Thanks! I've defined the Rod_Mather variable there (apparently it can accept spaces?!?), and checked that the Victoria pages still work :)  I'll go through and update the individual pointers to use the variable shortly.

The CPDL is for free public domain choral music. As such, posting commercial links is not appropriate. For more information, please see the article What is CPDL?. Thanks! -- Kkroon


I appreciate and respect what you are saying, however the article that you cite does not specifically address what you say. For consideration, what would be an acceptable way to provide such links? - (which I felt in my opinion were only placed in places that were appropriate to the music displayed on the page and in no other place - and being of possible interest to the viewer of the page in connection with the music). ie: a contribution (open to suggestions), Bearing in mind that the site is hobbyist (for my part) and is not on a commercial scale it certainly has never provided a viable income and is more a labour of love. NP


In the Admin forum on the CPDL Bulletin Board, it was suggested that an appropriate place for a link too the Note Perfect site would be on the User:Noteperfect (or User:Rod Mather) page. ChuckGiffen 07:38, 26 July 2006 (PDT)

rodeby.noteperfect.net transitioning to CantateDomino.org?

 Help 

rodeby.noteperfect.net appears to be transitioning its scores to to http://www.cantatedomino.org/cd/index.shtml?Start.txt. Is the contact info still valid? I didn't receive a response when I e-mailed that site some months ago about missing scores.

Also, should we define a {{LnkWeb|Whatever}} location for these 34 scores that are moving? Is 34 too few? Does LnkWeb get defined by an admin at the server level or is there a place to go where any wiki editor can do this?

Template:LnkWeb uses Template:Website which is easily updated by an admin. For a new listing, all that is required is to add a new optional parameter there, something like:

|case: Mather=http://www.cantatedomino.org/cd/index.shtml?Start.txt

on a separate line. LnkWeb is a simply a "wrapper" for displaying the link stored in Website with a net icon ( Network.png ). For some sites changes where the directory structure is preserved, Template:Website would be used directly as the first part of the link to scores.

In any case, 34 is more than enough to use this method.

Thanks! I've defined the Rod_Mather variable there (apparently it can accept spaces?!?), and checked that the Victoria pages still work :) I'll go through and update the individual pointers to use the variable shortly.

Updating links to your website

Hello (Rod Mather?) Thank you so much for taking the time to update the links on CPDL to your new website. Just to let you know, a new template has been set up to make it easier to update links in the future should they change. This is Template:Website. So, instead of typing

[http://www.cantatedomino.org/cd/index.shtml?15.txt {{net}}]

(or whatever) for the link from the CPDL score page, please type

[{{website|Mather}} {{net}}]

Then, if the URL ever needs to be changed in the future, all that it takes is a quick change to the template, not changing every score page that has a link. Also, there's no need to duplicate the link to your website on every score page under "External websites:" I hope this is ok. Regards --Bobnotts talk 09:04, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
