Semi-automation now available
| Help | |
|
Hi friends, I have some good news, especially for those of you who do a lot of editing. After some unsuccesful attempts at using AutoWikiBrowser (a Wikipedia tool) to implement some automation at CPDL, I finally came up with a satisfactory alternative: UltraEdit Macros! UltraEdit is an excellent text editor that I use a lot, but I had never played with its Macro features before. Then I read somewhere that these macros can execute "Regular Expressions", a very powerful "language" that allows for advanced find/replace and logical operands. I started creating a couple of macros and the results are impressive: As an example, please see the last edit done to Nun will der Lenz uns grüssen (Udo Baake). It was completely automated, the only thing I had to do was to copy the code from the CPDL site, paste it into UltraEdit, run a macro and paste the result back to the score page. I know the work is still in its beginning and will still need lots of refining, but I believe we can already say goodbye to those tedious repetitive edits. :) CarlosTalk 17:02, 14 June 2008 (PDT) | |
New template - copyright warning
| Help | |
|
After seeing all the new Vaughan Williams scores popping up, it occured to me that it might be a good idea to have a template to sit at the top of composer and score pages to indicate to users that the work is public domain USA, but it may not be public domain in their own country. I've started on this template at Template:CopyrightWarning though I'm not satisfied with the wording yet. Suggestions and alterations are welcome. | |
How should we handle entries for composite works, where two separate "works" are in the same file
| Help |
|
The work recently submitted by Sabine Cassola incorporates two sections of "Officium Defunctorum", namely the 5 part SATTB "Circumdederunt" and the 4 part (SATB) Invitatorium "Venite exultemus". Should two entries be put into the composer page both pointing to the "Circumdederunt me (Cristóbal de Morales)" page ? In the current situation someone looking for the "Venite exultemus" section of the work would probably not find it. | |

I suppose it's a question of the work - is it really two separate works or is it indeed a single work which should be on a single score page? If it is two separate works, then a link to one score page from the other should be fine. If it's one work, merge the pages. | |
