Well, here we go again: My just-uploaded file

File:PMLP1125708-23 Caprices For Solo Cello -7.pdf (the latest movement of the work located at https://imslp.org/wiki/23_Caprices_For_ ... rt)#Scores)

was accidentally uploaded as Public Domain because that was the ONLY available option in that menu. I wanted to upload it as Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 License like all of my other pieces, and I figured after hitting 'submit' that it would then offer me the opportunity to clarify public domain as ACTUALLY meaning the CC-ANCSA-v4 license. But NOPE!

Thus, before it goes live, can you nice folks change it to the CC-ANCSA-v4 license like all of my other pieces?

Then, can you explain what I must have missed and why the PDF upload template page has evidently changed to ONLY allow public domain as the single REQUIRED option for a PDF upload, when I was offered the usual CCANCSA-v4 license when I uploaded the mp3 file moments before the pdf?

Thanks!

Maybe because you didn't even look at the other upload tool options, when your selecting the wrong tool for upload? If your selecting "Add Scan" that is your issue (because "Public Domain" is the only option). You should be selecting "New Composition" instead.

Instead of ranting about this, if you asked before uploading an item which option to choose, then I am sure you wouldn't be as frustrated?

Wow, what a useful, informed, and kind reply.

If this is characteristic of your future possible replies, then kindly IGNORE anything I might ever say here in this forum.

Thank you

I didn't ignore what you said, the problem is you simply chose the wrong tool for uploading, how is this my problem because you chose the wrong tool? I am confused, sorry.
