Guidelines:
Since CPDL is primarily a free sheet music website, only composers with free sheet music should be listed. This generally only includes composers who have been dead for 70 years, and CPDL contributors. Other composer pages will be deleted. Also, please check to make sure that a composer page does not already exist on this website. Here is a link to the Add Composer page.
Add Choral Work
Before beginning, there are three questions which need to be answered:
- Are the music files already on a remote website, or do you wish to host them on the CPDL site?
- If your scores are already available on a website, you can skip this step. If you want to have the files stored on the CPDL website you will need to upload these files first. You must be a registered user to upload files. (Note that as of September 2005 your old CPDL username will not work in the new ChoralWiki website - reregistration is necessary.)
- Upload files: This is the link to upload files. Don't stop after doing just this step. Without doing step(s) 2-3 below any uploaded files will just be discarded in a day or two unless they correspond to links filled into the "add new work" form. You should click on "Add Choral Work" link below AFTER uploading your PDF, Midi, and (optional) notation file(s).
- If your scores are already available on a website, you can skip this step. If you want to have the files stored on the CPDL website you will need to upload these files first. You must be a registered user to upload files. (Note that as of September 2005 your old CPDL username will not work in the new ChoralWiki website - reregistration is necessary.)
- Is the composer listed on CPDL already? If yes, skip to the next step below.
- If not, you will need to create the composer page. (see "Add Composer" section above)
- Is the choral work by this composer already listed on CPDL?
- Yes - Go to the page for adding 'new editions'. Here is a link: Add New Edition
- No - Go to the page for creating an entry for adding a choral works to an existing edition. Here is a link: Add Choral Work
