Disklavier

We all owe a huge vote of thanks to Danny [simpsond@...], who is
now helping me moderate the group.  He donated many hours of his time
and single-handedly completely cleaned up the disorganized mess of a
files section, which had evolved uncontrolled since the first days of
the group.  I tried it and you can actually find whatever you want very
quickly.  We now have two megabytes freed up and a couple requests/rules
for keeping it in order.   
 
There is a text file at the top of the files section which states the
following:
 
File 'Folders' have been set up to separate the different song type
categories. When adding new files to this area, add them to the
appropriate
folders.
                      
The *description* area underneath each file contains a short description
that
tells what is contained in each file. 'Zipped'(.zip) files can contain
either 
Several MIDI (.mid) <or> eseq (.fil) files.
 
1) If a 'zipped' file *description* mentions '.fil format', it contains
eseq
files. Else, it contains MIDI files.
 
2) If either a MIDI <or> 'zipped' file *description* mentions '*Multi*',
that
file contains piano and other instruments within that file. (In the case
of
a 'zipped' file, either one <or> more of the files within that file are
'multi-
timbral' type files.) *These files may not play properly on older
Disklaviers.*
 
(At this time, January 2004, some of the 'zipped' files may contain a
mixture
of different musical categories. This may be sorted out at a future
date.)
 
 
To make things even easier, we have created a special upload folder at
the top of the files section.  If you're not sure which folder to upload
something to, put it there and we will move it to the appropriate
folder.  Please zip files before uploading them.  If we run out of space
again, I will transfer some of the larger folders and files to a private
server and provide a link in its place.  We are still looking for
nominations for bad music to delete from the files section.
 
Thanks again to Danny for donating so much time on our behalf.  Bravo!
