Hi Mandy, A "replace text" function exists, which is restricted to administrators. I've tested it on the following 10 pages: notamos_replace.png Please check that everything is OK. For this test I used the normal text replacement function, which required two operations, however the functio...

Could you please specify the URLs?

I've just blacklisted some IP addresses that had found new ways to produce high server load, and re-activated the so-called "Under Attack Mode" (UAM) offered by our CDN provider. The server load seems normal now.

Hi Mandy, we are experiencing some issues with robots that crawl the whole website at a very high speed, causing a very high server load. We are trying to apply countermeasures, however the situation is still a little bit critical.

Hi Ben, Since some days we are subject to heavy DDOS attacks from hackers, probably due to the complex international situation, so I initially thought that it was just a temporary problem due to the huge server load. I've now realised that the reason is probably different: the email associated to yo...

This is not clear to me. If, to make the background music, you use sheet music that is present on ChoralWiki, you have to follow the copyright policy of the specific edition (or editions) that you use. The situation may be slightly different in the case you use audio files available on Choralwiki ra...

Hello, Could you please specify which specific contents (either sheet music or audio files) you intend to use?

I asked ChatGPT whether other women composers were missing. It provided a list of 10 names, however most of them were "false positives". It seems that in the list provided only Lili Boulanger was actually missing, I've added the category tag to her page. Maybe other prompts at ChatGPT may ...

Hello, you are the first user reporting a problem with the Cloudflare UAM (Under Attack Mode). The CPDL website was very aggressively crawled by many bots causing high server load and outages, essentially equivalent to DDOS attacks, so we are experimenting UAM as a solution to protect the website an...

The key factors that determine the copyright status are the following: the country where you are located, as copyright laws are different in each country; the copyright of the author(s). This generally depends on the year when author(s) died, although exceptions exist in certain countries (e.g., US ...

This is a dirty trick that probably provides quite similar results (10514) distributed on just 3 pages that can be easily browsed: https://www.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php?title=Special:Search&limit=5000&profile=default&search=%22Voicing|4|%22+%22Language|English%22 Be patient because the que...

If you are located in UK (just a guess ), the libraries nearest to you having a copy available appear to be in London, Leeds, Manchester, Aberystwyth.

add the automatic detection of the file type to associate the corresponding icon when uploading a Dorico file I've implemented this modification, so, when an edition that includes a Dorico file is uploaded, the file type is automatically detected on the basis of the .dorico extension, and the Doric...

Some years ago CPDL was literally overwhelmed by spammers, who created hundreds of fake registrations and published thousands of fake pages. CPDL administrators were forced to activate an additional user validation system that is a little bit garbled: it handles a registration request first, which i...
