Running out of file numbers for scores?
Posted: Wed Oct 08, 2025 7:50 pm
The files on IMSLP are currently given a unique number, six digits long. We have reached over 995 000, which means there are fewer than 5000 numbers before we get to seven digits.
Just checking — is there a plan for handling this on the IMSLP infrastructure? Will anything break? Two things that come to mind for me are (1) the system to generate links to specific files (with the gear icon), and (2) the tool for checking traffic to a given file.
I haven't seen any discussion of this, so I thought I would raise it while there are perhaps a few weeks before this milestone is reached.
