==Introduction==
==Introduction==
The new, automated add score process, introduced in October 2013, is intended to simplify the process of adding a new score edition to ChoralWiki, especially for those users who are unfamiliar with adding and editing wiki code inside composer and work pages. Using this process, the composer and the work pages are automatically created or updated, without the user being required to do it manually.

If the composer name does not appear on the list at [[:Category:Composers]], go to any existing composer page and click on the "Add new work" tab on the top-right part of the page. Then, in the "Add new work" form that opens, manually replace "Composer name" and "Composer's time period" with the name and time period of the new composer: the new composer page will automatically be created.  Then go to step 2.

==Step 2: Adding a new work==
==Step 2: completing the "Add new work" form==


Fill in the other fields of the form down to the "Files Section" (excluded) with the relevant information. See the [[Help:Score_submission_guide#Adding_new_edition_information|Score submission guide - Adding new edition information]] for details. Then go to step 3.
Depending on Step 1, some information on the form will already be filled in. Fill in the other fields with the relevant information (there are some explanations at the old help page, [[Help:Score_submission_guide#Adding_new_edition_information|Score submission guide - Adding new edition information]]). When done with general information about the work, go to step 3.


==Step 3: Uploading files or entering links to externally hosted files==
===Step 3: The files section===
If you wish your files (pdf, midi, mp3, etc.) to be stored on the CPDL servers, you will need to upload them. Click on the "Upload now" buttons present on the "Add new work" form. This will open a file upload window that you can use to upload files. See [[Help:Score_submission_guide#Uploading_files|Score submission guide - Uploading files]] for details. The system will try to automatically detect the file types and fill in the appropriate fields of the "Add new work" form accordingly. Please check the data entered, and update them if necessary. You can close the file upload window(s) after all files are uploaded.
Follow the prompt: "Click here to open a new window and upload files now." This will open a new file upload window that you can use to upload files ([[Help:Score_submission_guide#Uploading_files|Score submission guide - Uploading files]] is still up to date). The system will try to automatically detect the file types and fill in the appropriate fields of the "Add new work" form accordingly. Please check the data added to the the "Add new work" form, and update them if necessary. You can close the file upload window(s) after all files are uploaded.


If your files are already stored on external servers, we recommend that you upload them to CPDL anyway, in order to avoid eventual broken links. But if you prefer not to, then please enter the relevant links (full URL beginning with ''http://'') and the applicable details (file type, size, page size, number of pages, etc.) because the system cannot automatically detect such information on externally stored files.

If you are more familiar with the traditional process and you don't want that the work page and/or the composer page are updated automatically, please select the checkbox "Do not automatically add wiki code to the pages, I will do it manually" at the bottom of the form. You will receive by email the wiki code fragments that would have been normally sent to you if you followed the traditional process. You will have to manually copy-and-paste the wiki code fragments on the work page, and also on the composer page if the composer page is not automated already.

If you selected the checkbox "Do not automatically add wiki code to the pages, I will do it manually" you will be also returned to the composer page, so that you can amend it using the wiki code fragments sent to you via email. The email with the wiki fragments will be sent to you in all cases, also if you did not select the checkbox "Do not automatically add wiki code to the pages, I will do it manually", for your records.
