Re: Libretti

As the creation of the libretto is part of the compositional process for the opera/oratorio/vocal work in question, it woud seem appropriate to include it at on the relevant work page. Maybe at the end, such as: * Full Scores * Vocal Scores * Parts * Arrangements and Transcriptions * Librettos (&quo...

Re: Encrypted PDF files in IMSLP

While I agree that we should respect the editor's wishes, the CC-BY-SA license under which the score is available permits derivative uses. If that is contrary to the editor's or publisher's wishes, perhaps they should consider CC-BY-ND instead. I'm all for JCFF unlocking scanned files of music that...

Re: Encrypted PDF files in IMSLP

I see that at least one typset PDF file I submitted to IMSLP, on the understanding that it would remain locked, is on the list (i.e. the Tchakovsky Research score of the 1812 Overture). If it can't be left as it is, then I'd have to ask that it be deleted.

Works by more than one composer

A recent discussion on my talk page touched on the best way to handle works where two or more people are involved, and I (foolishly) offered to put together a few thoughts on the subject. So here goes... Firstly, let's look at some of the situations being talked about: Collaborative Works — written ...

Would it be possible for an administrator to make the following correction: Smetana, Bedrich -- should be -- Smetana, Bedřich (with an accent over the "r"). Could I also put in a plea to change Wilhelm Richard Wagner to Richard Wagner , on the basis of the Library of Congress authorities,...

Hello Philip. I wouldn't want to give the impression that I'm entirely uncritical of the LoC authorities (I still flinch at "Rachmaninoff", for example), and for practicality's sake we should probably continue to omit diacritics on transliterated names such as "Nikola ï ". But as...

There has recently been some debate concerning the appropriate forms of the names of some composers, such as Haydn and Satie. I'd like to suggest that we try to follow the authorized headings given in the on-line Library of Congress authorities catalog?: http://authorities.loc.gov/ Their standaridse...
