[BUG] Problem adding a contribution

Hello,

I'm trying to upload a copy of one of Telemann's Recorder Concerto I've made using Sibelius, yet when I try to upload the file, I get this error message:

File #1: Error: Ce fichier est corrompu, a une taille nulle ou possède une extension invalide. Veuillez vérifier le fichier avant de le téléverser à nouveau.

Pardon my French :wink: , that's the version of IMSLP I use. In English, that says "This file is either corrupted, has a nil size or has an invalid extension. Please check the file before uploading it again."

The file in question is an 82.5kb .sib and works perfectly fine.

What's the filename?

I tried several, before simplifying it to "TWV51C1.SIB", yet it still wouldn't work.

Ah, I don't think that .SIB files are allowed anymore. Check IMSLP:File Formats (Click the "PDF" or "MUS" link next to any file).

Actually SIB files should be allowed (currently allowed file types are PDF, MUS and SIB). Try the upload again with a lowercase '.sib'. If it works with .sib but not .SIB, then it is a bug. Otherwise, it is still a bug but will be harder to fix because I don't know off the top of my head what is wrong.

Also try another browser. Perhaps that is the problem.

I usually use Firefox 3.5.1 and just tried with IE 7.0.5730.11, but with no success.

I had also changed the 'SIB' extension to 'sib'.

I have also tried to upload a different file, though still a Sibelius score, with no more success.


I've just realised that whilst trying all this out, I added two different entries for this composition on the Telemann composer page. How can I fix this?
