Welcome

Welcome to CPDL! We hope you will contribute much and well. You will probably want to read the help pages. Again, welcome and have fun! Claude (talk) 07:30, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Just want to add how impressed I am by your work on publication pages! Richard Mix (talk) 18:31, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
Thanks! I am grateful for your appreciation. I think publication pages are super important, because any wiki is strengthened by adding links, publications are critical primary sources, and it's an opportunity to link to facsimiles, which hopefully increases their availability for those transcribing scores. I may not be adding scores myself, but I like to think I am contributing. GeoffG (talk) 20:00, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

Croce Penitential psalms

Wotcher. Welcome to the nightmare world of Croce's multiple printings! There seems to be some trouble with multiple pages for these psalms. Even allowing for a merger of two similar pages, the categorization as a "larger work" seems to me specious - it is no more a larger work than any other collection of motets, and should be accorded the same treatment, with a bog-standard publication page. Currently the component works are double counted on the work page (or treble counted, if you include the English contrafacts) being listed both as a larger work, and as individual items. The problem seems to stem from the fact that Sabine Cassola often directs that works are lumped together in proprietary (non-standard) bundles. Cjshawcj (talk) 09:30, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

P.S. After writing the above, I have noticed that today a new proprietary bundle has been posted (Tomkins Seven penitential psalms). This too is double-counted on the composer page. I don't believe that editorial repackaging should be incorporated on CPDL workpages. What is the party-line?Cjshawcj (talk) 10:04, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
