Staff Paper

[BKhon]

I realize this topic has been explored in the past, but for some reason has died. I think it would be a wonderful addition the site. I know Feldmahler is partial of the idea. For some reason it hasn't been done though. I'm just broaching the issue (again)...

There are countless sites out there where free staff paper is available (and create-able). I don't really think it fits in with the design of the site to include it.

[BKhon]

So what if there are other sites that include it? We could have historical staff paper on our site from different eras! I doubt any other website has options where you can get staff paper from the 17th century, or late 18th century! How wonderful a thing that could be!

Oh, HISTORICAL staff paper. You left that part out I think that would be interesting to see.

I think it would be a nice addition to IMSLP. I'm unsure how to approach making a category for it. I can't see using a composer category for it, but what other option is there? I feel, especially if it's historical staff paper and such, we would need a description of each kind, and something linking it to a PDF format file (of course). The standard composer pages work beautifully (maybe), but it's slightly inappropriate. Thoughts?

[BKhon]

Just bringing this back, since it hasn't gained much attention. Thoughts?

[Gesamtkunstwerk]

Since it would technically fit into neither "scores" nor "recordings" categories, perhaps a new category could be created, like "miscellaneous," and all extraneous music-related items on this site, like staff paper, graphics, historical documents, etc., could be placed there?

Why was this post moved to this forum?

[BKhon]

Was it moved? Not according to the ACP...

[daphnis]

Maybe I'm crazy then. It doesn't need to be in the Score Requests forum, in any case.

[BKhon]

That's where it was originally posted :p

Perhaps it should have been if feature requests/bug reports. In any case, I don't see how Score Requests is inappropriate.
