Hi, as we all know, scanning books and processing crap pdf files is a lot of work. I figured we should combine our knowledge and share it with new users. To this purpose im working on a wiki site to combine all this kind of knowledge. Please have a look at it. This is a guide on scanning that i have...

hi,

i wrote a guide to explain people how to produce quality scans and pdf's. This probably interests the imslp community.

Find it here: http://filesharing.wikidot.com/guide:sharing-documents

I kind of found the reason for this. If you create a pdf file from an image format that doesn't store resolution information, like png, then it will be at 72dpi me reckons. If you use something like tiff however, you get the pages at the right size,...

Hi, i think it is rather confusing that these fields don't have any explanation. In fact, i think it would be most useful to put a browse... button next to it, so people could upload it from this form, it kind of seems unlogical to me that you first have to look somewhere else to upload it. Software...

Hi, right now, a lot of problems are caused when people use certain characters in form fields like work title. this includes things like ampersands and quotes etc... , that are reserved in URL's, but also codes that have meaning in wiki, eg replacing a double quote by two single ones, will cause tro...

yes,

all makes sense. I just wanted to open the discussion. By no means was proposing a definite solution. I think the front page is nice as it is and by no means should scream FREE SHEETMUSIC at people, but i think we should try to find a way to get found better...

Hi, I only just recently discovered imslp.org. Since i have been collecting sheet music for some years now, so it astounded me to see that imslp already exists since febuari 2006. I think as a community this can no better benefit from growing, both for getting new material, as for sharing music to p...

This time I uploaded a pdf havin two single quotes in the filename... Sorry.!!

Is there any way to correct this after it has happend without admin privs?

Hmm,

All good for printing and viewing, but how do you create a pdf file where you have control over the resolution. If i create a pdf from an image i did in photoshop, even though the size in photoshop is A4 and therefor correct dpi, it still ends up very big in pdf...

By using two single quotes to imitate the double quotes, this page is a little mucked up now, and i cant upload to it...

hi again, on the complete vs individual collection links. What is wrong with the following on the Catalog number pages? D.957 - Song Cycle "Schwanengesang" (-> also in 386 Lieder by Ed. Peters ) Where the first part of this entry would link to the individual page if it existed, and the sec...

Hi, I think the problem is with the composer pages. It makes little sense for classical music to have compositions listed by Title. It is hard to find anything anyway in there and for me personally completely useless. It makes more sense to use the listings by Catalog number. If you don't know the n...

hi, i tried to add a preview image to this page, and failed horribly. http://imslp.org/wiki/Allegro_de_Concert%2C_Op.18_%28Scriabin%2C_Alexander%29 Could someone explain/correct some things? Maybe the Preview File: box should get some documentation on: http://imslp.org/wiki/Special:AddFileNew/Allegr...
