* {{NoCo|Domine, secundum actum meum}} | |||
The NoCo template supresses the " (<Composer_Name>)" without having to retype the title when <ComposerName>={{PAGENAME}} and puts the title in italics. Thus, the savings is the sum of the length of the composer's name and the length of the title. And, although I don't generally like altering the titles of works on a composer page (from the title on the work page), one can supply an alternate title: | |||
* {{<Title_of_work_page>|<Some_alternate_title>}} | |||
The reason why I don't like altering the titles this way is because of confusion it sometimes creates for the user (who, sometimes, is myself). It's better to rename the work page or add information after the title when it appears on the composer page (as in the Palestrina "Missa Spem in alium" example above - there is no reason to have ", 4vv" part of the link). | |||
The templage NoComp works similarly, but also allows for the citation (in italics) of a work page by title, without the composer name - on a page different from the composer page. Thus, | |||
{{NoComp|Ave verum corpus|William Byrd}} is precisely equivalent to [[Ave verum corpus (William Byrd)|''Ave verum corpus'']]. | |||
It's rather like how {{CiteCat:U.S. American composers}} is the same as [[:Category:U.S. American composers|U.S. American composers]]. | |||
I've used NoCo (and some NoComp) to shorten greatly some of the really long composer pages. But, even with that, the Anonymous page is over 80 kilobytes and probably should be broken up into maybe four or five subpages that are transcluded to make up the Anonymous page. | |||

Chuck wrote on Edward Tambling's talk page:
While at present we have no way to keep track of the actual number of editions contributed by an editor, there is, for each CPDL editor an automatically generated list of score pages with an editor's contritutions. Yours is at Edward Tambling editions, and you might wish to replace the {{Whatlinkshere}} link on your user page with something like {{CiteCat|Edward Tambling editions|Works with editions contributed by this editor}} or simply {{CiteCat|Edward Tambling editions}}.
Categories incl voicing

Testing tables for translation
Why doesn't the composer's given name show?
Summary: du Caurroy does not appear under D in composers section because lowercase d is sorted after capital Z. Includes how to fix.

Outdated: CPDL Projects I'm Interested in Working On
But please feel free to race me to any of these:
- Transferring Requested_articles into Category:Requests_by_composer
- Gathering translations
- I've asked a retired classics professor I know if he can provide some Latin-to-English translations for pieces missing that information as listed at Category:English_translation_requests (see also Category:Text requests for Latin pieces that could stand to have their Latin text and then a Translation request added)
- Category:Unknown_nationality
- Suggestion from Bobnotts (paraphrased for my to-do list from his talk page: help update score pages with templates.
- familiarise myself with all the templates listed here and here
- Review recent edits which incorporate the new templates. These are the sort of "template update" edits that would be most useful, so that scores are categorised as a cappella, or as having piano accompaniment, or in English, or by William Byrd, for example.
- Where possible, convert these to instructions that can be posted to the volunteers page.
- Anther place I've been finding clean-up tasks: Category:Pages_awaiting_cleanup
- I haven't yet learned to create new pages for scores and composers and uploading new editions, but am reading through the documentation--several people said they're meaning to add scores, so maybe I can do this for them.
- Rafael Ornes meant to do the following. See if I can figure it out:
- overhaul the Requests page (merely figure out something to propose first to ensure there is agreement)
- fix broken categories, most in Category:Unknown
- I am unqualified--see if I can get one of the musicologists I know to volunteer
- ChoralWiki:Privacy_policy is blank
