IMSLP Forums

I don't know an answer to this, but I thing that this is a feature we definitely need, especially for Graupner, as there it is more than difficult to find 10 typesets among 1000 works. This would also help to make these typesets stand out more clearly (which I have kind of a personal interest in as ...

Hi everybody!

I just wanted to know if there is any possibility to change one's user name on the IMSLP wiki (without creating a new account of course).

Unfortunately, I found out that I cannot download the Bologna files without watermarks. So either you have to remove them manually or keep them in the files (which I did with some other uploads from there and nobody complained so far).

Well I think there is no need to hurry about this problem, as there as still nearly 1000 works of Graupner to come before we have to think about issues of completeness

Hi everybody! I just noticed that the links to the work pages are sorted in a strange way. This phenomenon can be seen best for Christoph Graupner. There is a whole bunch of cantatas by Graupner that start with the word "Ach". In the list, we then first get the cantatas where the second wo...

Why don't you put both online, the individual pdfs and one for the whole collection? This is what is currently done for madrigal books from BNF where we have one file containing all parts and one file for each part.

Brautigam is currently working on a complete cycle of all Beethoven piano works. So far, there are the 8 volumes with the 32 sonatas as well as one volume with sonatinas. But I think one has to buy them separately, there is no box set or whatever (yet).

I'd recommend Ronald Brautigam as he performs on historic instruments (I guess he is the first one who does the complete cycle on these instruments).

I want to add another point to this discussion. So far we could always say that for lilypond sources, there is mutopiaproject. Unfortunately, it seems that this project is currently out of people who have enough time to do the administrational stuff. So it seems as if sooner or later, mutopiaproject...

I also am a bit sceptical about this sign... to me it sounds like an invention of the copyright mafia, as a new tool to block access to certain things one day...but maybe I'm a bit paranoid when it comes to these things.

As I now have a complete list of all the pieces they currently offer on the internet, I decided to download everything I can get (still in progress). Should I upload the files somewhere else (zipped) such that everyone interested can download them, remove logos, combine them to a pdf and upload them...

I think it's worth trying the email address given there... I mean in some sense you are helping some, not the other way around, so they should be willing to understand english ;-) Concerning the old files, let's take http://badigit.comune.bologna.it/cmbm/images/ripro/gaspari/_V086/V086.asp as an exa...

I fear I can't help as I don't speak Italian either. I noticed, however, that there is seemingly the possibility to download at least the older files without a watermark. So probably I will try to get everything downloaded I can get hands on, such that the clean files can be released later one after...

Well, people working in public libraries sometimes behave strangely when it comes to their personal interpretation of copyright and digital collections... I never used these closed source graphic programs... can The Gimp do the same? And is there some way of doing this image processing automatically...

I experience the same problem. Actually I think it is done to prevent us from downloading the files and uploading them on IMSLP. Some time ago, one could download the files without any water mark (that's how I got the files uploaded so far by me). Only a few weeks ago they changed to the (visible) f...
