I have added a new composer, Harry Drew (1851-1895), intending to add a work by him. However he does not appear in the list of composers, so there is apparently not a page for him to add a work to. I then thought I was mistaken in assuming I had added him, and tried to add him again, but this time I was told that the page existed. So it seems the page exists but is not shown. Because I can neither find his page or add a piece of music by him, I am completely stuck. Is there something I should know about what is happening? P0mbal 21:40, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
I have a work which I have made into a PDF file, which the site says is the format to use for uploading to IMSLP. However when the uploading browser displays the files available it shows the names of the JPG files in the folder but ignores the PDF files, so I can't get hold of them. I cant see a way out of this if the browser wont see the PDFs. P0mbal 21:45, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi P0mbal. It appears that although you went through almost all of the upload process successfully (you must have eventually figured it out - judging from your comments above you were experiencing a bit of trouble), but it wasn't completed for some reason and the file wasn't added to the page you were submitting it to (even though it was uploaded). The most likely cause of this is that the 'signature' form wasn't completed - this appears after pressing the 'Submit!' button after filling out the file information. Other than that, everything seems to be fine, but if that part is left off and you have a CC-licensed file (I notice the file you uploaded was indeed a typeset), then it will be orphaned. If everything is done right, a page should come up with 'Success'. Thanks, KGill talk email 02:23, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
On 23/11/2012 I added composer Harry Drew (1851-1895), and then a jpg scan of a Magnificat by him. It appeared on IMSLP shortly after, but now all has disappeared without mention anywhere I can see. Will he reappear? Will he appear and disappear again if I have another try? No copyright issue with this one. Mysterious. If I was experienced at this I might have some idea what was going on. Can someone help? P0mbal 18:45, 25 November 2012 (EST)
Dear John, would it be possible for Elgar Carissima to send you the xml file or the individual voices as pdf files? Etkin's scans are difficult to read. Best regards Werner Höss mail: wernerhoesskoblenz@gmx.de
For a few months I have put up with having a wrong default arranger name, i.e. "Louis Elgar" forced on me when entering musical arrangement information. However while it is easy enough to change to the correct "John Morrison" by a quick edit once I have uploaded the arrangement, I would prefer not to have it happen. I don't know where in the system to go to correct this, and would be grateful for help from one who knows.
About Louis Elgar. As "Loo E. Elgar" he was was a composer of popular songs at the beginning of the 20th century. The 1911 census records him as a "Musical Director", born c.1888 in Wakefield Yorkshire, living then at Southend-on-Sea. I have a song written and composed by him "Alone on the Desert" published 1917 as No.54 in "Osborne's Popular Sixpenny Edition", and he has written others. I started adding it to IMSLP then stopped as I did not know when the composer had died, and it might be not PD. No known relative of Sir Edward.
