Missa Brevis

Hello Thurlow. Welcome to CPDL and thanks for your recent contributions. I have just merged the individual mass score pages (as is the convention for masses on CPDL) so they now all exist on 1 page, Missa Brevis (Thurlow Weed) and I've corrected the links on your composer page. If you wish to typeset your works at a later date, you may find a music notation software program to your liking on this page. Kind regards --Bobnotts talk 23:20, 4 February 2008 (PST)

Thank you, Robert. While I was able to figure out how to successfully post the works and remove the midi icon, I wasn't certain how to separate/combine things as you have so tidily done. I have written several ostinati which I'll put up in due time, and I'm sure a brief study of the wiki code as it is now, will guide the way for the third category.

Thank you also for the info about software. I've tried NotePad and Cakewalk in the past and have been very disappointed with them. I'll definitely look at some of the ones on your list.

I'm one of those composers who isn't as much interested in any royalties or other profits as I am having the music available for people to perform and enjoy -- that's why I wrote it in the first place. CPDL is a great medium for this.

Now hopefully this reply works.... wiki is an entirely new medium for this newbie -- thank goodness for the forums!

Your hymns

Hi Thurlow. I've just ordered the links to pages for hymns, hymn tunes and hymn settings on your composer page. I've also created new hymn tune pages for Gospel Feast and Old Lancaster. The established standard for hymns on CPDL is to have a hymn tune page for every hymn that is featured for cross -referencing though this doesn't always happen. Also, there currently isn't a way to automate the process. If you can get your head round creating new hymn tune pages when you add a hymn that would be great. If not, don't worry, someone will (hopefully!) come along and sort it out. --Bobnotts talk 08:57, 15 February 2008 (PST)

Hi, Robert. I was just about to upload the latest hymn tune, but read your message first. I'll have to peruse how you've re-configured things so I can enter the wiki correctly. And just when I've gotten the hang of it....!Tweedfour 09:15, 15 February 2008 (PST)

Robert, an addendum to the previous response. I just stuck the newest tune on to the page, and it wasn't difficult at all. I also found the page for the Metres. Thanks for your help!Tweedfour 09:47, 15 February 2008 (PST)
