Re: Title page for reprint of Tchaikovsky's "Vakula the Smith"

Thanks Lyle, this would be a very welcome addition to IMSLP. In answer to your question, I'm not sure but it might be safest just to omit Kalmus's cover and title page, and include the publication details in the description of the file, noting that this is a Kalmus reprint. The Cyrillic title could ...

Re: Failed to correct instrumentation

If you're unsure about the tagging system it's better just to mention the problem on the work's talk page, because you caused a system error with your changes. I've fixed it for you now.

Re: Language issue for 4 Romances, Op.41 (Rimsky-Korsakov)

That's because the original texts and first publication of these songs (1897) was in Russian only, and it's IMSLP's policy to translate all Russian titles into English. We do this because most of o...

Re: Policy query, and complaint

Hello Philip. I'm no longer leading the tagging team (and had no involvement with editing the pages you mentioned), but there are a couple of things to consider here. Firstly, there are an awful lot of work pages where the uploaders of works, or subsequent editors, have not given the original instru...

The link from the banner leads to IMSLP's first message in this thread. But your web browser may remember if you have already scrolled through to later pages.

Re: Oops - I've done it again..(spelling error in composer name)

Renamed again to lose the final ' mark, as per our composer naming rules. Maybe that page title should be changed to make it clear that it applies to all people, not just composers.

BTW, the ' character (ь in Russian) has the effect of softening the preceding letter, so the 'l' isn't stressed.
