Re: Fidelis Zitterbart scores

100KB per page is great for 600dpi black/white monochrome CCITT4 images, but these are color scans of manuscripts, so 100KB for images of that nature would be quite low quality (unless their (dimension) size is tiny). Out of curiousity, I checked the Violin 1 part from https://imslp.org/wiki/String_...

Re: Score rendering permission issue (LilyPond MediaWiki integration)

This was previously reported in April, probably closer to when the issue first started, but no response yet about what the underlying cause is or how/when it can be resolved.

Re: Help interpreting note durations in manuscript

For the violin part figures in the three measures, I would guess that beat 4 is a tuplet pattern (8th-note triplets with 16th note subdivision). The piano left hand figurations you mention seem more ambiguous. But if there are quintuplets there, I would think they are on beat 3 instead: 16th rest, B...

Re: Going crazy trying to understand this clef change

One idea I just had that might explain the clef change (assuming it is penciled in): Perhaps the change to bass clef was meant as a hint for the viola to briefly (for 1.5 measures) play in unison with the basso. The assumption might have been that it would be easy enough to mentally transpose down a...

Re: Going crazy trying to understand this clef change

I also suspect the clef changes (to bass clef and back to alto clef) are penciled in. Not sure why that is... If I'm reading the parts correctly, if there is no clef change at all, then the viola and basso parts are playing an octave apart in that section. So, if you omit any clef change there, do t...

Re: Going crazy trying to understand this clef change

The templates for that library appear to be needing a refresh, but I located the catalogue entry:

https://sok.statensmusikverk.se/Record/ ... d=13416770

See the images beginning at page 26 in the PDF linked from that page.

Re: Eduard Holst Shooting Stars Galop

The PDF actually contained all pages... The problem is that page 2 in each part was swapped for the other.

I fixed the page ordering and uploaded new PDFs for the Piano 1 and Piano 2 parts. They should be available to download in the near future.

Re: Worth it to reupload an "improved" scan?

I was asked to edit the PDF by a music camp of the following score so they can more easily print it and read it: https://clara.imslp.org/work/422301 It's a scanned booklet where the pages are all out of order, so I'd be changing the PDF into collated single pages, plus separating and collating part...

I don't know why the site was down (I checked after you posted), but it appears to be back again. Hopefully just a temporary outage.

Re: piano practical editions

I checked Ray Alston's contribution history, and he is still actively creating new Piano Practical Editions. As of this writing, the latest new edition is from Apr 19 (Brahms Op. 116), and two other editions have been revised. So, anyone interested in creating new editions like this would certainly ...

Re: How to eliminate non-uniform yellowing from a HathiTrust scan before converting to monochrome?

Depending on the situation, I either use imagemagick (https://imagemagick.org) or libvips (https://www.libvips.org/) to do both the scaling and sharpening operations.

It's been ages since I've used IrfanView, so I don't know if it has any sharpening options available.

Re: Elsa Barraine - Prélude

Daphnis, I think I see the issue: "IsLocked=No" does not unlock the category, but "IsLocked=" (with a blank value) does unlock.

(At least, that's what I've seen others do for composer categories for earlier PD-US workpage requests.)
