Importing the file "English folk-carols"[edit]

Let me just grab the file for "English folk-carols" and I will upload it to Commons, and we can show how we proofread against the text. — billinghurst sDrewth 22:19, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ah it has musical notation. [mumble grumble]. I have imported it to Index:English folk-carols.djvu however we cannot reproduce notation. Gee I should have checked that bit. — billinghurst sDrewth 22:24, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, thanks for doing that, how can texts be uploaded using that method? The rather slow way I was doing it was mainly because I was uploading a few of the texts as individual pages and realised it might be quite good to upload the carol texts and Sharp's related explaination. I wonder whether adding the notation as an image is a possibility? Rob enwiki (talk) 22:32, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
We proofread read side by side -> Help:Proofreading )and Help:DjVu files) and then transclude them to the main namespace. Lilypond is able to reproduce notes, however, we cannot get the extension on the wiki until a developer does some requested upgrades to meet WMF's requirements. — billinghurst sDrewth 22:36, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I proofread some of the pages over in the Page: namespace, and then did an example transclusion in the work http://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=English_Folk-Carols&oldid=2250960, which I then undid. — billinghurst sDrewth 22:57, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
