Can any of you Imagemagick wizards advise how to handle the medium-resolution Nanki jpgs?

Thanks.

[None of my business, really, but under what circumstances is it inconvenient to not be able to hide the contents listings? Not a rhetorical question. I love seeing those listings whenever someone has gone to the trouble of compiling them! Olmsted. ]

I think it is important to fix this. When you're in the work page and look at the discussion tab, you see "(0)" - not an indication that there has been any Discussion. And when you click on the discussion tab (though, why would you?), there is still no indication that there has been any di...

Done. Thanks.

I am about to upload Pearsall's translation and arrangement of "In Dulci Jubilo" (in the form of Westbrook's four-part arrangement of Pearsall's eight-part arrangement). I assumed this would go under composer Anonymous. But I find that there are In Dulci Jubilos scattered around the site, ...

The Library of Congress "Copyright Digitization and Public Access" project. A fantastic undertaking discussed here: http://blogs.loc.gov/copyrightdigitization/2011/12/who-owns-the-copyright-for-that-book-song-or-photo-you-want-to-use-making-pre-1978-copyright-office-records-more-accessible...
