Re: 30,000 Users

I'm curious as to whether IMSLP keeps viewable stats on the number of downloads for each piece of music in its collection. As an active (new) member who recently uploaded a scanning of Gilbert and Sullivan's "Patience", I'd be interested to see how many users either visited or downloaded t...

Re: PDF size limit

Dear Kalliwoda friend, Thank you for your kind suggestions. I've been away this past week, but will soon try to upload the "Patience" PDF to IMSLP. You will forgive me for not going with your procedures, but simply dealing with the 30.8 MB file I've generated...since you've found it at lea...

Re: PDF size limit

Well, thanks.

The gift horse may not have perfect teeth, but it can still do a bit of work.

Pettruccians must allow to sometimes have what they pay for. (with some leniency for us amateurs!)

Now, on to the uploading - where, and how, please?

Re: PDF size limit

This is the same page from the original scan. the file size is 1.4MB. Its quality doesn't seem so much better than that of the above, reduced scan: http://www.mediafire.com/i/?ma5hi043un2by39 Here we have a sample from an IMSLP-downloaded v. of "Princess Ida". Note the quality: http://www....

Re: PDF size limit

Thanks again.. Please have a look at this sample: http://www.mediafire.com/i/?3v42ob2cesxgo38 Granted, the PDF detail quality is a touch on the soft side, but as the score it was copied from seems to have been a late printing, its quality wasn't ideal either. I didn't see any halos you mentioned, an...

Re: PDF size limit

Thanks, sometimes it's better just to leave things and come back to them later. As it turned out, I finally stumbled across a fix to reduce the file size to 30.8 MB by submitting the first reduced pdf to Acrobat Pro and (I think) cutting the dpi down to 150. In effect, I was further reducing the red...

Re: PDF size limit

OK, I've been able to reduce the 127 pp. of Patience vocal/piano score with dialogue PDF from 153 MB to 84MB. How can I submit this for inclusion in the IMSLP library?
thanks,

Re: PDF size limit

Thanks so much. Actually, I am on a Mac also, so much of the technical information mentioned is foreign to me, as it seems to be directed to Windows platform users. I do have Acrobat Professional, Graphic Converter, and Photoshop CS 3 - which I believe enable one to batch convert multiple files. Cou...

PDF size limit

Hello, I'm new to the forum, although I've enjoyed downloading some favorites from IMSLP over the past month since reading about it in a newspaper article. As I noticed a lack of a complete vocal score for Gilbert and Sullivan's "Patience", I am currently scanning a copy to submit as a con...
