Re: New look to works lists on Text pages

Voicing tags like "MultiVoicing|3|n=2|1st=SAB|2nd=ATB" are handled incorrectly I agree that it's not handled properly by dpl, but I don't know how to make it work. Maybe someone else does? The "include" parameter in dpl only allows one template at a time; if both templates are s...

Re: New look to works lists on Text pages

For the last three weeks, I have manually gone through all 2,107 text pages, commenting out manual-list entries where the information is duplicated in the automated list. I have made some simple corrections as I went along, for example: standardizing the header to the manual list; adding header to t...

Re: New look to works lists on Text pages

1. Many text pages still have a manual list, headed by "Notes on selected settings". When I am done going through all text pages, I intend to switch the positions of "Notes on selected settings" and the automated list, putting the automated list first.

Re: Composer: Anonymous (Medieval Organum, c. 1000-1100)

At CPDL, Anonymous is a composer (it has a composer page ), and so it should be capitalized. And I agree with Richard's "laudable practice" – though it's not really makeshift; a number of editors use this practice now. But I am not sure how his following suggestion would work. (Side note: ...

Re: Cloudflare verification happening while editing; removing edits

I have found that clicking the box in CloudFlare takes me right back to where I was. I think this is a good idea, the tighter the security the better in my opinion.

Re: New look to works lists on Text pages

2. All text pages should now have a TextPageList on them. I'm going back through them all to make sure everything worked right.

Re: New look to works lists on Text pages

6. There is much work to be done in the manual lists: works with the wrong link, the composer has changed, works missing LinkText templates, incorrect alphabetization, etc. 7. New manual entries can be entered, but I suggest new entries only if the information is not available in the automated list;...

New look to works lists on Text pages

Over a year ago, I proposed to CPDL administrators to automate the lists of works on most text pages. These lists needed to be automated for several reasons, including: 1. Many text pages were not being manually updated with newly posted works, yet there are many hundreds of works that need to be ad...

Re: A forum for members' research?

I think this is a good idea. If the material proposed relates to a Composer, Author-Lyricist, Genre, Language, or other Category, the article and its reviews would reach more people if it were posted to CPDL's main site rather than the forums. There are a number of CPDL editors who have gained level...

Re: Slashes (and other characters) in page names

For separation of languages or separate sections (or works) combined on the same work page*, I and others have been using one of the dashes for such titles, like "Latin incipit - German incipit – English incipit" or "Latin incipit – German incipit – English incipit". The first on...

Slashes (and other characters) in page names

I have observed and corrected a number of page-name errors recently. PLEASE DO NOT USE THE CHARACTERS SLASH (/) OR AMPERSAND (&) IN PAGE NAMES! – Because both are used in MediaWiki programming, these will cause errors that only become evident in lists (such as SortWorks on a composer page or Mul...

Re: Multi-Category Search Results Limit or Pagination

Great trick, Max!
And here it is on one CPDL page:

(I have trouble using such long lists. I suggest further limits to the search!)

Re: Multi-Category Search Results Limit or Pagination

At this point, you would need to create a new page in your personal space, and run the template as Chuck says above – but I can't find "lwist" on cpdl.org. Perhaps you are registered there under a different username?

Re: Google search not displaying CPDL results

I just put "DuckDuckGo Search" in my Google search bar (on Firefox), now I can search with that without changing my default search engine (Google). I tried searching on one of my recent composers, Samuel Wakefield. DuckDuckGo gives much more reasonable results, including several CPDL ones ...
