Creative Commons

Dear Powell7300, welcome to IMSLP and thanks for your contributions. Just a hint: if you upload your own typesets of works please choose one of the CC licenses, see also IMSLP:Permissible licenses#(Re)Typesets. Thanks and Regards, Hobbypianist 05:47, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

• Updated information regarding Creative Commons, etc.

Dear Hideo,

s a composer or other copyright holder, please take time to carefully review the Creative Commons and licensing policies and guidelines.

For those uploading the first time, please remember choose the menu option "New Composition" when uploading your original works (even if they are scans of manuscripts or printouts), "New Arrangement" when uploading new arrangements, and "New Edition" when uploading new editions of public domain works. As it is normally assumed that composers and arrangers have edited their own work, please leave the "Editor" field empty unless another person has actually edited your work (in which case their name should be inserted). Note also that the English term "Editor" is not the equivalent of the French editeur or Italian editore. "Editor" refers to the person who reviewed and corrected the piece, while the French and Italian words are closer to the English word "publisher". In the "Publisher" field, please use your own full legal name, as making your scores and sound files available for free download on this site constitutes "publication" under the laws of most countries in the world. (Note that this is done automatically when using the standard upload tools).

You should be aware that Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 allows for the unrestricted copying, performance (live and broadcast) and recording of the work (including explicitly commercial use) at no charge, with no compensation or royalties payable to the composer or copyright owner for such commercial exploitation. Note also that the all of the acceptable licenses are considered to be IRREVOCABLE once a file has been uploaded with the lawful copyright owner's authorization.

You are free to change the license after upload to something more suitable. IMSLP as a matter of policy will list files under the most permissive licensing terms. Since licenses and public domain dedications are irrevocable, restrictions cannot be added later, but a more liberal license can be selected. Composers are also encouraged to make use of our new template {{NoPerf}}, which automatically places works into a new category - Unperformed Works. To add this template to your pages, simply copy and paste the little template above (curly brackets and all) into the "First Performance" field of the "General Information" section on all work pages.

Before you upload, remember these key points...

• All licenses on IMSLP are IRREVOCABLE. Once a file is made available here, it stays here and will not be removed as a matter of policy.
• The Creative Commons licenses terminate automatically upon violation by end-users. In other words, if the user fails to respect the terms of the license, then their use may constitute infringement.
• Your work is legally published (in most locales) the first time a file is offered for download by someone other than yourself. You are considered the publisher of your own work when you post it on IMSLP.

Using the simple "Creative Commons Attribution" (CC BY) does not limit the use of your work for commercial use by end users, who can do so without paying you any compensation whatsoever as long as they observe the requirement that your work is attributed to you, and the license is noted. Use of "Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike" (CC BY-SA), conversely, requires that any user make their derivative work (that is, anything that incorporates your work) freely shareable according to the CC BY-SA license terms as well.

PS: For additional and more detailed explanation, please visit our Composer Portal page.

Bachianas 9

Hi Powell7300. Unfortunately, the arrangement you uploaded had to be deleted, as this work was first published in 1969 and is therefore still under copyright in virtually the entire world. Sorry, KGill _{talk email} 15:01, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Work Pages

Dear Powell7300,

Kindly quit attempting to create work pages with two composers. Arrangements always go to the page for the original work. Carolus 01:52, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Dear Carolus,

I thank you for your comment and I understand. But wonder how I add my arrangements to my contributors page.

They are automatically added by the template LinkArr that is generally put in the 'Arranger=' field of the file entry on the page for the original work - in your case, it would be {{LinkArr|Hideo|Kamioka}}. This creates a link to your page and also puts it in the subcategory for your arrangements so that it appears under your category. (You can also look at the pages already listed there to see how it's done.) Cheers, KGill _{talk email} 02:44, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Dear KGill,

Thank you for your useful comment. I would try.

New versions of files

Hi, there is a rather easier way to upload new versions of your files than actually going through the normal upload process for new files. If you click on the 5- or 6-digit number underneath a file's download link (for instance, #105876), you will be taken to another page which has a link entitled 'Upload a new version of this file'. This allows you to select another file from your computer and update the original here without having to take the trouble of inputting information for new files. (You will have to do this here, by the way - for some reason, the upload of the new files did not go through, and the old files were not replaced.) Cheers, KGill _{talk email} 01:56, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Dear KGill,

Thank you again. I have been able to upload a new version.

Computer-generated recordings

Hi Powell7300. I just noticed that a couple months ago, you submitted a virtual recording to Die Kunst der Fugue, BWV 1080 (Bach, Johann Sebastian). Unfortunately, most computer-generated recordings are a violation of IMSLP's recording policy, and therefore I had to remove it. Sorry, KGill _{talk email} 15:41, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
