Transfer WIMA scores to IMSLP
-
Click on the composition title in IMSLP's composer page. That
takes you to the work page of the composition
-
Click on the link text WIMA below the button Add
Multiple Files
- That takes you to the special WIMA score Add File page.
In this form enter information on the WIMA score files associated
with the composition. In the fields File #1 - File
#20 you should enter the WIMA addresses of the files
- In WIMA's composer page right click on the link text of the
score file in order to copy the address of the file. The sample
shows how that is done with the FireFox browser
- In the IMSLP Add File page place the mouse
cursor after the text wima:// and paste the address
of the WIMA file. In FireFox that is done by selecting
the Paste item from the Edit menu
- If you have problems with this for some reason, try inputting
only the portion of the address starting with 'scores'.
- In the fields File Description #1 - File Description #20 you
should enter brief descriptions of the files uploaded for example Complete
Score. The IMSLP page IMSLP:Score
submission guide/File Descriptions explains which descriptions to apply
for various score files like separate parts etc.
- In the fields near the bottom of the form you should enter information common
to all score files. In the fields File/Image type and
Copyright you select suitable values from their drop-down
menus. In the fields Scanner/Typesetter the name of the WIMA
contributor. If the score is an edition of music by another composer enter
the name of the contributor in the field Editor. The name should
be entered in IMSLP code as a link the IMSLP page of the contributor,
for example {{LinkEd|Alejandro|Durán}}
Unless the work is part of specific publisher catalog like Jennifer
Paull's catalog, Amoris International, you should list the name of the
contributor as the publisher. Making things available on IMSLP meets
the legal definition of publication in most locales. This
additionally establishes that the contributor is the copyright owner of the
composition/arrangement/edition in question and that anyone wishing to use the
work for a commercial purpose needs to contact the contributor.
In the field Misc. notes enter the template code
{{WIMAProject}} in order to make the score part of WIMA. If the score
belongs to one of WIMA's special collection you should apply the template code
extended with a link to the collection, for example
{{WIMAProject||Amoris International Collection}} for music from
Jennifer Paull's catalog.
- Look up the license to select
in WIMA's
list of contributors. The sample score is a composition by the
contributor; so we select the Comp. License registered
for the contributor.
- Click the Submit button. That takes you to a page where you are
requested to accept a license agreement
- Click the I accept button to complete the transfer of
the score file(s) to IMSLP. If the transfer succeeds you are taken to a
receipt page
- Click on the composition title to return to the IMSLP work
page of the composition. You will notice a cross to the
left of the IMSLP link to the score file(s). The cross signifies
that the score file(s) are blocked until an IMSLP copyright review staff
member has approved the composition license

upload all of the original full scores as one batch; all of the parts to the
original version as a second batch; and arrangements as a separate batch
again.
