Help:Score submission guide/Traditional method
WARNING. This page is a draft - work in progress.
The traditional add score process required instead to copy-and-paste one fragment of wiki code into the composer page, and another fragment of wiki code into the work page. Users who are more familiar with the traditional process can still use it by clicking a specific checkbox available on the submission form. See details below (step 2, no. 26).
If you selected the checkbox "Do not automatically add wiki code to the pages, I will do it manually", the work page is not automatically created or updated, therefore you will have to manually create or update it using the wiki code fragment that you'll have received via email. It's the wiki code fragment shown under "Works entry (this should appear on the works page,copy all material below except for the last line of text)".
Adding the wiki code for a new edition
This section only applies if you selected the checkbox "Do not automatically add wiki code to the pages, I will do it manually".
- 1. An email is automatically sent to your email address (as previously entered in the "Add work form"). Copy the single line of code after "Composer entry (this entry appears on the composer page, please copy/paste the line below, under 'List of works')" in the email. Pay attention to select the whole line of text if it is very long.
- 2. Check if the title of the work is present already on the composer page. Most composer pages are automated, so new work titles show up automatically. In this case, this step can be omitted. If the title is not present already, paste the line previously copied into the composer page. Most composer pages are simply a list of links to works in alphabetical order but some are organised by genre and a small minority are organised by opus or the appropriate catalogue number. It should be obvious where your new work listing should be placed but if you are unsure, email "addscore (at) cpdl.org" providing the rekevant information.
This guide now splits into two parts depending on the situation of your work on CPDL. If your edition is the first edition of the work to be submitted to CPDL, you will need to make a new works page - follow the left hand column, "a". If your new edition is not the first edition of the work to be submitted to CPDL, then there will already be an entry on the composer page - follow the right hand column, "b".
| 3a. If you pasted the wiki code into the composer page, the work title will be displayed on the composer page as a red link, because the corresponding work page does not exist yet. Now, make a new work page for your work, by clicking on the newly made red link on the composer page. When the new page appears, go back to the email you received and select all of the code after "Works entry (this should appear on the works page, copy all material below except for the last line of text)". Now paste the code into the new page. Press the "Show preview" button to see what your page will look like, fix any typos and click "Show preview" again until you are happy with the new work page. Now type an appropriate edit summary and click "Save page" to save the new work page on the CPDL Wiki. | 3b. Add your edition information to an existing works page. To do this, click on the link on the composer page corresponding to the work page you want to add your edition to. When the works page comes up, click on the "edit" tab at the top of the page. At the top of the page will be the following code: "==Music files== {{Legend}}". Below this, leave an empty line then copy and paste the edition information only from the code produced by the add work form. The edition information is the code which begins "*{{NewWork|yyyy-mm-dd}} '''CPDL..." and ends :'''Edition notes:'''. Click "Show preview" to see what your page will look like, fix any typos, click "Show preview" again until you are happy with the work page you are modifying. Then type an appropriate edit summary in the box then click "Save page" to save your modified work page on the CPDL Wiki. |
- 4. Return to the composer page. Test the new link from the composer page by clicking on it. You will see your new works page or your new edition on an old works page.
- 5. If your work page is new, check the categories at bottom of page for broken links. Broken links on a wiki appear as red rather than blue. There will be one category link that is and should be broken. This category will be in the format yyyy-mm-dd, today's date. If there are any other category links or other links which are broken, please try to fix them if you believe that you have made a typing error. If you believe that the spelling is correct, however, edit the page and at the top type the following: "{{Cleanup|reason}}" where reason is "link to category not yet created" or "link to page not yet created". Save the page with the "Summary" box containing the following text: "Page needs cleanup".
- 6. Try each link for the files that you have added, such as PDF, MIDI and notation file to ensure that they point to the appropriate file. If any of the links are broken, try to fix it but if you can't, email "addscore (at) cpdl.org" with the details, so that the add score team may help you fixing any issues.
