Requesting help changing names

I know one can move pages and I thought that one could move incorrect names of composers, etc. But I see one has to be an admin. So I'm requesting two moves of composers: 1. Billy Heagney. The page has the name as Billy, Heagney instead of Heagney, Billy: https://imslp.org/wiki/Category:Billy,_Heagn...

More access points for titles?

I'm uploading a lot of popular songs. I've long felt that popular songs need 3 access points for the title: 1. The actual song title 2. The first line of the song (when it's different from the title) 3. The first line of the refrain or chorus (when it's different from the title) If one is uploading ...

The end of Sheet Music Consortium: April 24, 2026

A banner at the top of the Sheet Music Consortium indicates that the site will be unavailable after April 24, 2026. https://digital.library.ucla.edu/sheetmusic/ From what I've heard the site will probably disappear because UCLA and no one else wants to support it. When it was created nearly 20 years...

Re: sheet music misattributed -- how to edit?

You can move the page to She Was Happy till She Met You (Rosenfeld, Monroe H.) and then edit the librettist.

What's in a name? Frederick VI

Because I uploaded a work dedicated to Frederick VI of Denmark, I made a page for him. I know that "Frederick VI" is considered his forename, and royalty general have no surname. But IMSLP wouldn't accept that. I looked at Frederick II and he seems to have had his name purely as a forename...

Re: Recommend deprecating Worldcat links.

The downside of linking to a library is that many libraries update their ILSs, invalidating their links. Library cataloging has changed greatly in the past 13 years (or so) and many are changing their vendors or updating their software. But OCLC accession numbers don't change. I think that is a more...

Re: How long for new items to be approved??

Agreed. I remember when there were generally 10-20 works posted a day. Now there are well over 100 works posted each day (probably due to the new public domain works). I don't believe any administrator "works" for IMSLP full-time - it's an all-volunteer operation. Keep this in mind and giv...

Re: How long for new items to be approved??

You can see all the new scores that have been submitted on Dec. 24 and following (and before) here: https://imslp.org/wiki/Special:IMSLPRecentAdditions/0/700 There are literally hundreds of works to go through and (I believe) only a handful of administrators who can ok them. So you'll need to be ver...
