Monteverdi Translations: Fourth Book

Hello

I see that translations I created and added on an external site (belonging to me) (http://marshall.charles.googlepages.com/) were deleted on 16th June 2008. Is that decision final, or is there the possibility that they could, at my request, be reinstated?

Charles Marshall --Charlesmarshall65 11:18, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi Marshall, your translations are most welcome on CPDL! But when people come here searching for a title and find a link, they expect to see a musical edition on that page, not just the lyrics or translations, so there's no point in creating a "score" page for the text only (or worse, just a link to an external page). If I may suggest something, you could create a page on CPDL that would gather all your translations for works that have no individual pages created yet, so that your intelectual work will still be available. Have a look at ChoralWiki:Translations/Swithinbank and if you like the idea, just click here to start your own page! Regards, —Carlos  14:53, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Many thanks Carlos. I have begun working on the page as you suggested. --Charlesmarshall65 20:31, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Hey Marshall, your page looks great! A link to it was included on Monteverdi's Fourth Book page. —Carlos  04:51, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Sorry to be picky but...

I don't suppose there is any way to alter your new Template:LyricistSettingsList to make only the work title italicized? I suspect there isn't a way but I thought I'd ask anyway. --Bobnotts talk 13:15, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Reply by: Chucktalk Giffen♫ 14:12, 15 October 2008 (UTC)  Help  The short answer is "no" because the results are generated from the page titles in a category. I have some proposals that might eventually get around this problem, but they are still in the formative stage and would require extensive "recataloguing" of CPDL data.

Hi Rob, Chuck already said it all :) —Carlos  21:26, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Can't upload .sib files

Hi Carlos,

Currently we can't upload Sibelius files (.sib extension)

Any idea why ?

Hi John, the problem seems to be fixed now, we had to tweak some configuration files for them to recognize Sibelius (and Encore) files. —Carlos  06:28, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Reverted your edit

Hi Carlos. I've just reverted your most recent edit to Template:Website as it messed up the formatting of the link. I'm afraid I haven't found what in your edit did this. --Bobnotts talk 21:00, 20 October 2008 (UTC) PS. The rollback function seems to have reverted all your edits since the template was edited by Vaarky - sorry about that! --Bobnotts talk 21:02, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi Carlos and Rob. The problem was extra space (blankline & return) between the commented out stuff at the top and the includeonly section, which is why I think that putting stuff in comments inside a template is dangerous. -- Chuck_talk Giffen_♫ 22:29, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

That's weird... then the <includeonly> section doesn't work as expected. But I still think comments are a good thing, the stuff I wrote in it is not intended for the ordinary users and could possibly just confound them. —Carlos  01:40, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

If the commented out stuff is made into documentation which is put inside a noinclude, then it is still visible to one editing the template (to add a new website). -- Chuck_talk Giffen_♫ 11:37, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Relative link to the BB

Hi Carlos, I noted in the "recent changes" page that you made the link to the BB relative. This is OK at the moment when we have both the wiki and the BB at choralwiki.net, but I'm not sure this will be the final condition as operations with two servers (one hosting the wiki and one hosting the BB, with reciprocal back-up) remain the objective. The relative link may need to be reverted to absolute in the future. --Choralia 06:02, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi Max, the "relative" BB address is not related to the current Wiki server, but to a particular system configuration page, i.e., MediaWiki:Discussions-url. The idea is to have just one place to alter whenever the BB address changes, so that maintenance is easier. —Carlos  21:25, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

OK, Carlos, makes sense! ;) Choralia 22:07, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Hey Carlos,

thanks for formatting the verse numbers from the passion - I didn't know the command "verse". I did this text editing because now there are no requests for french texts left; it looked easy for me, but the text of the whole passion took a "little bit" of time. But now, together with your formatting it is really nice!! Now I have to go to bed - next rehearsal is on 10 a.m.!!  :-( Regards,

Martin

Help needed

Hi Carlos,

Want to post 2 new composer pages to assist me with Sabine Cassola's five new submissions ?

Missa Ancor che col partire -

Jachet de Mantova (Jacques Colebault) 1483-1559

Missa Ancor che col partire - 4 vocum -

Filip de Monte 1521-1603

I'm not sure if Colebault is the composer's name, or de Mantova.

Thanks !
