File Naming
Characters used in unix commands are not kept in filenames. Hence
no file should include ' " | : \ / and so on. Dashes - take the
place of most of these.
Some existing files have '2' appended to the name, before the
extension. These are gradually being eliminated, in favour of
concatenating multiple versions of songs in single files. Similarly
no distinction is made between studio/live/acoustic/later/etc versions
Directory Naming
Omits any preceding {the} to the best of the arachivists knowledge,
though she is not a linguist. Other words such as 'these' 'those'
and so on, are retained.
The only exception to the {the} removal is ./t/the_the
File and Directory Naming
Names with full stops (periods) have those stops omitted. Where
the name when special characters are removed is a string of letters,
no underscore is used (e.g. rem for R.E.M.)
Where the name is a string of letters standing as an abbreviation
of full words, underscores are used (e.g. p_i_l for Public Image
Limited)
Submissions
Currently, files are submitted either by email to guitar@nevada.edu and
by ftp upload to the pub/guitar/incoming directory at ftp.nevada.edu
Files must be in plain-text, though can be uuencoded, gzipped, tarred
or be pine readable.
Files must be submitted individually, except when tarred.
Faulty submissions will be returned, where this is possible. Files
not in plain text that are uncompressable will be trashed without
notification, since the header is removed before decompessing/decoding.
People sending 'upload' messages claiming upload but with no song
apparent in ./incoming are usually not notified.
Files that duplicate existing files will be trashed without notice.
The distinction between crd and tab is not well-defined. Tablature is
a system of representation, whereas the distinction between crd and tab
has more to do with the nature of the contents - chords can be written
in tablature notation, but will still be called crd files. As a rule
of thumb, the tab extention usually indicates that some soloing
information is included.
