On the work page, I have seen a "Move" button, but no "Delete" button. Is there a way to achieve this? It should also be possible to delete the uploaded score files of the work. As the reason for the deletion is a copyright problem with the text,, no history should be preserved t...

Is there a way to cover all of these cases in a query? In other words: How can I find all work pages where the tag "LinkText" matches the following regular expession? (.*\|)*Magnificat Here "\|" stands for a literal vertical stroke, as it is used as a separator in the CPDL Wiki t...

As grouping does not seem to be supported, I have searched by languages seprately, but unforutnately I obtain inconsistent search results depending on the search method. The Magnificat page https://www.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/Magnificat lists 191 settings in English, but a search for "linktext:...

Is it possible to do something similar to the "GROUP BY" in SQL (or "table()" in R) when searching CPDL? In particular, I am trying to list and count the languages used for specific texts, e.g. SELECT language, COUNT(*) FROM all_pieces WHERE "LinkText" = 'Magnificat' GR...

Voicing tags like "MultiVoicing|3|n=2|1st=SAB|2nd=ATB" are handled incorrectly. Apparently the second parameter ("3") in this case) is cosidered to be the voicing. See, e.g., the second entry here:

Isaac's alternatim Missa Paschale from CC3 would be the ticket next time Easter rolls around. Wow, this seems to be exctly what the original question was asking for. A facsimile of a modern edition can be found on IMSLP . I guess that cltfakult meant the Gloria listed in the Kyriale for "Tempo...

Thanks for the info. What is the best title for a work with a multilingual (not merely a translation) text that uses both texts overlaid (simultaneously)? A natural title would be "Latin incipit / German incipit / English incipit". Is there some other delimeter that is recommended and that...

Dear CPDL maintainers, due to a typo in the title field, I have created to work pages for the same piece. It includes in total six arrangements, but one was addtionally created because I fixed the tiypo during uploading this arrangement in the "Add new edition" form: https://www.cpdl.org/w...

What is your question? I guess you refer to the consecution of F sharp and B flat in bar 86, which seems to be against the ficta rules. But as the tablature by Fuenllana is un refutable evidence that this progression was used indeed , whay would you want to change it? Note that this same cadence als...

Great that you are willing to take the trouble! I wonder whether the copyright disclaimer on Tom Lehrer's website should be copied on every work page, or only once on his composer/lyricist page (the latter currently don't exist on CPDL). There seems to be no fitting pre-defined license on CPDL that ...

Dear CDPL team, recently, Tom Lehrer has made his songs freely available on https://tomlehrersongs.com and put them into the public domain. The website includes the following notce: THIS WEBSITE WILL BE SHUT DOWN AT SOME DATE IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE, SO IF YOU WANT TO DOWNLOAD ANYTHING, DON’T ...

What about commissioning arrangements from arrangers that you deem fitting? Just contact Krby Shaw and the others.

I agree that purely instrumental music should be posted elsewhere, e.g. on IMSLP, which already has an entry for Thomas Mancinus (it only has one entry, a vocal collection, but IMSLP is for vocal and instrumental music alike): https://imslp.org/wiki/Category:Mancinus,_Thomas Can someone of the CPDL ...

It is a pity that noone has answered so far. This might be due to the fact that CPDL has no support for translations: there is not even a systematic way to specify meta information about a translation like, e.g., the translator, publication year, copyright status etc. This should not prevent you, ho...

For a more informed answer, you might post your question at https://forum.musicasacra.com/ . If you feel that Agnus I + Agnus II misses one repetition, or if even this is too long, a simple solution is to sing parts as chant from the Kyriale, e.g. Agnus I polyphonic - chanted Agnus I - Agnus II poly...
