IMSLP to merge with WIMA

Question: how do you tag an IMSLP PRA copyright status when transferring files?

[lurchi]

It's the absence of a date of death for the composer that's causing the message. According to the Library of Congress he died in 1649, so if you edit the composer category page and fill in the four digits after "|Death Year=", the message should disappear.

Thank you for the information! The message has gone

I notice on this page you have a group of files for the whole collection, but are also starting to put single files on as well. Are these duplicates?

That are files of the single pieces of the compilation. It is a collection of independent compositions...

Answer: on the file upload forms, it’s the bottom option on the pull-down menu for the Copyright status, after all of the Creative Commons licences.

As in "pr-by-nc-nd 1.0"?

Yep. Not exactly clear is it? It probably should have “IMSLP” in it somewhere to differentiate it from the previous CC licences.

There seems to be a problem with the WIMA Upload function. With every attempt I get an error message saying that the file were damaged or had the wrong filename extension. But the file is okay, I can view it, the filename is okay too, and download to my computer and direct upload to IMSLP works without problems. Can anybody please look after it? Or tell me if the problem is on my side...?

Thank you -
Ulrich

Here it works perfecty like this: open two windows with your browser. On window 1 open imslp.org. On window 2 go into WIMA, find the pdf you want to transfer, put the cursor on it, right-click the mouse. You should see serveral options. One is "copy link"
or similar (depends on the browser). Left-click on that one.

Goto window 1, Composer. I assume you've already created the page of the piece. Go to this piece. Click on Upload from external sources: WIMA. Put the cursor on the empty field of File#1 after "wima://". Type <ctrl> v.

You should see something like wima://http://icking-music-archive.org/ ... vers3l.pdf in this field.

Then fill the other fields and submit.

That is exactly what I did, and it worked perfectly until this morning. Now Firefox refuses, always with the same message of a broken file or a wrong extension, even after being restarted. But now I tried the same procedure with Opera, et voilà, it's working again

Funny...

I had problems downloading files this morning for a little while, then it was working again. So I doubt it was just uploading, must have been something slightly more general . . .

I just got this very problem! In the WIMA site, when I click on the pdf http://icking-music-archive.org/scores/i.cirri/cirri12s.pdf I want to transfer I obtain: (everything was OK 1 hour ago!)

I had introduced an error in the .htaccess file in WIMA's root score directory. Please try again

I just spent a few minutes in the bathroom, and now it works fine!

I am ready to do what I can to transfer my scores from WIMA to IMSLP.

Welcome Hans-Peter,

From memory, P.A. Jones has already made a head-start on uploading some of your pieces.
