Oskar Bohme is not listed when one browses composers alphabetacally. I know he has his own page on IMSLP because I saw it when I "googled" his name. Somebody please fix this.

Thank you

It is there, but because of the umlaut, it is alphabetized at the end of the Bs, although Georg Böhm and Johann Ludwig Böhner both are after the normal "Boh . . ." composers. Quite why poor Oskar landed up at the end is not very clear. I know in some languages, a letter with a diacritic is considered a different letter, so normal alphabetical rules might not apply, but all three of these should be in the same place?

Someone with more inner nuts and bolts knowledge of the system will have to answer this, but in the meantime, go to the end of the Bs, and you will find Oskar's page!
