There are many submissions in the Mutopia Project that don't follow the typical 1-piece submission model. There are several opera submissions that contain all pieces in the opera as a single submission, for example.
Take a look at Psyché by J. B. Lully <http://www.mutopiaproject.org/cgibin/piece-info.cgi?id=809> and its layout in github <https://github.com/MutopiaProject/MutopiaProject/tree/master/ftp/LullyJB/LWV56/lwv56/lwv56-lys>. This is a single submission with many parts all tied together with a fairly elaborate Makefile. For your layout --- where you have a hierarchy with common includes --- this might be the easiest way. Collections <http://www.mutopiaproject.org/browse.html> are a nice mechanism to hold several submissions and allow you to present some overview information with each piece. A good example of this is Mozart's String Quartets (opus 10) <http://www.mutopiaproject.org/cgibin/make-table.cgi?collection=mozstrq&preview=1>. If you look at any single piece (the 'more information link) there is some cover text as well as an optional link to a collection page <http://www.mutopiaproject.org/collections/mozstrq/index.html> for the piece. These are individual pieces that are then tied together elsewhere in the Mutopia Project infrastructure. It might require some duplication of your common files within each piece submission. -glen On Sat, Sep 26, 2015 at 7:56 AM, Steven Black <yam...@gmail.com> wrote: > I have a project called "Mr. Beany's Bitty Band."
