Yes, the previews look great, you could even say fantastic. After looking at the source code, I am rather disillusioned and fear a maintenance problem. What should a usual CPDL-updloader do if a error is found and therefore a new version has to be uploaded? I would not know how to update the preview...

I accidentally tried to upload an uncompressed MusicXML file (.xml), and got an error message saying that this format is not accepted. Now I wonder what other MusicXML files there are in the CPDL that require to distinguish them from the .mxl files by decorating the Edition Notes of the latter with ...

One of the goals of CPDL is to grow. You can see this by looking at the progress bar for new scores on the main page (3000 goal). But that should not lead to a contest, who can upload the fastest.

Should the type of the file not be apparent from the second parameter in the 'Media:' term? In the past, many Finale and Sibelius versions were supported. Why not create a new entry t...

Yesterday I uploaded the "Musikalische Exequien" of Heinrich Schütz. Unfortunately there was no entry for the music notation software MuseScore, so I had to use "Other, Unknown" (I used the form "Add works"). Since version 2 MuseScore is a very good music notation softw...
