| For some reason it won't accept the replacement file. It says "failure to create thumbnail. Please advise.

| Thats normal don't worry about it, it take a little time to create that in the system.

| Hello again, the files you uploaded here, have content cut off on mainly the secondo part on the left side on almost every page on both files you uploaded.
Also as a suggestion, its more recommended if you want these serviceable for people to play these rather than just study them is to make black and white files of your uploads would be help as well. The resolution is really good (does take longer for my browser to render the images) but would load much faster if these were black and white.
On this one, it seems like on the previous one I linked above and this one your applying a similar general cropping of all the pages at the same point grid in the scans across the board, which is causing the outer edges of the page size to cut off the music content on the pages. The problem with doing this without double checking your work is that because your scanning is not consistent in the placement of the pages, you might cut off content by accident so this leads to wasted time in not carefully looking at your scans, then you have to find the pages again and rescan them if its a permanant cropping without undoing the crop itself (or if you ar applying a page size autocropping in your scanning software). When scanning its always recommended to go bigger in the page size auto-cropping (when you set the page size to scan at, it should be bigger than your source pages your scanning) than you think with scanning pages because of the shifting of the paper with your hands and having your hands still enough while scanning. ESPECIALLY when scanning very old paper that is falling apart as your scanning the item, you might only have one chance to scan a page before it falls apart. Then after your done scanning, then apply a second cropping that is more closer to the actual page size you wanted it at but make sure to double check your work.

| The problem here is that large, landscape scores almost exceed the limits of the scanner. I see that I did nick off a couple of bass cleffs and a very few initial notes. I will reupload within a couple of weeks.
Regarding B and W vs color, we are told that for preservation purposes we should always scan in color. I don't have the time to monochromize these Pdfs. I do optimize the largest files to keep under your maximums.

| We can go up to 4gb files, I don't know if you knew this. We have a special page we can upload this through.

I was just suggesting it as another option of course alongside the colored files to help download the files faster for published editions.

| I have uploaded better versions. Will someone deleted the previous pairs of files?
