Registration for ISMNs?
Posted: Fri Dec 16, 2022 5:59 pm
I have 37 musical works (most for solo piano) installed at
IMSLP with "Edition Ottaviano Petrucci" as their publisher.
However, not one of the scores has an ISMN.
Only belatedly realizing that ISMNs might be a good idea,
and accessing the U.S. ISMN Agency's website to register,
I see two applicable options:
"Register With An Existing Publisher":
I cannot do that, as neither "Edition Ottaviano Petrucci"
nor "IMSLP" appears in the list of Existing Publishers.
"Register a New Publisher":
So I'm writing this post to ask: Could IMSLP register as
Publisher, so that I can then register myself as above?
I presume that, once these registrations are complete and
I've ordered and received ISMNs from the Agency, my task
will be to edit those numbers into the score originals on
my home system and re-upload the results to IMSLP.
Is this correct?
I'd appreciate any comment!
Thanks in advance,
Peter M. Armstrong
