"Explanation of editorial principles"

Hello Patrick,

I see you have been putting a statement in Edition notes of several works, referring users to the "explanation of editorial principles" that you used in the Preface to Thirteen offertory chants (Gregorian chant). You have a good idea, one that I wish other editors would follow, which is a good suggestion to me as well! But putting a copy of the sheet music for "Thirteen offertory chants" on other pages presents some difficulties (we usually try to put each CPDL-numbered pdf on just one page). Also, the cited Preface has some words that seem to be specific to that work.

May I suggest that a better solution might be to create another page, perhaps "User:Patrick Williams/Editorial principles 1", and copy your (generalized) editorial principles to that page? Then you could simply cite that page when you wish. (The " 1" at the end of the page name is not necessary, I just wonder if you might have different editorial principles for different kinds of pages.) This is not a difficult process; I can do it for you if you wish. — Barry Johnston (talk) 02:48, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
