My "editing" work for CPDL is entirely typesetting; I am not a professional editor of music, but rather I make occasional comments on my editions to the end that performances may be enhanced without detracting from the composer's published intentions. I aim for my editions to be of the highest possible quality in terms of being technically correct (right pitch and rhythm of notes, etc.) and to be as clear as possible for performers. If you have noticed any mistakes, please contact me on the above address and I will endeavour to correct them.

I haven't worked on any new editions for a while since almost all of my time for CPDL is taken up with admin and maintenance jobs. However, before those took over my life, I was working on the following:

Robert Nottingham, 2010

I am an administrator of this site and Chair of the Board of Directors. If you have a problem or question, feel free to drop me a line on my talk page. If I don't know the answer, I'll do my best to find out or I'll be able to point you in the direction of someone who can help. Aside from my talk page, you can send me an email: robert.nottingham At sign.png cpdl.org or send a private message on the forums (username: bobnotts), but a message on my talk page is preferred. If you email me, please include "CPDL" somewhere in the subject line to prevent your message being caught by the spam filter.

What do I do here? I'm just the caretaker.

My editions

Contributor since: 2004-04-23

Number of editions on CPDL: 35 (automatically updated list)

Works with editions by this editor: 43 (see list)

My "editing" work for CPDL is entirely typesetting; I am not a professional editor of music, but rather I make occasional comments on my editions to the end that performances may be enhanced without detracting from the composer's published intentions. I aim for my editions to be of the highest possible quality in terms of being technically correct (right pitch and rhythm of notes, etc.) and to be as clear as possible for performers. If you have noticed any mistakes, please contact me on the above address and I will endeavour to correct them.

I am currently working on the following:
