Anyone use IMSLP?

What is going on with IMSLP? I’m trying to download a strings part and all it will give me is the piccolo. I can see 40 parts right there - count ‘em - but no, it will let me have 7 pages of piccolo or nothing.

Has there been a piccolo coup? Or is IMSLP having a technical hitch?

I've just gone to a work I've been needing to download a part for and can see all the parts on offer but you do have to click 'more' to get beyond the clarinets.

However the other day I did have the same issue as you. I think that might have been on my phone rather than the computer...

They seem to have a new look so maybe there are some teething issues with that.

A piccolo coup is somewhat terrifying

I’m using the phone. Hadn’t thought about trying on a computer - good call.

Now I want a piccolo world domination slogan.

Yes. I use it all the time. Never had that issue. Also scared of a piccolo coup now! We will need noise cancelling headphones 🤣.

Just been on it to see what’s going on. Looks like it’s been completely revamped. And not for the better.

Too much? 🤔

It seems to be working ok for me today. Wasn't last week though - I do find it's a bit temperamental!

@Vegboxwonder do you mind if I ask what music you are looking at? I’ll give it a go. Maybe it is piece-specific.

Of course - I was looking at Mendelssohn's Hebrides overture

Thanks - I can’t open anything in it but the flute part.

It is probably a phone thing. I have an incredibly slow computer which I will power up tomorrow, and try on that.

How strange! I'm on my phone too and it's just let me open all the brass parts! Wishing you better luck with it tomorrow

Vegboxwonder · 30/03/2025 00:43

Also, the idea of flutes/piccolos only for all pieces is...hellish!

TheStickWaver · 30/03/2025 02:23

Hmm, there's obviously been a slight revamp. Having to click the "more" button is not what I'd call an improvement.

Well finally. Still can’t access the part I want on the phone, but got it on the computer. It looks and behaves like two completely different sites.

This might be the thing that spurs me on to upgrading the laptop.
