User talk:Wboyle

Welcome

Welcome to CPDL. It is great to have you contributing editions (of Arcadelt) to ChoralWiki. I see you already made a user page, and I've set up redirects from your login user page to your user page, as well as from your user talk page to this, your login user talk page (these facilitate navigation back and forth). If there is any help you need, feel free to contact me or any of the Administrators here at ChoralWiki. – Chuck_talk Giffen_♫ 13:07, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Quand'io penso al martir

Hi Walker, I think martir' is as correct as martire here; martir is just a poetical form with the last vowel removed, as in quand' (quando). I have found many references to the shortened title on the internet, though not as much as for the complete title. Regards, —Carlos  13:36, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Hey. I decided to change it because both of my sources (a 1581 and 1617 printing of Arcadelt's 1st book of madrigals) include the e at the end of the title. Maybe it was dropped in later editions. — Walkertron5000 23:58, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

No problem, let's keep the form you suggested. —Carlos  03:58, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Il primo libro de' madrigali a 4 voci (Jacob Arcadelt)

I made a couple of changes to your table for Il primo libro de' madrigali a 4 voci (Jacob Arcadelt). First, I removed the "Voices" column; after all, these are all 4-part madrigals (as the title says). Second, I made the "Composer" column sortable by use of the surname sort template br. Also, I reduced the widths of the "Title" and "Composer" columns somewhat, thinking that at some point (along the lines of the Eton Choirbook table), you might wish to add a "Remarks" column. Mainly, though, thanks for all your work on the Arcadelt works!! – Chuck_talk Giffen_♫ 12:46, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Awesome, thank you! I'm definitely new to wiki formatting - I pretty much just copy and pasted the table from some other works page. The sorting thing is very helpful - I'll be sure to use that in the future. Thanks! - Walkertron5000 13:01, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

You're welcome! Just glad to be of help. – Chuck_talk Giffen_♫ 13:02, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
