Hi Reinhold As I live in England and the server is in the States, I have made this request to Rafael Ornes, the manager of CPDL. The server is actually a university one so the backups may be controlled by a third party (I really don't know the details). I shall post a request for a more frequent bac...

To all contributors: Rafael Ornes, manager of CPDL, has confirmed that he will not be able to restore the lost data except possibly a few Google caches that were made immediately before the server went down. As such, this is my advice to contributors whose scores have been lost and are in a position...

Hi Matthew I've just looked at both of your scores - they look good so thanks! Thanks also for being proactive and submitting the scores yourself, it really helps the admins. Now - the score submission process. Every time that the "Add works data" button is pressed at the bottom of the &qu...

Hello Bob! Welcome to CPDL! I too share a passion for singing and choral music but I don't have your experience and qualifications. I'm a student in Leicester, England and I'm a moderator on these forums and an editor on the wiki. Most of my work on producing editions has been transcription only - I...

Glad you finally managed to get on the Forum, Robin. I hope you enjoy your stay!

Mark Are you talking about the form which is accessed to add a new score to CPDL or uploading a file? I have a feeling it is the former. This problem has been around for a while. The only advise that I can give is to try again later. I know it's frustrating (I've had the same error message at least ...

Hi Alain! I'm glad you use CPDL so much! I always try to list the source of my editions by putting a note at the end of the score. It certainly reassures you of the authenticity of the score when you see a list of sources, doesn't it? On the subject of normalisation of editor choices - it is usually...

Hello and welcome. Good to have you on board, Danny. In my book, listening to classical music is certainly not odd, even for people in their teens. I submit works to CPDL but I guess I spend more time correcting the score and composer pages (which anyone can do as this is a Wiki!). Check out the sco...

I agree entirely, Dave.

You can make an individual request page 'completed' or 'pending' by changing all the word 'requested' at the top of the page eg: {{Request|Evening Service in F (Collegium Regale)|Charles|Wood|2004-10-08|Requested}} to Pending or Completed: {{Request|Evening Service in F (Collegium Regale)|Charles|Wo...
