Hi Elainefine, and thanks for your helpful efforts to upload files here for the WIMA merge project. Unfortunately, since you did not use the proper WIMA automated file uploader, which is linked to on every work page ("Upload from external sources: Sibley, WIMA, FTP"), I regret that your uploads will have to be removed. The purpose of using the automatic uploader is to automatically log each file transferred; this cannot be done using the normal file submitter, and it is essential for the successful completion of the project. In addition, it would be most appreciated if you could sign up with the project before contributing to it, so it makes it easier to keep track of who is uploading what. Thanks, KGill talk email 15:31, 27 August 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.
Hello Elaine. Pasting file information from another page is a very bad idea, but you can copy over the "Arrangements and Transcriptons" headers (i.e.the lines starting with "===" and "====="), if you need to, so long as you don't change the number of "=" symbols (which are automatically read by our system). I've fixed the file link on the page in question by using an earlier version of your text, which you may still need to update. Hope this helps — P.davydov 19:53, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
Arrangements of excerpts like these should always go on the page for the main work, so these have been moved accordingly — P.davydov 21:11, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
Dear Elaine,
wouldn’t that actually be an arrangement from the complete ballet (Op.66), rather than the suite (Op.66a)? I’d defer to the other Tchaikovsky experts for their opinion, rather than move it without further agreement on where it’s best placed. :-)

I'm having a horrible time trying to upload the more than 30 files in Ian K. Harris' Consort of Carols from WIMA! There was a corrupt part, which I need to mention to Christian Mondrup. I'm not sure what to do!
I believe that Harris lives in Australia. Anyway, I think that the only way to fix this is for me to download the separate PDF files and generate a score-and-part PDF file for each piece. It's a lot of work, but it should remove the problem part (it's the missing oboe parts from section IV and V that caused the problem).
We'll see!
I just uploaded section V as a score and part file.
My toes are fine! I think that we will need to get the parts from Ian.
If you want to write to him and ask it might be a good way to find out if he remembers you! If not, I'll write to him and get them. Let me know.
Hi Elaine, first off -- thanks for all the wonderful submissions! Secondly, the typesets you uploaded to the work page above, and any others like it, must be submitted under a Creative Commons license. Even tho the composer is centuries dead, the fact that these are your own modern typesets and arrangements means that they cannot be classified "public domain". If you let me know which of the CC licenses you would like to use in this case I can make the change and clear the files for download easily. In the future, select "typesets" in file type when that is indeed what they are instead of "normal scan" -- the latter allows you to choose public domain as copyright status, the former does not. Cheers! Massenetique talk email 03:43, 8 September 2011 (UTC) PS: Ditto for Suite in G minor, BWV 995 (Bach, Johann Sebastian).
Hello Elaine. When you're editing the pages, please take great care not to remove any "{{" or "}}" symbols, as doing so can "break" the page, making most of the text is invisible. Thanks — P.davydov 07:52, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
I tried to upload a picture, but I don't think I did it correctly! What did I do wrong?
Dear Elaine, I note that you are apparently a member of ASCAP. We have been having some discussions with them about Creative Commons licenses, composers who upload their own works here, etc. I would be very interested in any thoughts you might have about this issue. I also noticed that none of the works posted here are actually listed in ASCAP's online database. Those that are appear to be published by Subito, Seesaw, Jeanne Music, etc. Do you have your own ASCAP entity? If so, we can easily set up something similar to that which is in place for Andreas Makris. Thanks, 07:12, 3 December 2011 (UTC) (IMSLP Copyright Admin)
I do have my published music listed in ASCAP, but, for various reasons I have decided that it is best for me not to send my newer music to the various publishersmI have worked with. The publishers do nothing in the way of publicity or promotion, and in some cases they seem to do their best to ignore me and my work completely! Since I only put CC music on the IMSLP, I don't think I need to do anything regarding ASCAP.
ASCAP is very good to me. They give me an award every year because I continue writing music and it continues to be performed. And they don't seem to discriminate between music that is owned by a publishing company and music that is offered freely by me.

Dear Carolus,
I just checked in Ebay, and it doesn't seem that they are selling anything of mine (though I did find out that there is an interesting-looking J.D. Salinger story from 1945 called "Elaine." It would be nice to be able to report performances of music to ASCAP, but it is not a major issue for me. I will keep an eye on ebay. I really don't like the idea of people selling my music in Ebay!
Elaine
I see. My only comment is "very like a whale."
