"[first few letters of the composer's surname]-[first few letters of the work title]". For example, the upload of a PDF file of a Villancico by Francisco Valls, "Alegres mudanzas" would have the following filename: Valls-ale.pdf. The standard is the first 4 letters of the composer's surname followed by the first 3 letter of the work title but obviously where the composer's surname is only 3 letters long or when it is necessary to include more than just the first 3 letters of the work title for clarity, this would be preferable. Be sure to only use alphabetic and numeric characters (hyphens and underscore are also permitted). If there is already an edition of the work you are uploading, it is possible that the filename that you enter will be the same as an existing file and therefore be rejected by the wiki software. If this is the case, try typing a "2" or if that fails, "3" etc. at the end of the filename before the extension. In the example above, this would be Valls-ale2.pdf.
