NMA worklist additions? ⟨User:Double sharp [#9806]

Hi Double Sharp

I noticed you have uploaded quite a bit of the Neue Mozart-Ausgabe edition from the Digital Mozart Site! Really great to see this edition on here! I was wondering if I could request if you would consider filling out the matching catalogue page here Neue Mozart-Ausgabe similar in a somewhat fashion to the Breitkopf Edition. As you might have seen from the Recent Changes, me and Cypressdome since last week have been doing a large scale editing review of every Breitkopf piece in the catalogue because we have on every workpage a related Breitkopf edition piece to the Alte Edition (65 volumes, a lot of them to review!). What were mostly doing is adding the Volume number (if required) and the piece number (is required for all) so we match with the catalogue worklist. Before on the Breitkopf page most if not all of the links to workpages did not have these two critical pieces of info to distinguish the pieces even further, they just had only the Series number, which was not really enough. But I am not sure how this fits exactly with the NMA publication info since the structure of it and the catalogue is quite different. Anyway this is besides the point of this thread but going off of what I said, if you can build on what is there already in the NMA catalogue page (looks pretty good in a skeletal format but we need the specific info on the Bands and pieces). Since there is double the amount of volumes compared to the Breitkopf edition (126 volumes!) and that I have been already been doing this large editing review for that, I probably won't get into the NMA edition right now personally since it would be a huge amount of work to do this list.

Anyway let me know what you think, I know it is alot of work and you don't have to accept this proposal if you don't want to, it just would be nice to see a more complete list of the pieces on the NMA edition catalogue page since we don't have very much info on the page right now. if you do want to edit this page, I would suggest changing the bullet points that are there in front of the current links to the workpages, and changing them to a numbering system like in the Breitkopf series so they are in some sort of numbered list so in case some day, I or some other people do a large scale editing project like in the Breitkopf editing review I and Cypressdome has done.

I'll see what I can do on this (although it'll probably take some time to finish)... :-)

Thank You! From the recent changes just now, you used the bullet points for the list, wouldn't the numbering instead for each piece be better? I am not an expert on the NMA so it is just a suggestion.

Oh and make sure ONLY link to workpages in which the pages have the NMA score on the pages already! This way we know what pieces to still find and link to the page, like a check off list.

You're right - the NMA numbers the pieces, but strangely these numbers are not on the content pages listed on the DME website. I'll add them.

About the linking: thanks for the notice! I'll fix it.

the last thing to suggest is a possibility to adding the total pagination to the volumes next to the publisher info of the Bands? What you have for the publisher info next to the bands is perfect! If you look at the Breitkopf edition page, you'll see how we added the page number for some of those series. Thanks Again!

OK, I added the number of pages to the volumes.

(To be a bit quicker about it I think I'll list the volumes first before stating exactly which works are in them...)

Looks great from what you have so far! Can't wait to see when it is filled out! Make sure also for the numbers to not space between the number abbreviation, it is unnecessary to have the space like this: No. 1, so like this actually: No.1, No.2, No.3 etc.... Sorry for being picky!

Posted at 08:11, 10 February 2015 by Sallen112 (administrator)

OK, I've removed the spaces.
