Emilie Mayer String Quartet e-minor: Upload of improved parts. Shouldn't the old versions be deleted to save storage?

Post by azumbrunn »

I just uploaded a newly formatted set of parts for my typeset of this quartet. These parts don't have any impossible page turns the way the previous set had (by making the scale 10% lower and the margins smaller). In addition they have much smaller file sizes with equal print quality.

It seems wasteful to me to keep all the old versions stored. In some cases there may be a genuine interest in following the history of a post. In this case though (and I suspect the situation is generally similar in typesets) the first version I uploaded contained some typos which were corrected in the second set. This third set now has improved formatting and smaller file sizes (Musescore produces huge Pdf files when used on MacOS and I finally found a satisfactory work around).
