Hi ArtemAndreasyan1997. Unfortunately, all of your uploads for this composer will have to be deleted, because his works are under copyright in virtually the entire world. You may wish to read this page before submitting things here in the future. Thanks, KGill talk email 17:52, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
Dear Composer or Copyright Owner,
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...
PS: For additional and more detailed explanation, please visit our Composer Portal page.
Dear Artem,
A couple of points about the manner and terminology used for your scores.
1. Under the copyright statutes of several countries, a new original work cannot be public domain. Under the laws of others, marking a scan of you manuscript as "public domain" casts the entire work itself into the public domain. In practical trems, this means anyone can download you score, make copies and sell them on Ebay without paying you at all. We strongly advise composers like yourself not to use the term "public domain". Please read the message above I posted about Creative Commons licenses.
2. When you upload a work to IMSLP, the availability of the work constitutes "publication" under the legal definition of the term in most countries around the world. It is therefore best to use the convention style of publication citation we use in the "Publisher" field: City: Your Name, date. Terms like "Home edition by Artem Andreasyan" are not very helpful in this regard.
3. It is completely redundant to list yourself as "editor" as it is automatically assumed there is no editor apart from the composer for new works. The English term "editor" is not the equivalent of the French "editeur" or Italian "editore." This field should be used only if there is another person who supervised, proofread and corrected your work.
4. The field "Scanner" (which becomes "typesetter" when uploading a "Typeset" or "New Composition") refers to the person who scanned the score or the person who used the notation software (like Finale or Sibelius) to create the score. Most often, this is the composer. You should avoid using the brand name of the software (Finale or Sibelius) or brand name of the scanner.
5. For composition dates, date of first performance, and publication date, please see the guidelines used in the Style guide for the "General Information" section. As a living composer, the publication and composition dates are very important as they are read by our autotagger.
Thanks,

LinkWorkN links to a work page with less space taken up on the composition list generally speaking - any reason for preferring the bulkier format? Otherwise will revert back... Eric 09:32, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi Artem. I notice that you modified the tags on this page, which caused an error as the tag you entered does not exist. Please do not modify the tags yourself - they are reserved for the members of IMSLP's categorization project, who have all had to read a very long manual. If you would like to bring an incorrect tag to the attention of the team, please let us know at IMSLP talk:Categorization/Project Members. Thanks, KGill talk email 21:09, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
