Score and Parts on one tab

I am pretty new as a registered user of IMSLP, and find some of it rather confusing!

I created a composer page for myself, and up till now I have uploaded score and parts of 3 chamber works. Two of them (a string quartet and a string quintet) have the score under a "Score" tab and the individual instrumental parts under a "Parts" tab. But for some reason, the 3rd piece I uploaded (a saxophone quartet) has score and parts all under one tab called "Scores and Parts", although I'm pretty sure I indicated that the parts should be on a "Parts" tab.

Is there a reason why this has been changed from what I thought I specified? And can I change it?

Scores get a separate tab from parts for larger works. Generally, 5 or more instruments. An exception has been made for many famous string quartets where numerous editions of scores have been issued over the years. Most chamber music is covered by the Scores and Parts tab.
