Music is an art that benefits from companionship. Haydn used to say that he listened to a lot of music and that it was what helped him achieve his master pieces.

Improving the site to make sharing and peer reviews more efficient is what will benefit the most to the community, and hence to each of us.

Couldn't agree more with you there. Listening to music is the best way to improve one's composition abilities.

I strongly agree with this. I haven't been here very long, but this type of integration would definitely be innovative in comparison to other music critique boards I've visited over the years.

It is now my pleasure to present our very first design mock-ups for the upcoming system! :D

I should stress that these are conceptual prototypes only; the eventual design will not be this crude. Also, the content is framed (not in the literal sense) using the wiki interface, just so it doesn't sit all by itself; however, the real system won't be part of the wiki.

Upload Compositions

User Profile

Video Performance

As you can see, the mock content they've put in there is that of a generic music site as opposed to that which acknowledges our leaning towards "classical" (i.e. art) music. Don't be phased by this, because the content means nothing at this stage.

These are just a few screenshots from a 43 page document delivered to chopin and myself on Thursday, which outlines the system's overall specifications. Our developers have it all planned out - all that's left now is to actually create the thing and then liaise with us until it looks and behaves how we imagined.

Expect the next update in a couple of months. :)

Remember: one should be able to categorise multiple movements as one piece. Else it'll just get clunky and annoying.

I'm pretty sure we're doing that, but I'll check all the same.

ps: what the hell does ''lorel ipsum'' mean?

It's just there to fill up space.

In publishing and graphic design, lorem ipsum is common placeholder text used to demonstrate the graphic elements of a document or visual presentation, such as font, typography, and layout. It is a form of "greeking".

It will of course be permissible to link to uploaded music in posts, but that isn't "the idea", as such. Instead, the idea is for the new system to function as an independent unit, at least to some extent. Uploaded music will be displayed on user profiles, promoted on the front page via charts etc., searchable through the in-built search engine, and so on.

Also, I think I suggested to the developers at one stage that newly-submitted music (among other things) appear on what is currently the results returned by the View New Posts link here on the forum. Thus, it would then become View New Content. I'll check to see if this made the cut. If not, I could probably code it myself at some stage.
