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)
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...
PS: For additional and more detailed explanation, please visit our Composer Portal page.
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)
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.
Dear KGill,
Thank you for your useful comment. I would try.
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.
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)
