Happy Happy - I have uploaded La Boheme, full score.

Homer, it hasn't appeared on the works page, though, and it's not in the file uploads list either. Are you sure you've clicked the "ok" page for large file uploads? PML

Edit: Ouch! At 57 megabytes it might be better split into the 4 acts... Acts 3 and 4 are the shortest, but it might as well be 4 files varying between about 10 and 16 MB each. Anyway, it passed the CR, though I presume its a Dover reprint? No page or plate numbers visible.

Do you think it'd also be better to put the file under full score, not vocal? I get confused and normally don't click if it's under vocal.

Hi everyone, sorry about the big file size - I did it all very quickly. I will divide it up into acts as you have suggested, and upload it again. Soon, not now. By the way, what do you mean by P/V book. Thanks.

Original poster (samthegreat) probably intended "P/V Book" to mean "Piano/Vocal score" - PML

You guys rock!!!! LOL however, time was of the essence so I broke down and bought it; I have to arrange for a small orchestra with some unique instrumentation. I found out that Schirmer doesn't publish the full score, but Ricordi does, and they are both owned by Hal-Leonard, so I think that everything should match up pretty well to my Schirmer p/v (of course, this IS Schirmer we're talking about). However, thanks for the prompt response...though I bought the full score, I do believe that having the Schirmer p/v in pdf format would be quite lovely because I have to make a copy for a keyboard player in the pit to put in a binder (bound scores always flip the pages at the worst possible moment), and scanning the whole book page by page is a pain on my antiquated copy/scanner. So...thanks again for anything you might find! I love you all!!! -Sam
