Ok its good your adding in the librettist in this field for works with text, but a couple things you need to go further with is the follow:

1. Make sure the field is link to a librettist's category page (same as a composer) in the librettist field when making a new workpage. Search by last name for it to come up in search in the drop down menu for creating a workpage.
2. If we do not have the page, please make one as other users then can link to the same page. The page's name won't appear in the drop down menu right away so you need to use a LinkLib template to link to the person's name (go into edit on a workpage already on here to see this if the field is linked to so you can copy that to workpage creations).
3. Also make sure you are doing research to find out the librettist's full original name (not a Pseudo name or abbreviated first name needs to be avoided when making the librettists pages, it must be the full name if possible) with the birth and death dates also filled in. Same process to making the pages as making a composer page.

The reason I am mentioning all of this is librettists have a separate layer of copyright than just the piece itself so it has to be considered for accepting a file on here.

A couple of further notes: It might make sense in the new version of the site to have the name entry last-name first. Also, it's weird to enter the dates year/month/ day.

And I have no more songs to upload...so no more librettists...but of course arrangers get the same treatment.
