Many thanks - where did you find that?

Here's an idea: All titles added by the company are in the same font (and presumably at the same size). Would it be plausible to have an algorithm search for every letter of that font (lowercase and uppercase) separately and replace them with white pixels, which would ultimately delete the whole tit...

In those cleaned Tchaikovsky files, are the titles on the first pages left over from the OMCDL labels, or did the program add them?

That's great! The only issue I have is that the labels at the top of each page, which weren't removed, are also added by CDSM. Is there an easy way to change the program to take that out too?

Amazing! Next week I might have some time to start cleaning things up.

And I've thrown in Violin Volume 7 of the orchestral parts.

I think they just changed that in response to our complaints. One of my typesets was there for subscription, but now it's for free download.

On the other hand, with things like CDSM/OM, where they're claiming false copyright, I have no qualms whatsoever about handing out their parts to an orchestra.

Yeah, the composer thing is kind of annoying - how can we make redirects like those on CPDL? (It doesn't seem like it should be that hard.)

Just a thought on style/consistency. It seems likely we'll be getting a lot of orchestral parts sometime in the near future. When uploading parts of a concerto or other piece for instrument(s) and orchestra, could we name the files for the soloist "Solo [Instrument] Part" rather than simpl...

The non-commercial typesets by Nancho Alvarez of Victoria motets are also there and require subscription. Ridiculous.

Yagan: While I'm fine with only accepting PDFs, I also think there's nothing wrong with typesets. Yes, they're not ideal, and certainly inferior to a published score, but much better, in my opinion, than no score at all.

.ly is only readable by Lilypond, but it might not hurt to have it in addition to the pdf. Ease of transposition, editing, correction, etc.

Someone want to transfer parts to IMSLP?

It may be all done, but a lot of the files are uploaded as collections, which should probably be split into individual files (especially the organ works).
