Figured how to do it:
viewtopic.php?f=37&t=6399&p=33361

Could an admin please change the title of the work page to "Umvumo Wekati" instead of "Umvomo Wekati", many thanks.

The first bass part is fairly high, but not unreasonable for a baritone, especially considering the range of the second bass part is quite high to begin with. The tessitura is also lower than the tenors (at least in the first choir) and it does function as a "real" bass for much of the wor...

http://imslp.org/index.php?title=12_Canons,_ULB_Mus.Ms.1454_(Mart%C3%ADn_y_Soler,_Vicente) I have listed this for 3 unspecified voices because I can't make out the clefs in the file. It looks like soprano clefs if I squint, but then so does everything else... :lol: Also, I have listed the keyboard p...

I'm not sure if it is possible to tell for sure without looking at the original manuscript. It is not unknown to have a single composer style something with both secular and religious texts, and it is certainly also not unusual for others to do so separately. Your Worldcat reference does seem to ind...

http://imslp.org/wiki/Artifex_mirus_(Nanino,_Giovanni_Maria) This work has a dual text, with the Latin being religious (though not liturgical) and the Italian being secular (a love song). I have therefore tagged it as both a madrigal and motet [nay "sacred song"], which seems to be compose...

Awesome, thanks!

Great, thanks for the clarification here. The reason for separating the parts like that is that it would literally be done with with two "choirs" of voices and/or instruments (the instruments would either double or replace depending on the forces available). But the point is that they woul...

I guess this sort of thing is best to tag with just the simplest designation since they were usually not intended to have an exclusive instrumentation, which is why they were written in manner they were. The idea of exclusive instrumentation isn't really appropriate for the pre-baroque era, which is...

Thanks for helping. For the J. Walter piece I was following the guideline to tag it for both soloists and chorus where the designation is unclear. If it is unclear whether a work is intended for solo voices or for a chorus, then both possibilities should be tagged To my knowledge the "chorus&qu...

Ah, mystery solved, changing it to "motets" did the trick.

On a somewhat related note, I tagged this piece http://imslp.org/wiki/108_(Walker,_Christopher_Andrew), but the instrumentation doesn't appear in the tags. Again: is this correct or am I doing something wrong here?

I have tagged this as "Motette" but the tag doesn't appear in the list of tags on the work page. Is this correct or am I doing something wrong here?

I have tagged this under "pieces" so long, it should probably be listed as a madrigal.

I would support such a thing, for one...

Could someone help me to change the title of http://imslp.org/wiki/Category:Scott,_Douglas_Walter

from "Nirox Prelude"
to "Nirox Preludes"

...since I have now uploaded the complete set. It doesn't seem like I can do it myself.

Thanks
