Re: [Mutopia-discuss] potential new contributor
I'll answer you as best I can. No, you don't need separate files to post to Mutopia. I know that with some big pieces they release both the complete work and separate parts, but using separate files to create a complex piece is a good thing. I think that the exact way to setup a complex piece to be usable as both separate parts and a complete piece is not yet agreed upon -- I could be wrong. If you're creating multipart sheet music with LilyPond, I think you're a step above novice. But if you'd like I'd be happy to look at your ly and ily files and give you my comments. But this is absolutely not required to submit to Mutopia. The two things I know are requirements are that your submission be able to compile in both letter and a4 paper sizes without warnings or errors, and that you're able to provide a source that is not under copyright. The first one may be difficult in your situation, but honestly, I usually write my pieces to look good in letter and just work in a4. That's because I live in the US I guess. Honestly, I don't know how a well-typeset piece is expected to look good in two different paper sizes. But that's a discussion for another day. I hope to see your submission to Mutopia soon! --- Knute Snortum (via Gmail) On Thu, Jun 14, 2018 at 5:36 AM Nah wrote: > A little while ago, I started typesetting some pdf's I found on IMSLP. > I've been doing it for my own personal use, primarily to make the music > more readable for me on letter size paper.

Also, I almost forgot: Is there a reason that there is no music category for "Ragtime"? Categorizing a song written in 1901 as "Jazz" seems just wrong.

[Mutopia-discuss] I've re-created a ly file for Scott Joplin's The Easy Winners
The existing file for Scott Joplin's "The Easy Winners" had a few mismatches with the original publication. When I tried to fix those, I found that the way the file was using voices made it almost uneditable. So I re-created, from the original notes, a setup for it. Now I've got a few questions: * I introduced an intentional inaccuracy for one note. The original note sounds wrong, and it is also not anyone I found online plays the piece. Are intentional changes acceptable? * The original file contained a footer. I found no reference to that footer in the docs. I'm not sure whether I need to create it. * I think the name under which the file currently reside (winners) is not particularly easy to find. In general, I think the project should standartize on something (snake_notation, CamelNotation, actual spaces) and document it. Should I rename? As soon as I get an answer I can submit a pull request.
