Hi, Just to be clear, we do need to know the name of the source edition - I hope the "How to contribute" page makes this clear. We don't ask for proof that the edition meets the given criteria, although if you are not sure please don't risk getting us into legal difficulties. Chris Mike Blackstock wrote:

Ok, great. I'll 'clean up' the lilypond source files, add mutopia headers etc and start contributing. If anyone is interested, some of the flute and guitar stuff is at http://www.blackstock.ca/egroupware/sitemgr/sitemgr-site/?page_name=flute -Mike Valentin Villenave wrote:

2008/6/24 Mike Blackstock public.gmane.org>: INAL, but I think as long as these sources do exist, you should been allowed to contribute. In case of any legal threats, the burden of proof is not yours nor Mutopia's. Cheers, Valentin

Contributing - can't find source material?

Mike Blackstock — 2008-06-24T15:28:15

Hi there. I have a number of things to contribute to Mutopia; stuff for flute/violin ad guitar (some originals, some adaptions). Problem is, for some of them, I'm unsure what the source material is and cannot give you that info unless/until I track it down at the library, which might be a pain, especially in cases where there are multiple publishers of a work. I know the the material I plan to contribute was talken from sources that meet Mutopia's criteria (copmposer et al dead 70 years, published prior to 1923) but can't prove it initially. Can I contribute any of these? Or should I hold off till I've found that info? Cheers, Mike

Re: How active is the project these days?

Chris Sawer — 2008-06-23T20:53:42

Hi, The project is very active, the mailing list less so! If you use the 'Advanced Search' page, you will discover that 76 pieces have been added or updated in the last four weeks. If pieces conform to the specification on the 'How to Contribute' page, then they will usually be added within a day or two. Corrections requiring obscure LilyPond versions, and other queries, may take longer. Chris

Re: New "Free cultural works" label

Chris Sawer — 2008-06-10T21:02:11

Hi Valentin, Thanks for pointing that out. If I've understood correctly, what they have done is to say that the three licenses in question (Public Domain, Attribution, Attribution-ShareAlike) meet the criteria of the "Free Cultural Works" project. This is good because it confirms that we made the right decision allowing these licenses to be used for Mutopia contributions. I could add the logo to the Mutopia website somewhere, but strangely the Creative Commons page given above uses a different logo to the Free Cultural Works project itself: http://freedomdefined.org/Definition I'm not sure how well known these logos are. I haven't seen them anywhere else. Suggestions anyone? Chris

New "Free cultural works" label

Valentin Villenave — 2008-06-05T06:21:17

Hi Chris, hi everybody, as you may have noticed, the Creative Commons have just created a new label that marks "free" works as in "compatible with FSF logic"; I think you might be interested in having a look at: http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/8051 Perhaps that could be interesting for Mutopie licenses definitions, could it? Cheers, Valentin

1000 pieces

Chris Sawer — 2007-11-04T14:07:47

Hi, Just to let you know that the Mutopia archive reached 1000 pieces today! Many thanks to all of the contributors over the last eight years. The 1000th piece was, appropriately enough, "Untitled" contributed by Stan Sanderson at 0304 GMT this morning. Incremental improvements to the archive/website continue. The most recent is a "change history" feature allowing you to see what has changed when a piece has been updated, be it a correction, for example: http://www.mutopiaproject.org/cgibin/piece-info.cgi?id=1075 or additional movements/instruments, for example: http://www.mutopiaproject.org/cgibin/piece-info.cgi?id=1026 I intend to update the website making it clearer that corrections are accepted and encouraged. I have a large number of LilyPond versions installed on my system (some using virtualization with old versions of Linux), so updating most pieces is relatively simple. Further improvements are to come, not least the updating of the CGI-generated pages (music info + search results) to

Re: IMSLP

Chris Sawer — 2007-10-23T20:27:01

[...] Thanks for letting us know about this. It's sad to see this happen to IMSLP, but the Cease and Desist letter is quite specific that the problematic files are those containing music which is out of copyright in the USA, but not in the EU and Canada. This should not affect Mutopia as we have always accepted only scores which are out of copyright in both the USA and the EU - the restrictions of those areas combined (music published prior to 1923, and author[s] dead more than 70 complete years) also cover the laws in almost every other country. Having said that, we cannot be complacent, and this is a timely reminder that we need to be extremely careful with copyright issues. IMSLP has been a great resource, and I strongly hope the majority of their archive - which is out of copyright worldwide - can be restored in the near future. Chris

For more information see IMSLP; There is a letter from the founder of the site at explaining his position, with links to the imslpforums thread discussing the issue. This includes a PDF file of the letter from UE. Hope that helps Conrad

Hey all, Just so you know (and some of you may already), IMSLP is going through a rough spot right now after having received a(n unfounded, IMHO) cease and desist from UE. It's offline for the time being. Thanks, Geoff

Fingering numbers

Stjepan Brbot — 2007-10-14T21:45:55

Hi all, when one defines fingering numbers for notes with slurs, numbers are positioned always over slur line (if it if upper slur). That could be very high, too much for corresponding note. How to define that slur position is ignored for fingering numbers. I want that fingering numbers are positioned over note regardless of slur line.
