Do you have permission from Maurice Vaute's estate to upload his works here? If not, we must delete them, as they are not Public domain. Thanks!-- Snailey (_@/) Talk to Me Email me 14:29, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
Je parle français aussi, si vous préférez. Merci-- Snailey (_@/) Talk to Me Email me 14:29, 19 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.
Dear Martine, Sample pages of works which are available commercially are now permitted here. You have to upload at least a complete movement of a work. We're perfectly happy to link to the publisher, even to Sheet Music Plus or Amazon, but we cannot allow the site to be used for advertising purposes by commercial concerns with small samples, 30-second recording samples, etc. The most recent 1-page sample you uploaded was therefore deleted. Thanks, Carolus 03:57, 29 September 2011 (UTC) (IMSLP Copyright Admin)
Dear Martine, This item was a one-page sample and had to be removed. You should add a complete 3-page file to the page, and we will copy it into the description for the previous (now deleted) file. Thanks, Carolus 01:37, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
