Dear Composer or Copyright Owner,
s a composer or other copyright holder, please take time to carefully review the Creative Commons and licensing policies and guidelines.
For those uploading the first time, please remember choose the menu option "New Composition" when uploading your original works (even if they are scans of manuscripts or printouts), "New Arrangement" when uploading new arrangements, and "New Edition" when uploading new editions of public domain works. As it is normally assumed that composers and arrangers have edited their own work, please leave the "Editor" field empty unless another person has actually edited your work (in which case their name should be inserted). Note also that the English term "Editor" is not the equivalent of the French editeur or Italian editore. "Editor" refers to the person who reviewed and corrected the piece, while the French and Italian words are closer to the English word "publisher". In the "Publisher" field, please use your own full legal name, as making your scores and sound files available for free download on this site constitutes "publication" under the laws of most countries in the world. (Note that this is done automatically when using the standard upload tools).
You should be aware that Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 allows for the unrestricted copying, performance (live and broadcast) and recording of the work (including explicitly commercial use) at no charge, with no compensation or royalties payable to the composer or copyright owner for such commercial exploitation. Note also that the all of the acceptable licenses are considered to be IRREVOCABLE once a file has been uploaded with the lawful copyright owner's authorization.
You are free to change the license after upload to something more suitable. IMSLP as a matter of policy will list files under the most permissive licensing terms. Since licenses and public domain dedications are irrevocable, restrictions cannot be added later, but a more liberal license can be selected. Composers are also encouraged to make use of our new template {{NoPerf}}, which automatically places works into a new category - Unperformed Works. To add this template to your pages, simply copy and paste the little template above (curly brackets and all) into the "First Performance" field of the "General Information" section on all work pages.
Before you upload, remember these key points...
PS: For additional and more detailed explanation, please visit our Composer Portal page.

Thank you for your help - and sorry for the extra work to clean up my mess, I'll try to avoid it now...
Miriam Mollard (born 1963-11-16 in Vienna) is living and is my own artis's name ;-)
I don't have any permission for Hermann Hesse and Lernet Holenia (did not know they died so late...)
I have to thank you! docM
1. DO NOT create separate work pages for individual numbers of a work, as you did for your Op.16 by way of example. This creates a needless surplus of pages for the same work - not to mention all the work required to clean up the mess. Carolus 03:12, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
Please do not blank pages as you did with the one for Nora - which was already there in the correct format. We do not normally include instrumentation or keys as part of the title (there are exceptions when there are works with similar titles for different instruments or in different keys). Instrumentation is indexed through a different system altogether. Genres are likewise indexed through the category walker. It would save everyone a lot of time if you would a) not split up parts for works into separate movements - something most players really dislike; b) make use of the "Upload Multiple Files" like on the work-pages. You're actually getting better at uploading and it will eventually become obvious how to do this in the most efficient way. I am very glad to see you are using an appropriate Creative Commons license for your work, which is in an interesting neo-romantic style. Carolus 02:49, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
Dear Albin,
Have you obtained permission from the estates of Hermann Hesse (d.1962) and Alexander Lernet-Holenia (d.1976) to make the songs which include their texts here? We have to block these files from download until you obtain permission in writing. Thanks, Carolus 23:53, 23 March 2012 (EDT) (IMSLP Copyright Admin)
