Thanks for letting me know what is and isn't helpful, Sallen112. I'll avoid posts like this in the future. Yes, you certainly do more than your fair share of the reviews! I suppose the thing I don't understand is, if the situation is this dire, why am I not seeing any ads — on the site or on its soc...

Hello. Just shy of five weeks ago, I submitted scores for a couple of works by Gilbert Vinter: https://imslp.org/wiki/Hunter%27s_Moon_(Vinter,_Gilbert) – full score of Hunter's Moon https://imslp.org/wiki/Concertino_for_B-flat_Clarinet_and_Orchestra_(Vinter,_Gilbert) – clarinet/piano reduction of th...

Excellent - thanks for reviewing, Sallen112. I really appreciate the work the copyright team does, and I'm sure Hervé feels the same way.

Can we get a review for Hervé? I don't see any sign that his submission was looked at, and the parts were submitted Aug 25. It is extremely demoralizing for submitters not to know if one's hard work is going to be submitted. Someone will likely say that Hervé needs to be patient, and he has been. Th...

What are a couple of the worst issues with the parts, jemiller226?

Fellow contributor here — I think there is a backlog. I submitted several scores in September. Some were reviewed almost immediately (which was delightful). In other cases, though, I have uploads as far back as Sept 11 that haven't been reviewed ( Haydn , Vinter , and Vinter again ). So you are at l...

Per social media posts I've seen, the new large model from OpenAI ("Astra") is capable of engraving scores in Lilypond based on image inputs. The most in-depth post I've found is here, from an earnest musician who says he or she is going to upload this to IMSLP once they have an account: h...

ScoreUpdater, Sallen112, other copyright reviewers — many thanks for the work you're doing! I understand it's a small team and you are getting absolutely hammered by the January excitement. An idea: if the expected review time is a week, might it make sense to update the message that users see when ...

Thanks, Sallen, I'll get access to the scores and try posting in the next few months.

Hi, I'm looking to check on the legal status of arrangements of two different pieces by a composer who died in 1905, Franz Strauss. Both works are originally for horn and orchestra and have been arranged for horn and piano. One arrangement is from 1937 with no arranger identified in the score. Anoth...

Joëlle, I'm not a copyright reviewer, but I may be able to help you with one thing you mentioned — the incorrect piece title. Can you please share a link to the page and explain what needs to be changed? Edit: I see Sallen112 already gave you this info on IMSLP itself: https://imslp.org/index.php?ti...

It looks like Messiaen's Category page is locked; there's no button for adding new works. Who can create a page for Le Banquet céleste?

Yes, I agree everything seems to be working fine. That's a relief

Notenschreiber, congratulations!

The files on IMSLP are currently given a unique number, six digits long. We have reached over 995 000, which means there are fewer than 5000 numbers before we get to seven digits. Just checking — is there a plan for handling this on the IMSLP infrastructure? Will anything break? Two things that come...
