Re: What constitutes a new edition?

Rob Peters wrote:... first editions of a work by a composer in the public domain (so-called "Urtext".)
Just to add to what's been said, I'm pretty sure you're thinking of editio princeps here, not urtext - the latter signifies a scientific or scholarly edition.

Re: New York Philharmonic Archives

I don't know about the parts, but they certainly do have some stuff that's at least uploadable here, such as Mitropoulos's annotated score of Mahler 6 for the 1955 performance. There's no way that isn't clear for Canadian status, though I don't really know how the US status would be decided - I gues...

Re: Numerals in titles

Makes automatic alphabetization far easier, and ensures that the titles remain unambiguous to all no matter what language they were written in.

Re: A few requests

That is is copyright only regarding the mechanical print of the music and not the editing, whether modern or urtext? I'm not entirely sure what you mean by this, I guess I'll throw a few points out and see if they help: The "mechanical print of the music" is relevant when assessing date o...

Re: unknown composer dates

It has to be done by changing the names of the fields in the template: instead of having the separate fields for year, month, and day, you'd rewrite the whole line as '|Birth Date=18??' (IIRC). Unlike the default ones, this field is interpreted by the template as just literal text to be displayed wi...

Re: Question regarding Frank Martin

In the past, various people on IMSLP have made it a project to mirror the embargoed items that are PD in the US, but I'm not sure how the process worked. It probably involved making the files available to the individual doing the mirroring, but I've forgotten the details. I'm not sure how far "...

Re: Why does IMSLP not use Fulda Symphonic Orchestra files?

I assume because no contributor here had seen them, or as of yet had not bothered to transfer them.

Re: Salieri's Falstaff

I can't find a reference, on WorldCat at least, to any printed edition of the full score. OTOS did publish a vocal score in 1969 , and there seem to have been several selections published in about 1799/1800, but otherwise you're probably just going to find manuscript facsimiles. The vocal score was ...

Re: ravel, daphnis and chloe suite 2 orchestral parts

Found it: http://imslp.org/index.php?title=File:PMLP80636-Ravel-DaphnisSte2.Clarinet.pdf&action=edit&redlink=1 Deleted last April as a copyright violation. It turned out, I gather, that instead of the 1913 Durand edition, it was actually a performing edition by Clinton F. Nieweg (b.1937) whi...

Re: Odd spacing in some computer-generated score files.

Well, I don't know about the latest versions, but every Finale release I've ever used has done that by default through its questionable auto-spacing. It is pretty easy to fix by using one of the Page Layout tools to force a certain number of measures on any given staff system, but perhaps some who a...

Re: Complete Beethoven Sonatas in one PDF

Not unless there was actually a printed collection (not series or edition, but monolithic collection) that put all 32 in one volume, and we have a page for that collection, I'd say.

Re: API account for developing an Android application.

According to IMSLP:API, only those with special accounts can see the documentation for the API - I'm sure OP is referring to the IMSLP-specific one written by Feldmahler, not the general MW one.

Re: [FEAT] New time period for living composers?

Maybe it would be simpler to circumvent the arguments on labeling of periods entirely by letting users directly select a custom date range through a special page. Hypothetically, this could then free up the 'stylistic' (read: time period) descriptors on work pages to actually describe the style of e...

Re: Deactivating IMSLP account

As far as I am aware, MediaWiki does not provide any features related to the deactivation of user accounts - though the term 'deactivation' is itself rather vague.
