*** rec.music.info - Submission Guidelines and Etiquette ***


Two introductory articles about rec.music.info are posted to this group and
to news.answers each month. You are now reading the second article, which
explains how to submit something to rec.music.info, and which answers some
Frequently Asked Questions about the submission process. The first article
is titled "Welcome to rec.music.info", and it might be a good idea to check
it out as well.


 --- How do I submit something to rec.music.info?

Two possibilities. You can use your newsreading software to just
post the article to rec.music.info, as you would do with any other
newsgroup. The difference is that the software recognizes the special
status of r.m.info as a moderated group, and will e-mail your article to
me, the moderator, instead of posting it to the group.

Alternatively, you can mail your article directly to me at the following
address:

    rec-music-info @ cp.tn.tudelft.nl

Mailing me directly is probably (a wee bit) faster, but using the
transparency offered by the newsreading software is probably more
convenient.


 --- How soon will I see my article appear?

It depends on how busy I am. Your article reaches me as mail, I have to
read it first, possibly edit it, give it the stamp of approval, and finally
send it on to the group.

I try to check and process the rec-music-info mailbox at least twice a day.
Since my site is in the Netherlands, the turnaround time between submitting
something from, say, the USA and seeing it appear in rec.music.info on your
site might be a bit longer than with groups moderated from within States.


 --- Should my article be in a specific format?

No. If it is not totally illegible, I will accept it, and if it does not
have a correct subject-line I will correct it -- that's what a moderator is
for.

However.

You could do me a big favour by making sure your article confirms to these
simple requirements:

[1] A good, descriptive Subject line, with the appropriate keyword already
included (see the first article for the set of keywords). See also the
next section.

[2] Include some background information to your article. One paragraph or
even one sentence can be enough. Just don't forget that r.m.info is read by
people who do not know all the context that your usual audience over in
rec.music.whatever takes for granted.

[3] Always mention what source you got the information from.

[4] Don't forget to include a Followup-To header, at least if you don't
want further discussion to automatically be forwarded to rec.music.misc,
which is the default.

As I said: if your article is appropriate I will post it even if you don't
follow these guidelines, but then don't blame me for not processing it
immediately. 'Perfect' articles I can send on with just two keystrokes.
Stuff that needs editing is going to have to wait until I have time to do so.


 --- Anything else about Subject lines?

Yes. If you are submitting a CONCERT article, please put the geographic
location of those concerts in square brackets at the end of the Subject,
like so:
            CONCERT: Trafassi Tour Dates [UK + Japan]

If you are submitting a chart, please include the period the chart is
valid for, e.g:

            CHART: Zimbabwe Top 40, 24/08/92


 --- What about crossposting?

If you send something to rec.music.info, just name any group you'd like to
crosspost to in the Newsgroups field. Then, when I approve the article for
rec.music.info it will get automatically crossposted to any other groups
mentioned.

Ideally, everyone subscribing to a rec.music group will also read
rec.music.info, so crossposting would be unnecessary and redundant.

On the other hand: crossposts do not take up extra space; modern
newsreaders can be configured to show you crossposted articles only once
anyway; not everybody reads rec.music.info; and rec.music.info was never
meant to reduce the volume of the regular newsgroups.

You decide.


 --- And Follow-ups?

If the only newsgroup you have specified is rec.music.info, then the
Followup-To: field will always be set to rec.music.misc. If you do not
want this, you must supply a Followup-To line of your own, and I will
honor that one.

If you specify newsgroups to crosspost to, then the Followup-To field
will be set to include all the crossposted groups, excepting rec.music.info
itself. Again, if you do not wish this behaviour, supply your own
Followup-To line.


 --- Other Header lines?

This is where things get a bit technical. For my moderation purposes I use
a shell script to process the submissions I get. This shell script
automatically extracts the following set of 'standard' header lines (if
present): From, Subject, Newsgroups, Summary, Keywords, Organization,
Reply-To, and Followup-To.

All other header lines are discarded. If you have any special header lines
that you want included in your article as it will appear in rec.music.info,
you can do this by separating them from the other header lines in your
article by one blank line. That way, they are regarded by my script as part
of the message instead of the headers, and will be passed along.

If you have no such special wishes, or if you did not quite follow the
above two paragraphs, you can forget about them completely; you don't have
to bother with *any* of the header lines. Just send me your submission.


 --- Why have I received no reply from you?

I never reject anything in silence, and I make a point of it to answer
all my mail. However, e-mail can and does get lost, every now and again.

So, if you send me something, and you don't see it appear it rec.music.info,
and you still have not heard from me in reply after say, one week, you can
be pretty sure that either your mail never reached me, or that my asnwer
has never reached you. In that case, please try again.

~Subject: ! Viewing This Article
~From: Preface

  To skip to a particular question numbered xx, use "/^F.*xx" with most
  pagers.  In GNU Emacs type "M-C-s ^F.*xx", (or C-r to search backwards),
  followed by ESC to end the search.  "-xx" is often sufficient.

  To skip to new or changed questions, use "/^S.*[!+]" with most pagers and
  "M-C-s ^S.*[!+]" in GNU Emacs.

  This article is in nn digest format.
  The nn newsreader can break digests apart into separate articles:  if it's
  treating this as a single article and you want to break it up, use "G %".
  If you use rn, use ^G to skip sections.

  This article is treated as an outline when edited by GNU Emacs.
  Run "M-x describe-mode" to see available outline-mode commands.
  Useful commands are "C-c C-s" (show-subtree) and "M-x show-all"

  Contributer's E-Mail addresses can be found at the bottom of this article.

~Subject: + What newsgroups are for guitarists?
~From: Intro-1

  The main newsgroups are:

    alt.guitar        general guitar topics
    alt.guitar.bass        those long guitars with thick strings
    alt.guitar.tab        guitar tab/lyrics/etc
    rec.music.makers    for music perform
    rec.music.compose    for music writers

  There are a number of other groups that might be of interest:  a few
  of them will be listed in Question 21.

~Subject: + Where can I get the faq?
~From: Intro-2

  The easiest place to get it is from alt.guitar.tab.  It will be posted
  erratically until the bugs are worked out of it, at which point it will
  be autoposted monthly.  Once it goes monthly, it will also be posted
  to news.answers (the usenet faq repository).

  If you want to anonymous ftp a copy, it will be kept at ftp.nevada.edu.

  As a matter of last resort, you can email the Keeper of the FAQ (tm) at:

    [e-mail]

~Subject: + What kinds of notation are used in alt.guitar.tab?
~From: Format-3

  The preferred format is (can you guess it?) tablature (otherwise known
  as tab).  Other formats are also found here including chord, and chord
  program format (a deviant PostScript format).

~Subject: + What is tab?
~From: Format-4


  From [e-mail]:

    Tab is short for tablature.  It's a different way of reading music
    than you may be used to: instead of each bar representing a certain
    note, they each represent a string. They are arranged so that the
    high E is represented by the top line and low E is represented by
    the lowest bar.  If the strings use an unconventional tuning, the
    tuning will usually be shown next to the lines so you can see how
    each line should be tuned.

    Unlike conventional written music, time values are very rarely
    shown in the tab. Instead, an estimate of how long it is between
        every plucked note (which is represented by the distance between the
    numbers in the tab) is commonly shown to roughly estimate timing.

    Instead of representing the time of each note on the staff, a
    number representing the fret on that string is shown.  So, for
    example:

e----------------------    -----------------------    ---0------------------
B---7------------------    ---13------------------    ---1------2-----------
G----------------------    ---13------------------    ---0--------4---------
D----------------------    -----------------------    ---2-------------2----
A----------------------    -----------------------    ---3------------------
E----------------------    -----------------------    ---0------------------

Play a note of the 7th    Play the thirteenth fret   Play a C chord, then
fret of the 2nd (B)       on the second and third    wait, play the 2nd fret
string.                   strings at the same time   on the B string quickly
                                                     followed by the 4th fret
                                                     on the 3rd string, then
                                                     wait and play the 2nd fret
                                                     on the fourth string.


    There are many other guitar techniques we all know and love.
    Usually these are explained by the author of the tablature, but
    here are some common ones:

    ----7/9-------   ----7^9r7------   ----7h9p7-------

    Slide from 7th   Bend from the     From the 7th fret,
    to 9th frets.    7th up to a 9,    hammer on to the 9th,
             then release      then pull off to the
             back to the 7th   7th.

    Of course there are tons of other techniques like tapping and pick
    sliding and whammy bar stuff, but all of that has not been
    standardized in compu-tab, magazines, or books yet (though they
        are standardized within each magazine or book, of course).

    [[e-mail] is working on a standard for ascii-tab.]


~Subject: + How do I learn more about tab?
~From: Format-5

  There are a number of places to go for more info on tab.  The easiest
  (from an Internet point-of-view) source is
  ftp.nevada.edu:/pub/guitar/WHAT.IS.TAB a file that you can
  get off of ftp.nevada.edu via anonymous ftp.  The various guitar magazines
  also usually have a page that describes tab (along with an occasional
  article).

~Subject: + Is there a standard ascii tab notation?
~From: Format-6

  There is a standard being worked on right now by [e-mail] which
  should be posted sometime soon.  It describes what tab is, and how to
  represent those guitar thangs that make traditional notation painful.

~Subject: + How do I make tab easier to enter?
~From: Format-7

  Anyone?  Anyone?  I personally use vi, I've heard of people using emacs,
  but there might be some custom programs out there...

  [e-mail] adds:  "I use emacs.  It DOES get a lot easier with
  practice."

~Subject: + Where do I find the tab for this song?
~From: Source-8

  The Internet guitar tab anonymous ftp site is ftp.nevada.edu (this is where
  you check *first* when you want some tab).  If you can't find the tab here,
  post a message which has a subject in the following format:

    Subject REQUEST: Eagles "Life in the Fast Lane"

  The word "REQUEST" makes it easy for others to see that you're requesting
  a tab file, and by including the title of the song on the subject line,
  you make it easier for others who are interested in the same song to see
  if the tab gets posted.

  If you *have* the song being requested, change the REQUEST to TAB when
  you *followup* the article.

~Subject: + 13. How do I submit tab to the tab server?
~From: Source-9

  You can submit tab for the tab server by either posting it to
  alt.guitar.tab (please start the subject line with "TAB:") or by
  sending the tab to [e-mail].  Please include at *least*
  the following information:

    the name of the file that you left in the incoming directory
    what artist recorded the song
    the name of the song
    what format the file is in (tab, chord, chordpro, etc)

~Subject: + 14. Who maintains the tab server?
~From: Source-10

  James Bender ([e-mail]) is the maintainer of the guitar tab
  ftp site.

~Subject: + What magazines use tab?
~From: Source-11

  Most guitar magazines include tab.  Among those that I have are:

    Guitar For the Practicing Musician
    Guitar Player
    Guitar School
    Guitar World
    Young Guitar (Japanese)

~Subject: + What books use tab?
~From: Source-12

  many, check a music store

~Subject: + Which of these books is recommended for a beginner?
~From: Source-13

 [e-mail] suggests: '"The Guitar Handbook" by Ralph Denyer.  It
 is published by Knopf.  When I used to give lessons, I took stuff straight
 out of the book.'

~Subject: + Which of these books is recommended for an advanced player?
~From: Source-14

 [e-mail] suggests: '"The Jazz Language" by Dan Haerle.  Published
 by studio.  This is a popular book, and should be easy to find.  Don't let
 the title scare you, it doesn't just teach jazz, it teaches theory.  A very
 good source.'

~Subject: + Where do I find the lyrics for this song?
~From: Lyrics-15

  The easiest place to look is in the CD jacket to the album.  Most albums
  come with lyrics.  If that doesn't work (for whatever reason), you can
  find lyrics through fan clubs, rock magazines, guitar magazines, and
  by listening carefully to the song.

  Some argue that the easiest way to get lyrics is off of the net.  Before
  you post to the net, check the Internet anonymous ftp lyric site,
  ftp.uwp.edu (which has lyrics to hundreds of songs).  These lyrics are
  submitted by fans who occasionally mistype the lyrics, so caution should
  be used.  If you *don't* check here first, expect flames.

  An explanation of how to use ftp is included below (Files-15).

~Subject: + How do I submit lyrics to the lyric server?
~From: Lyrics-16

  You can submit lyrics to the lyrics server by either ftp (put the new lyrics
  into the /pub/incoming directory) or by emailing the lyrics to the lyric
  server maintainer.

  If you leave a file at ftp.uwp.edu:/pub/incoming, please email Dave Datta
  ([e-mail]) and tell him the following information:

    the name of the file that you left in the incoming directory
    the artist
    the title of the song/album

  He will put the song in a directory based on artist, so it's important that
  you use the correct name of the band.

~Subject: + Who maintains the lyric server?
~From: Lyrics-17

  At this time Dave Datta ([e-mail]) is the maintainer of the lyric
  server.

~Subject: + 18. What kinds of music software are out there?
~From: Software-18

  There are all kinds of programs out there, from programs that will
  play sounds out of a computer's speaker, to software that will let
  you typeset your latest masterwork.

  Some of the related groups (comp.music, rec.music.makers) talk
  extensively about various kinds of music software.
