Today I started creating a new page, intending it to be a Collection with the Salomon arrangements of Haydn Symphonies. However, I've come to realize this will be a huge task, beyond the time & expertise that I have. I hope someone else can take it on, or at least start it off...? I think they'r...

https://imslp.org/wiki/Duo_de_concert_No.4_(Douard%2C_A.) states that the "Piano Score" (file #193996) has 32 pages and the "Flute and Oboe Parts" (file #193997) has 12 pp. - but both are incorrect, the actual number of pages is 17 and 8 respectively. Editing the IMSLP page does ...

Looking at some other pieces, it doesn't look that easy to change which previewer is used. For example, at https://imslp.org/wiki/Piano_Sonata_No.11_(Beethoven,_Ludwig_van) I see Complete Score (Preview) #51723 -> displays with Peachnote, OK Complete Score (scan) (Preview) #243297 -> displays with V...

For a couple of weeks at least now, I've found several pieces where there's a Peachnote preview that works (e.g. of the Score), but ViewerJS previews that fail (e.g. of the Parts). I've confirmed this in Chrome, Edge and Firefox. Looking into the source, it seems the ViewerJS bits are trying to pull...

At this thread there is a comment from a few years ago that Peachnote may display PDFs better than ViewerJS. Here is a counterexample, tested in three browsers: The Breitkopf und Härtel score for the third movement of Beethoven's Emperor piano concerto (file #01211) initially displays OK in 'View' b...

The Lachner Piano and String Quintet arrangement of Beethoven's Emperor Piano Concerto contains an error in the cello part : on page 8, two lines from the bottom, there are 6 bars rest followed by 4 bars of Eb (taken from the horn part) - then there should be a bar's rest, which is missing - then a ...

https://imslp.org/wiki/Trio_Sonata_in_F_major_(Golden_Sonata),_Z.810_(Purcell,_Henry) says: This work is part of [...] It is IMSLP's policy to keep all entries for one work on one page.

The download PDF for https://imslp.org/wiki/Bombardo-Carillon_(Alkan,_Charles-Valentin) contains the common typo "...carillion" - there should be no second "i" - and indeed a second typo in that it has mistakenly got two "r"s: IMSLP07375-Alkan_-_Op.47_-_Bombardo_Car r i...

https://imslp.org/wiki/Overture_in_F_minor,_Op.1_(Arriaga,_Juan_Cris%C3%B3stomo_de) is listed on IMSLP and elsewhere as a nonet - with the nine instruments duly listed ( N.B. no violoncello ) and classified as such ('for 9 players' etc.). However, looking at the parts, there is a violoncello part in...

Thanks for solving this and explaining. One quick follow-up: am I right to think that transferring a 'new' piece from Sibley to IMSLP can go 'direct' (with some metadata copied across automatically)... whereas replacing a file, as in this case, requires downloading from Sibley to your own PC then up...

https://imslp.org/wiki/3_String_Trios,_Op.1a_(Jadin,_Hyacinthe) has parts for Violin 1, Violin 2 and Cello. However, the cello part (9 pages, 820K) only contains Trio #1 and Trio #2, not Trio #3. The filename is SIBLEY1802.8076.556a-39087009064058.cello.pdf Checking on Sibley, I found the cello part...

I tried to correct the instrumentation shown for: http://imslp.org/wiki/A_Collection_of_Old_Scots_Tunes_(Barsanti,_Francesco) as it implies it is a flute/violin duo but it is actually flute/cello or violin/cello. However, when I try to edit the page and change |Tags=dances ; hpd ; vc ; fl/vn into |T...

D'oh. The Sibley administrator responded immediately to inform me that the blank page 13 (in each of the parts) is intentional to aid page turning. I never thought I'd miss the "this page left blank intentionally" marking, but it would indeed have been useful here. So please ignore this th...

The cello part for http://imslp.org/wiki/3_Concertant_String_Trios,_BI_351,_344,_349_(Rolla,_Alessandro) has a blank in place of page 13. I looked on Sibley and found the piece at: https://urresearch.rochester.edu/institutionalPublicationPublicView.action;jsessionid=394A14F25DEF3655870EC917B1820F5A?...
