== Some doubts ==
<p>Hi!
I just applied to volunteer by adopting J.S.Bach's page...you replied...but I don't know if I can start right now or if I need to wait for some special authorization or something...</p>
Another question...
How can I respond to a score request? I visited the list of requests but I don't find a way to take that request...How does it work?
Thanks! [[User:Saniakob|Saniakob]] 07:57, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
:Hi! I happened to see your question about adopting JS Bach, so I replied there that I'd add you, and you can start right away. I also updated the actual page about adopting composers (since it wasn't clear) to encourage people to claim a composer by editing the adoption list to add their own name and feel free to start working on the composer even without admin action. Hope Rob doesn't mind if I chime in here.
:As for marking requests completed, the way to do that is to edit the individual request entry where it says Requested in curly brackets to change it to Completed, and to add at the bottom a link to the location of the new score. The [http://www.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/Category:Requests Requests page] has a link at the top that allows you to see the Completed requests versus the ones that are still in Requested status, so you can check the format of a sample completed score to see how the link to the uploaded score is formatted. Hope this helps--feel free to post if you have further questions. Similarly, you can change the status to Pending if you want to indicate that you are taking that request and working on it. --[[User:Vaarky|Vaarky]] 15:18, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi Rob,
I´ve put the latin words to that work, which originally is for instruments. But even in my biggest dictionary I can't find the correct english word for the german 'Textunterlegung'. I've found the verb: to put or set words to a tune. And the substantive? Would you please help me? Thanks and regards, --[[User:Christophero Manco|Christophero Manco]] 23:31, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

== out of curisority, why do you prefer no ItemPost and Reply? ==
Just noticed the text at the top of your talk page. Out of curiosity, can you say more about why you prefer people to avoid these templates? Is it aesthetic reasons, or are there other aspects such as page size etc.? Tx. -- [[User:Vaarky|Vaarky]] 16:15, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
:It's purely aesthetic :-) For me, using the template is more complicated for new users (and some more seasoned ones) than simply typing their message and signing it in the manner explained above the edit window when editing a talk page. So if it's not used universally, it becomes mildly annoying when reading a discussion which includes a variety of indentations and formatting. I don't believe I'm being draconian in making this request on my talk page alone but perhaps you disagree? --[[User:Bobnotts|Bobnotts]] <small>[[User talk:Bobnotts|'''talk''']]</small> 19:48, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

== About "Sé de una hermosa rosa" ==
Thanks for your answer in the song's discussion! Ok, composer is "Traditional". Should I put the link by hand in the "composer's" page? Do you mean this? In other wiki about music which I participate, songs are listed automatically in the corresponding category. About the other question, on the original text, I will answer at Carlos' talk page. --[[User:Mpancorbo|Mpancorbo]] 21:49, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
:Yes, that's correct, you need to add the composer entry on the composer page manually. In this case, because "Sé de una hermosa rosa" is a translation of another work already available on CPDL, I've merged the entry into [[Jag vet en dejlig rosa (Traditional)]].

== Template:Translation ==
Hello Bob, it seems that your <tt>cat=no</tt> extension of the translations template doesn’t work. I noticed that you’ve applied it to [[Wiegenlied, Op. 49, No. 4 (Johannes Brahms)|Brahms’ Wiegenlied site]] a few days ago, but it’s still categorized in [[:Category:Italian translations]]. [[User:Robert Urmann|—Robert Urmann]] 19:49, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
Sorry, Bob, that’s getting strange: I used various browsers to see if it could be up to Firefox’s cache that the translations page doesn’t fully reload. At first it seemed to work—but then I logged in and&nbsp;… Brahms’ Wiegenlied was back!!! I logged out, reloaded and—the site was gone. The Italian translations page lists 92 pages when logged in, and 81 when logged out! Any idea??? [[User:Robert Urmann|—Robert Urmann]] 17:29, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

== Scanned editions ==
Hi Rob, don't you think that a person who digitizes a PD score and creates a PDF from it deserves to be called an "editor"? I can't see why Yu Chao should be labeled just a "Contributor" in [[Cantata BWV 159 - Sehet, wir gehn hinauf gen Jerusalem (Johann Sebastian Bach)|‎‎]], please explain me your reasoning. —[[User:Carlos|Carlos]]&nbsp;[{{fullurl:User talk:Carlos}} {{mail}}] 17:33, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
:Hi Carlos. No, I don't think that a person who digitises a PD score and creates a PDF from it deserves to be called an "editor". What have they edited? Nothing, as far as I can see. This has been the standard adopted on CPDL for some time, on [[Lydia, Op. 4, No. 2 (Gabriel Fauré)|this page]] and many others. --[[User:Bobnotts|Bobnotts]] <small>[[User talk:Bobnotts|'''talk''']]</small> 20:57, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
::Oh, I wasn't aware of this unwritten standard :) Then I suspect that all 20 editions by [[user:Jim Taylor]] will have to be changed accordingly, as well as a few others that I could spot: [[Turn Thy face from my sins (Arthur Sullivan)|[1]]], [[Gute Nacht (Franz Schubert)|[2]]], [[Adelaide (Ludwig van Beethoven)|[3]]], [[Cantata BWV 43 - Gott fähret auf mit Jauchzen (Johann Sebastian Bach)|[4]]]. Thanks for the info, —[[User:Carlos|Carlos]]&nbsp;[{{fullurl:User talk:Carlos}} {{mail}}] 02:07, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

::::What about the 'music facsimile' category and the GIF template? Should we delete all these scores? The problem is that the PDF standard hides two kinds of scores: the vectorized one which includes notes, pitch, duration, tempo, etc (the really useful score for choirs) and the image one, without any reusable edition content. We, on CPDL, have about 10,000 vectorized score and about 100 scanned scores. As we are not a site for score's pictures collectors, we have to avoid the deception of users looking for reusable content. Can we imagine a warning on the Welcome page leading to IMSLP for scanned PD scores? We should keep scanned scores only if we have the vectorized one yet. [[User:Claude T|Claude]] 07:22, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
::::: The {{CiteCat|Music facsimiles}} category includes much more than works contributed to {{CW}} which are scanned editions.  It also includes (usually links to) digitized images of original music sources.  These latter form an invaluable tool for scholars and {{CPDL}} users, for example, by comparison of {{CPDL}} editions with original sources (especially since editorial decisions must frequently be made in preparing modern editions), and by providing links to sources of (as yet) works not available at {{CW}}.  I would be loathe to remove the Music facsimiles category.  Perhaps we should consider isolating the "contribution" of scanned images of scores in a separate (sub?)category, at least for the time being, and then having a full-blown discussion as to whether we should actually list/host such scans as {{CPDL}} "editions" ... This is an issue that has bothered me for quite some time.  I'm contemplating a new template (or two, depending upon whether to use parameters) just for Facsimiles (PDFs actually hosted at {{CW}}) and Facsimile Links (for links to facsimiles hosted elsewhere)/  A valid question would be whether continue to grace the former (scanned images "published" at {{CW}}) with a CPDL edition number.  I think the "Contributor" alternate listing for the {{CiteTemp|Editor}} template was originally intended for listing the name of the person providing a score for which they added no editorial content (such as transcribing and "diplomatic" editions).  Looking back over my reply, I wonder if perhaps this discussion should be continued in a better arena than Rob's talk page - maybe the forums? -- [[User:CHGiffen|Chuck]][[User talk:CHGiffen|<sub><small>'''talk'''</small></sub>]]&nbsp;[[User:Charles H.

== Liturgical music ==
Hi Rob.  I noticed you changed the musical cat on [[Veni Sancte Spiritus (André Vierendeels)|this]] score.  You attempted to start a discussion on the forums a while back on the issue of labelling "liturgical music" which, to the best of my knowledge, didn't really seem to be picked up by anyone but us.  I'm afraid I feel that the "motet" label you added is not quite what we need.  The piece is a sequence, and therefore in liturgical terms rather limited in its use.  A motet is more versatile, since it mostly refers to an antiphon which, almost by definition, tends to be re-used throughout the church year.  I deliberately did <i>not</i> pick the "motets" cat, because I feel it might make a substantial difference to those conductors and singers who value this sort of background information in compiling their programs, as I do.  As vague as "liturgical music" might seem, it is closer to the piece than "motet".  Cordially, [[User:Jkelecom|joachim]] 19:06, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the message, and merry Christmas to you too. I'll endeavour to get the titles right in future. I tried changing one on the composer page, but it then seemed to want me to submit the music details again. Rather than do so, I've left it to the experts, since I was worried that I might create havoc by doing it myself. I've also been consistently leaving off the music files heading, I gather. I'll aim not to do that in future.
I've been meaning to get round to contributing, since I have a lot of stuff in Capella that I've amassed over the years. The trouble is that, if you are only adding one piece, the process can seem a bit daunting. However, we're in Italy at the moment for three weeks and I've now got into the swing of it. I've even been impertinent enough to change the order of the oratorios on the Handel page. I transcribed all the choruses from Samson a year or so back when ourchoir did it - the text is a bit non-PC! - and noticed that it wasn't on CPDL at the moment. So I edited the file so that they now appear in alphabetical order. Hope that I haven't caused a major upset in ignorance.
I haven't yet got round to adding texts, but I'll endeavour to master that shortly.

== Linux ==
Hi Bob,
The upload section isn't very Linux friendly. We Ubuntu users - some 13 million strong use MuseScore as our editor. It outputs in it's native format (mscz) as well as MusicXML and LilyPond. Sound outputs include MIDI, FLAC and OGG.
I ''can'' convert to mp3, but it's yet another extra step in the process. There are also Mac and Windows versions of MuseScore, and it's open source.
If I'm not mistaken, Mac users can open FLAC and OGG natively, and there are freebies for Windows users.
I suspect your server is running Linux.

I cannot input a newline character which make impossible to make link to more new works. In this case i uploaded a cycle of 5 duets of Schubert, each of which needs a new page for individual midi file ans typescore file. More, they each have a different catalogue number (Deutsch 199, 202, 203, 204 and 205). Can you please help me to handle this ? Is there any reason for this impossibility to put a newline character (CR) in the wiki modification frame ? The break markup doesnot even seem to function. Last week i was able to use that. Thank you.... [[User:BenZene|BenZene]] 17:39, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
:Hi BenZene. To create a line break on a wiki page, simply type <tt><nowiki><br></nowiki></tt>. As for your other queries, I'm afraid I'll have to take a look later as I've got to dash now. Perhaps you could let me know if you think you've figured it out? --[[User:Bobnotts|Bobnotts]] <small>[[User talk:Bobnotts|'''talk''']]</small> 14:04, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
== interwiki vs website ==
Hi Rob, this it just to let you know that I also created an interwiki for dimarco's site, and now both syntaxes can be used interchangeably:
*<tt><nowiki>[{{website|dimarco}}/Rorate%A0Caeli.MUS Finale 2003]</nowiki></tt>
*<tt><nowiki>[[dimarco:Rorate%A0Caeli.MUS|Finale 2003]]</nowiki></tt>
Which of them do you prefer? I particularly like the cleaner look of interwikis. —[[User:Carlos|Carlos]]&nbsp;[{{fullurl:User talk:Carlos}} {{mail}}] 15:08, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
== Trying to upload new versions of my existing editions ==
Dear Robert,
You helped me once before. I've uploaded new versions of three works by Robert Parsons which I had completed editorially. The next step is supposed to be (if just asking for help with this) to click on help - feedback. 'Feedback'I can't find anywhere, despite being logged on, so am now stymied.
All advice welcome.
Thanks.
Mick Swithinbank
:Hi Mick. I've just updated those three editions. Thanks for the revisions! Could you tell me where you were advised to click on "Help - feedback"? I'm a bit confused by that. --[[User:Bobnotts|Bobnotts]] <small>[[User talk:Bobnotts|'''talk''']]</small> 22:11, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi Rob.  You created [[Matthew Weisher]]'s composer page a few days ago, but there are no listed there.  Are any forthcoming?  I created [[:Category:Matthew Weisher compositions]] for symmetry.  If it turns out that Weisher should be (unhosted) then we'll have to delete the category I created.

== Giovanni Ghizzolo ==
Hi Rob, I noticed that you changed the voicing in a couple of recent editions by this composer, from choral to solo. Do you think that in this case the genre Arias would fit better than Madrigals? —[[User:Carlos|Carlos]]&nbsp;[{{fullurl:User talk:Carlos}} {{mail}}] 16:17, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
:Most likely, yes. To be honest, I don't really have any competency in this area. I was just going by the voicings for other similar works by him that have also been added here. --[[User:Bobnotts|Bobnotts]] <small>[[User talk:Bobnotts|'''talk''']]</small> 16:19, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
::I'm only the humble uploader, so I don't really have anything to say about the scores or their background info, but to me as an amateur musician, "aria" sounds a lot later and stylistically different.  The fact that the Italian publisher referred to his collections as (containing) arias doesn't suffice imho.  They're short, secular (renascence) songs that do not fit into a larger composition, so I'd be hesitant in referring to them as arias.  If we did, what would be the difference between an aria and, say, a German Lied, apart from the odd century or 3?  Cordially, [[User:Jkelecom|joachim]] 22:38, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
== Loading hymn tunes (without words) ==
Since I've been adding quite a bit to the Sullivan site, I am thinking of populating the list of hymn tunes there with actual music. However, I don't want to cause more irritation than necessary by doing it in a way that gives problems to the editors. I've therefore loaded one up (Constance). Could you take a look when you have a moment and let me know if you are happy with my doing it that way? If not, feel free to suggest how to improve it. Constance is also a tune for "I've found a friend" which I've loaded seperately under "Hymns with words". The two entries share a midi file, but the pdf and cap files are different. Let me know whether it would be easier to add another midi file or not.[[User:Jamesgibb|Jamesgibb]] 18:02, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
:Hi James. Thanks for all your contributions to date: the [[Sullivan]] page has really swelled recently! To your question... firstly, thank you for your consideration in only adding one first. Personally, I don't really see the point in contributing hymn tunes with the harmony alone without the hymn itself. The only exceptions I can think of are:
:#when the tune and harmony never had words assigned to them during the composer's lifetime, or
:#when the tune and harmony have been composed by a living composer who has contributed it in the hope that someone will add a suitable text.
:My opinion is that without the words, a hymn tune and harmony is fairly useless unless we anticipate choral directors and choirmasters to come on here looking for particular tunes to set to words. Surely they already have hymn books in their churches or cathedrals? My standpoint is therefore that the best way to present hymns for download on this site is with all elements included, providing a different edition if necessary for a hymn tune that has more than one text commonly associated with it.
:However, the official CPDL line on this is that these "hymn settings" are welcome for inclusion and I have just formatted [[Constance (Arthur Sullivan)]] in the way that I believe is consistent with the other "hymn settings" on here. We don't include the Language template on the page because there is no text. If you have any questions about meter, Chuck is probably your man!
:Best wishes --[[User:Bobnotts|Bobnotts]] <small>[[User talk:Bobnotts|'''talk''']]</small> 08:21, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
:: I take your point, given that the site is CHORAL Wiki, so choir Aahs replacing actual words is a bit odd. However, I think the site has more than one aim. One is to enable people to find particular pieces of music; I think a second is to point people towards other things by a composer they value, but which they didn't know existed. I'm sure that most hymnbooks will have Sullivan's "Golden Sheaves" set to "To Thee, O Lord, our hearts we raise", but many of his other tunes have disappeared from modern hymnbooks, perhaps because the words they were originally set to are very out of fashion nowadays. So I think there is a (minor) benefit in making such tunes available again. I think a sensible compromise would be to include still popular tunes with the words,(like "Golden Sheaves") but to load up other tunes without their now unfashionable words.[[User:Jamesgibb|Jamesgibb]] 20:11, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
== Women's voices ==
Bob
It is quite rare to come across baroque/classical works which seem to be composed for exclusively women's voices. Is it worth adding a category for the few that there are?
[[User:Jonathang|Jonathang]] 07:05, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
:Sorry for the delayed reply. I have to confess to having only just noticed your message. Well as this is an interesting subsect, that would make sense.

== Rameau - Ô nuit ==
Hi,
Why did you remove the information I put about the lyricist and the arranger?
Paroles de E. Sciortino, arrangement à 4 voix SATB de Joseph Noyon
It's *very* important for this piece as Rameau composed only the theme of the "Duo des prêtresses de Diane" in his opera "Hippolyte & Aricie".
The only thing is that I didn't figure out where I had to put it correctly. Couldn't you advise me?
Regards,
Bersyl91 16:15, 10 January 2011 (CST)
:Hi. I'm not entirely sure I know what you're getting at but I'll have a guess... [http://www.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php?title=%C3%94_Nuit_(Jean-Philippe_Rameau)&action=historysubmit&diff=121494&oldid=121372 my only substantial edit to the page] was made about a year and a half ago. You'll forgive me for forgetting my exact reasoning in that time. It seems that I was a bit over ambitious in what I deleted. I think I deleted your translation of the "general information" on the basis that this would not normally be translated on a score page. However, I have now restored the lyricist's name onto the page. If you have any further questions, feel free to reply here. --[[User:Bobnotts|Bobnotts]] <small>[[User talk:Bobnotts|'''talk''']]</small> 16:59, 10 January 2011 (CST)
Hi,
Thank you for that. I don't know why I was only notified today of the modifications... Perhaps problems with my e-mail?
For me, it's difficult to know what has to be translated and what hasn't because I see the whole CPDL site in french...
How can we put the arranger's name? It's he which has really *created* the "Ô nuit" piece in changing the tempo, writing for 4 voices SATB instead af 2 women voices with baroque orchestra, etc. The history of this piece is very interesting, really. Thank you again, Bersyl91 17:25, 10 January 2011 (CST)
The original text of the "Duo des prêtresses de Diane" is:
"Rendons un éternel hommage
À la divinité qui règne sur nos cœurs.
Mais pour mériter ses faveurs
N'offrons à ses autels que des cœurs sans partage"

:I've just added "Joseph Noyon" on a separate line with the "Arranger" label. I hope this is what you had in mind.

== CPDL Policy ==
Hi,
I have got a few questions about CPDL policy: Monteverdi mentioned viols/trombones ad libitum for some of his compositions in "Selva Morale et Spirituale". I am on the way adding these parts (Monteverdi did not publish them) and would like to know if it is preferable to have two editions of the full score, with and without viols/trombones or if it is advisable to save webspace by having only one edition. Similarly, do you prefer lean MIDI files or is it better to publish much larger MP3 in better quality?
Edit: I tried to register to the forum but it did not like my e-mail address.
[[User:PRott|PRott]] 05:43, 11 March 2011 (CST)
:Very sorry for the delay in getting back to you. You may have already had your question answered elsewhere. But if not,
:# Please publish as many versions of editions as you deem useful.
:# Generally, I would recommend you add MP3s in favour of MIDIs if you think that there is something to be gained from the public in a different format (eg. musical instrument sounds more authentic, tempi more accurate). If everyone were to add MP3s rather than MIDIs, this may cause us some concern but ultimately we'd find a way round it.

== How to close Score Requests? ==
Hi, I came across [[Request:Songs from the Bavarian Highlands (Edward Elgar)]] from 2002 and found that these 6 songs have been typeset in 2004 and 2007. Hence I changed the status to "Completed" and inserted a list. Should there be more on that Requests Page? is there somewhere a crib sheet on how to close Requests? And last question: how actively used is the Requests feature? Cheers -- [[User:KlausFoehl|KlausFoehl]] 07:50, 20 September 2011 (CDT)
:Hi Klaus. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. What you've done is exactly right so thanks for that :-) When a request has been completed, template should be changed from "requested" to "completed" as you have done. Adding the individual score pages is a bonus. To be honest, I'm not sure that the requests system is used all that much which is a shame. We don't have any hard data on this but from my observations, there don't seem to be many new requests made. I'm not sure how we could increase take up though... maybe start a discussion on [http://forums.cpdl.org/phpBB3/ the forums]?

Boyce's O praise the lord

Bob

Apologies but I ended up with the wrong composer for this work. Should be Boyce not Duron. I cant seem to correct. Will you please?

Jonathan Jonathang 16:56, 28 October 2011 (CDT)

Seems like this has already been done, Jonathan. For future reference, you can use the "move" command on the page to correct the page title and take the code from the Duron page and put it on the Boyce page instead (for example). --Bobnotts talk 08:42, 31 October 2011 (CDT)
