== Capitalisation of work page titles ==
Thanks for all the editions you are adding, Charles.
A small point about capitalisation. Because in the sorted lists on CPDL, capital letters are sorted differently from lower-case letters - for example, Magnificat Quarti Toni  may well not end up next to Magnificat quarti toni - it is useful if you can remember to follow these guidelines.<br>
Capitalise:<br>
1. first letter of title on the AddWorks page;<br>
2. First letter of names or descriptors of God;<br>
3. First letter of proper names.<br>
That will cover most cases, although there is a grey area around pronouns relating to God and less common descriptors - Saviour is obvious, but I'm not quite sure about ''rock'', say!
No problem if you forget, but it saves a bit of editor time if you remember.
One thing which should ease work for contributors is that we are gradually automating the music lists on the composer pages, so there will be no need in future to move a new work to the sorted list. I've already done this for the Sacred section of the Gombert page.

Capitalisation of work page titles

Thanks for all the editions you are adding, Charles.

A small point about capitalisation. Because in the sorted lists on CPDL, capital letters are sorted differently from lower-case letters - for example, Magnificat Quarti Toni may well not end up next to Magnificat quarti toni - it is useful if you can remember to follow these guidelines.
Capitalise:
1. first letter of title on the AddWorks page;
2. First letter of names or descriptors of God;
3. First letter of proper names.

That will cover most cases, although there is a grey area around pronouns relating to God and less common descriptors - Saviour is obvious, but I'm not quite sure about rock, say!

No problem if you forget, but it saves a bit of editor time if you remember.

One thing which should ease work for contributors is that we are gradually automating the music lists on the composer pages, so there will be no need in future to move a new work to the sorted list. I've already done this for the Sacred section of the Gombert page. Jamesgibb (talk) 16:53, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
