Help

Welcome! and thank you for all the new scores you have been posting to ChoralWiki. There is just one minor omission with what you have done: When you copy the code from the addworks form onto the works page, you are (apparently uniformly) omitting the first line ==Music files== (which is right before the line consisting of {{Legend}}). In other words, the works pages should begin with: ==Music files== {{Legend}} We can fix the pages you've already created by hand, but it would be less work for admins if you could include the missing line in the future. Thanks very much!

Page names

Hi James. Great to see all your editions appearing on here! Just one thing - please title page with just the title of the work followed by the composer name. So for all these hymns, the tune name should not be in the page title but in the page itself. Users searching for the tune will find it in the page if they search for it. I will correct the existing cases but please remember this for the future.

I would also mention capitalisation - where the title of the work is the first line of the text as it so often is for hymns, only proper nouns and the first word should be capitalised. However, you seem to be doing this already. Many thanks for all your contributions and merry Christmas! --Bobnotts talk 16:30, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi James, to correct a page name, as Rob suggested above, you don't need to create a new page (it's in fact bad because we end up with duplicate pages); all you need to do is use the "move" option on top of the page to move it to another title, ok? Thank you for all your contributions! —Carlos  13:31, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi James. As Carlos mentioned above, please don't create duplicate pages for the same edition. I've just deleted Factum est silentium (John Dering). Thanks --Bobnotts talk 12:09, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Masses

Hi James, thank you for this new Mass by Casciolini! For masses, it's a general standard here at CPDL to put all parts in a single page, especially when the voicing and instrumentation for all parts is identical. I've done that for the parts you already uploaded; if you intend to add new parts (as the Credo or Sanctus), please do it in the same manner. Thanks! —Carlos  16:20, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Anglican chants

Hi,

I noticed a lot of new titles of the form "Psalm n, composer in key (full name)". Are these all from one collection, to which one might refer for the pointed texts? If so, it might make sense to just call them "anthology # n, composer in key". In any case, Genre Anglican chants with a lower case c will get you a working link.
