Subject: Re: Link to free sheet music?
I just checked the mutopiaproject.org license details on http://mutopiaproject.org/legal.html and did not find any such restriction - it says anybody can do with the music what he pleases.
Maybe the caching should be restricted to domains where there are no license restrictions. I did not check the other sites mentioned here.
And yes, one can already write links into the text field. The only benefit of a new field would be the possibility of caching.
Cheers,
Rainer

Caching files might give trouble with copyright: these sites may allow you to use the sheet music freely, but forbid you to publish them on your own website. Moreover, when a new (corrected or improved) version of a file becomes available, your cached version will be out of date without your users knowing it. Now that I come to think of it: it *is* already possible to make a link: in the "lyrics or other text" field. Maybe a hint to contributers that they can make such a link would suffice?

Subject: Re: Link to free sheet music?
Yes, that's a nice site.
My current plan is to make it possible to add a link to a file with free sheet music that is in the public domain, e. g., on Mutopia or cpdl.org, for every entry. I might cache those files on my server in order to not run into a situation where lots of links become invalid just because someone reorganized their server.

Hello,
have you ever heard of mutopiaproject.org where you can find tons of great music from medieval until 1920? Have a look there and enjoy it!

Subject: Link to free sheet music?
There are several sources of free sheet music on the web (such as http://www.cpdl.org/ & http://www.cipoo.net/ ). It could be useful to have links in the musipedia search results (and ask those sites to link back!).

How to insert music:
Add a bit of sheet music, along with a MIDI file, simply by entering note names in Lilypond syntax between the [L] and [/L] tags.
For example, you can try what happens if you enter: [l]g'4 g'4 d''4 d''4 e''4 e''4 d''2[/l] (use the Preview function if you don't actually want to post this).
You can create these lists of note names by clicking on piano keys here.
How to post an audio recording:
If you just want to sing, whistle, or play a melody so that other forum visitors can hear it, follow these steps:
- Record your audio here.
- You should notice a 32-character hash code, something like: 2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf
- copy this hash code and paste it into a forum post, enclosed in the audio tags, for example: [audio]2a40281c5001c5a7d8c9f57fcdeccfaf[/audio]
How to mark a thread as solved:
If the original question in a thread is solved, please mark it as solved using the "solved" icon (or by just typing [solved] into your post). This makes life easier for people who are willing to identify melodies, since unsolved problems are easier to spot that way. If a problem turns out to not be solved after all, just write [/solved] in a new post, and the thread will be labeled accordingly.
