There seems to be 3 different pages for these quartets, but instead of one single page for all 3, there are two single pages for nos. 1 and 3, and then a different page for parts for all 3 together.
Should these not be combined to one page? As it stands you have to go to one page for the Breitkopf & Hartel score to no.1, and a different page for the Artaria score + parts to the same work.

Hi Steltz,
User:Ivdruiz has been going through the Beethoven works adding first edition scores from the Beethoven-Haus Bonn site, however s/he's done so often without any regard for the existing pages - so for opus numbers/WoO #s incorporating multiple works, this has meant the creation of an extra page for the combined opus number.
The WoO 36 quartets are a fine example of this with existing pages for 36/1 and 36/3, and now a page for the combined WoO #.
Perhaps rather than splitting the files up and scattering them between the pages, the page coding for first edition score should be copied onto the 36/1 and 36/3 pages, and the WoO 36 page moved to become the (as yet uncreated) 36/2 page...
The problem is the same for other composers, e.g. pages for the Bach violin concertos: separate pages for 1041, 1042, 1043, as well as a combined page 1041-1045 (omitting 1044)!?
Regards, Philip
ETA: Hmm... took me about twenty minutes to straighten WoO 36 out and also track back wikilinks and misdirected redirects... grr...
