a touch on the soft side, but as the score it was copied from seems to have been a late printing, its quality wasn't ideal either. I didn't see any halos you mentioned, an...

Thanks, sometimes it's better just to leave things and come back to them later. As it turned out, I finally stumbled across a fix to reduce the file size to 30.8 MB by submitting the first reduced pdf to Acrobat Pro and (I think) cutting the dpi down to 150. In effect, I was further reducing the red...

I did - but I'm guessing I have to sign up for that? and Photoshop batch conversion 'Help' is beyond me... I'm literally loosing my "Patience" here....:( what's the point - I told you what the image size was... all right, I'll do it tomorrow...i've wasted too much time on this today...rats!

In Photoshop>Image Size, It's 8.5" x 11.697" Here's a screenshot:..well no, I can't even do that! :roll: when I clicked on Img in the post all it did was [img] [img] btw I tried your suggestion and opened the reduced-sized PDF in Photoshop - and then tried to save as a Photoshop PDF. All I...

OK, I've been able to reduce the 127 pp. of Patience vocal/piano score with dialogue PDF from 153 MB to 84MB. How can I submit this for inclusion in the IMSLP library?
thanks,

Thanks so much. Actually, I am on a Mac also, so much of the technical information mentioned is foreign to me, as it seems to be directed to Windows platform users. I do have Acrobat Professional, Graphic Converter, and Photoshop CS 3 - which I believe enable one to batch convert multiple files. Cou...

Hello, I'm new to the forum, although I've enjoyed downloading some favorites from IMSLP over the past month since reading about it in a newspaper article. As I noticed a lack of a complete vocal score for Gilbert and Sullivan's "Patience", I am currently scanning a copy to submit as a con...
