IMSLP:Community Projects/Orchestra Parts Project/Manual of Style

To upload follow the instructions on the "FTP" upload page (linked to on each work page). Be sure to set it to "normal scan," and add {{OrchPartsProj}} to "Miscellaneous Notes." Reorder the files in score order and remove any parts that have been uploaded (i.e. we don't need many more cello parts).

When done uploading you need to add in the pre-uploaded parts to the current parts section - the hard part. Change the numbering so that it appears in score order.

Please note that, in line with our standards for file quality, PDF uploads should generally correspond to single individual scores or parts.

  • Full scores should be uploaded as one PDF (not split by movement, except, e.g., if the movements were published independently).
  • Sets of parts uploaded for a single work should not be separated by movement (except if excerpts from a larger piece were published independently).
  • Sets of parts should be uploaded with each PDF corresponding to one physical printed part (not merged into one PDF or multiple groups of multiple parts).
    • A PDF file should not include multiple sets of pages from separate parts (so, a PDF should not have all the Flute 1 pages, followed by all the Flute 2 pages, for example).


Sets of parts should be uploaded in the standard orchestral order.

Thank you.


Please keep track of uploads on List of Orchestra or Band Pieces with Parts Available. It is an indispensable tool for librarians. For further information, contact User:Dbmiller.
