Using external library templates ⟨User:Tim.willis1685⟩ [#7067]

We have an entire page listing them here. It's generally helpful to have the link back to the particular item, especially if they update the scan later on. Also, you might want to consult with Notenschreiber on anything in the Schrank II collection at SLUB-Dresden, as he's been working at that particular item for a couple of years and might be able to help you out with some things to facilitate your uploading. I know he's added lots of things already and there's also a template for use with just that collection.

Thank you. I will contact Notenschreiber about this.

There seem to be quite a few things in that collection where Pisendel was the person who copied out the item. We have an added field which you can put in for these situations by inserting the following into the "Editor" field while you're uploading. Just copy and past everything in the line below (and be sure to include the pipe-symbol).

|Engraver={{LinkName|Johann Georg|Pisendel}} (1687-1755), copyist

This results in what you now see on this page.

Thank you. I noticed your discussion with Notenschreiber about this. My opinion is that the term "engraver" is less correct than "editor" because Pisendel did a great deal of editing (even rearranging) when he copied works of other composers. There is a list of works on Pisendel's composer page which names him as the editor. I like this idea because the "engraver" field does not link to any such list and it is nice for people interested in these manuscripts to have them all in one place. Nonetheless, I will use the engraver field from now on as you suggest above.

There are many other manuscripts already on IMSLP which do not mention Pisendel as the engraver/copyist. Shall I add the engraver field when I come across them? Perhaps Notenschreiber would be interested in doing the same, as I am sure he agrees that Pisendel deserves the recognition.

Sorry for opening up a can of worms.

If he did more than simply copying, editor is perfectly fine and appropriate. If he actually arranged the piece (either for an ensemble different than the original, or changed the order of things, assembled a group of excerpts) then he should be listed as arranger, with the item going beneath the Arrangements and Transcriptions header.
