Unable to add new edition

The work page [[Arousez voz violier (Benedictus Appenzeller)]] will not allow me to add a new edition (viz. option not offered). The page is also acting strangely in that links to it from other pages work; links from this page to publications pages do not shew up at their destination. This problem s...

Re: Music without words

The term bicinium is used to mean a didactic teaching tool, to singing or composition, to playing or to singing. Each example has one of these uses, not all three simultaneously. Bicinia to be sung have text (of which there many examples on here). Bicinia for instruments are untexted: those on this ...

Music without words

There are some instrumental interludes, as part of larger works, included on this site of necessity for completeness (esp. Purcell odes and anthems). I myself have appended instrumental versions as bonus tracks to chansons. Otherwise, this site is reserved for Choral works; exclusively instrumental ...

Re: How to sing polyphonic Agnus Dei

a) Sing either I or II just once. Ensure that your diction is so execrable that the passive participants fail to realise that they have been short-changed: or b) Perform the entirety with a stopwatch. Make a note for future renditions of the time at which the shuffling and coughing become louder tha...

Ye auntient orthographie.

Modern Anglophone orthography presents problems, perhaps the most extreme being the apocryphal rendition of "fish" as "ghoti" (gh as in enough, o as in women, ti as in nation). There is a pervasive problem on CPDL with the consistent spelling of older pieces; not so much in Latin...

Re: Cancel culture

I'm afraid that on my first posting of the evening tonight, I have been the victim again of aggressive auto completion. Please delete "The willow song" appearing under my name, and also the composer page in my name which was created automatically. I shall proceed with caution, but if this ...

Re: Make mine a blackcurrant leaf and licorice tisane

I cannot give specific instances, without identifying the perpetrator.
Correspondence is proceeding elsewhere to correct his "barrack-room lawyer" interpretation of copyright, which adds little beyond proving the adage that an autodidact has a fool for a teacher.

Referencing of psalm text

SPOILER: nothing to do with numbering. I'm not going THERE! The evidencing of text comprising multiple psalms as the source has always been a problem but this is exacerbated by the recent posting of Maurice Greene's verse anthems. His texts comprise a multipilicty of quotation. Here, for example is ...

In sweet Joy

A.K.A in dulci jubilo I should like to restore the text page https://www.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/In_dulci_jubilo to its former glory, wherein listing was alphabetically by composer; I cannot do this given the intimidating sort code that takes precedence (although confusingly, when I go into "ed...

Wotcher, Max
This fix works very well: I've uploaded 9 items in record time tonight, since I am no longer revisiting every box three times.

Re: Cancel culture

F.A.O. Max A day of mixed fortunes with my uploads. The first 7 were via Microsoft Edge. On two occasions the details changed while I scrolled down, creating two new workpages in my name, and a new composer page. The work pages I recycled using "move" but I am afraid the the composer page ...

Re: Make mine a blackcurrant leaf and licorice tisane

"proper tea is theft" is an illusion to Proudhon's proposition "La propriété, c'est le vol!" (property is theft); so not a fairy tale exactly, but certainly an item requiring the suspension of disbelief. "proper tea" is a reference to Camellia sinensis https://en.wikipe...
