Tallis Dorian
As far as I'm aware, "short service" and "Dorian" are both 19th or 20th century titles, and both remain in use. There is an older title, the First Service (which, at a guess, was coined by John Barnard), but I can't say that I've heard it used. "Short service in the Dorian mode" seems reasonably unambiguous.

Webbe You gave me your heart
Possible errors:
Bar 20: Alto - last note should be B, not A
Bars 23-24: Tenor I - Missing slur.
Bar 14: Tenor I - G natural rather than G sharp feels more appropriate to me.

4 editor-induced errors (two bar zeros, and all subsequent bars misnumbered) corrected. Amended pdf will be posted soon. Thanks for the observation. Cjshawcj (talk) 18:22, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
SortWorks
You may have noticed that we have been making significant changes to the composer pages over the last few weeks. The main purpose is to automate, as much as possible, the process of uploading editions to the site. We have eliminated the file information from the composer pages because we have found from experience that when people upload new versions of files the are often unaware that the files on the composer page need to be adjusted manually. We were therefore ending up with a mismatch between the files. Another reason is that people need to be aware of any copyright restrictions before they download a file and these can olonly be found on the works page.
One side benefit is that the new system picks up works which have not been added to the composer page. (My record so far is 21, including, embarrassingly, one of my own!) It will also identify works where the composer is identified as arranger; any work in the list which has another composer's name is an arrangement.
It becomes less useful on the more complicated composer pages, particularly if the works are arranged by opus number, or by publication, but that covers considerably less than 10% of composers.
As one of the major contributors to the site, it would be very useful to have your feedback, whether positive or negative, on the changes.Jamesgibb (talk) 08:59, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
Cantate Domino (Hieronymus Praetorius)
Great to see the new additions! I was wondering, could this be the Cantate Domino, No. 98 in Florilegium Portense I 1618 as well as the one published in Canticum B. Mariae Virginis (and other motets), 1622? Richard Mix (talk) 20:26, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
Yes to Canticum, dunno about Florilegium. I have several Florilegium links to make soon (e.g. new Erbach's, and will check then. Cjshawcj (talk) 20:37, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
On precipitate tinkering
While it is unfortunate that Claude has (quite inadvertently) made edits to some of your posts that you still had edits of your own you wished to make (and then your edits were blocked, actually you should have had a request to merge your edits with the previous ones), it seems that you have really been rather unkind to Claude. I can assure you that Claude is extremely conscientious with his gargantuan efforts here at CPDL. He has made more edits than anyone by a factor of about two. And he works arduously to keep up with the current submissions of scores, so as to prevent a growing backlog. I see that Claude himself has made an apology when you posted on his talk page about this. But it seems to me that you might apologise as well, if only to clear the air.
In the meantime, may I suggest (actually, I am requesting and strongly urging) that you post the Template:InUse at the top of any page for which you are making sequential edits so that this sort of thing does not happen again. Simply put {{InUse}} at the top of any such page, and please remove it with you are finished with the editing sequence. You are not the only one for whom this getting blitzed by someone else's edits has occurred (it's happened to me numerous times). Now you know that there is a simple remedy.
