|{{mainbar|Introduction}}
|-
|Welcome to the International Music Score Library Project! IMSLP attempts to create a virtual library containing all [[public domain]] musical scores, as well as scores from composers who are willing to share their music with the world [[CC-SA or similar|without charge]]. You can read the full list of [[IMSLP goals|goals]] that IMSLP will try to achieve.

IMSLP also encourages the exchange of musical ideas, both in the form of musical works, and in the analysis of existing ones. Therefore, feel free to create/edit a page with your analysis of a particular piece (please use the "Discussion" link on the work page of that particular piece).

|{{mainbar|How Wikis Work}}
|-
|For some people, this might be the first wiki that you visit. Wikis are, in fact, very easy to use. Probably the most basic thing you will want to know about the IMSLP wiki is that most pages can be edited by anyone. You can go to this [[test page]] and try editing it with the "Edit this page" button at the top of the page.

A [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tutorial tutorial on how wikis work] can be found at Wikipedia.

|{{mainbar|How to Contribute}}
|-
|IMSLP needs your help! You can contribute by simply participating in the growth of this wiki by sharing your knowledge in music with others. If you have old sheet music on your shelves, or public domain sheet music on your hard disk, consider sharing them with the rest of the world by uploading it to IMSLP! You can also visit the [[vacant staff positions]] page.

For score submissions, read this [[Score submission guidelines|guideline]], and [[Score submission guide|walkthrough]]. Tips for obtaining or scanning public domain scores are shared on [[IMSLP:Contributing scores]], and a list of links is maintained on the [[IMSLP:Other music score websites|external links page]].
