It's a hyperlink. They turn into the hyperlink type of blue automatically. Okay sorry. How do you indicate chest notes? "Chest notes" and such are just black with no code attached most of the time. If you want hyperlinked notes to show up black, you just put font color=black after the link code like this: [a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxFOQVsE2Oo&t=37"][font color="black"]Largo Al Factotum[/font][/a]They will still be clickable and hyperlinked to the YouTube video after you do this. |

People can do threads on whatever singers they want. If they have any trouble, surely we can help without being pretentious about it. I don’t really see anything pretentious there. Just saying the simple truth. Threads tend to be very annoying to do early on especially in regards to the formatting and the structure. Opera notewatching is not user-friendly at all which is why a couple people who tried in the past gave up. In any case, there is several sites that offer a detail listing of 78s for Shellac era classical singers, including a resource that is my favourite. Robert Johannesson’s PDFs which you should be able to find by searching it online offer a detailed (like genuinely maybe 5000 pages or so) list of all or most recordings of opera singers 1880-1930s that were released or recorded on Shellac. |

I would honestly highly discourage taking on opera singers as first threads. You have full operas which you must go through with the score if you want to be accurate. Tons of live and studio material usually. It's a process that even experienced notewatchers usually hate. Threads on opera singers unless very early with few singles take forever. I've been working on some of them for years. Moreover some of these notes are off. That's an A-flat on the top, not A for example. I'm still in the process of a thread on Granforte as I was working on it myself, but I am sure he's got a note or two below that B-flat. He did record Un ballo in maschera aria which has a low A although have not checked if he did it but most likely. Well I appreciate your honesty and that you were polite about it, unlike some other random internet users who might show up on occasion and get aggressive for no good reason. And anyone can edit this if they want to including you (even though you already had a thread on Apollo Granforte started but didn't post it). And you're right about the note on top being inaccurate, I just changed it. |

Well, if the OP does give up you can be all over Granforte as much as you want. wbradycall got to this one first, though, so we'll have to be patient and help them build the thread. Who knows, they might even stick around to make another one. My warning was not to do with my thread or some form of 'jealousy' as your reply seems to insinuate. It was simply to do with the reality of things in regards to operatic singers and threads concerning them. I am speaking from experience.

And anyone can edit this if they want to including you (even though you already had a thread on Apollo Granforte started but didn't post it). And you're right about the note on top being inaccurate, I just changed it. Make sure to remember a few things: - Make sure to use the correct sharp and flat symbols. Not # and a lower-case b. The key of the song is unimportant in a thread but you should still use the correct symbol.
- Make sure to use the "" format for the song titles and make sure to order them in the alphabetical order
- We tend to follow a different capitalisation for songs that are in languages like Italian. For example "Si può? Si può?" instead of Si Puo. Notice the ò as well. Reading through the score might help with that. And might (well, it will) help and prevent from misidentifying pitches as you go through full operas in particular. But you could find scores for specific arias as well.
- Formatting - make sure to underline things like Significant High Notes: and add a legend underneath the thread. Honestly, just take a look at some threads and follow the format. You'll get it with time.
Also I believe he does actually have an A4, although not sure where. People have always spoken about it.
Here's a post from another user some time ago under another opera thread which is not very relevant on many points but still might serve as useful information: A nice start on Caballe's thread (Considering how difficult it is to make a thread on an Opera singer) however, there were a few things I wanted to point out (Hopefully, it doesn't sound as rude): 1) I had already claimed Montserrat Caballe's thread and I will be posting my thread when I have covered her discography, so please do check up the claimed singers before putting the effort into making threads. 2) I don't understand why several pieces are just named by the Opera's title? Not only does it not provide us with the specific piece where the singer executed the note, but also, Several Composers have operas with the same titles which just increases the confusion. Donizetti's Anna Bolena for example has at least 62 pieces, and while notewatching we must write notes for all pieces the singer sings in. Writing 6 notes from a 2-hour opera is not justifiable. 3) The use of blue notes for a classical singer where the repertoire is sung in head voice (at least the section documented in a thread) is not necessary. 4) I have also noticed certain mislabelled pitches in the thread. It could be because of the fact that most opera videos that are uploaded to Youtube undergo pitch shifts so try to match notes with either a sheet or the key of the piece. 5) There are quite a few formatting issues that I'm sure you'll improve with time! (Including a typo of her name) 6) Adding a Discography Section to threads usually helps to navigate threads and to refer notes, so that'd be amazing if you could add that. You can check out the other Opera singer threads we have on this platform, I'm sure they'll be of great use!! |

But don't worry you didn't do anything wrong. |

Who knows, they might even stick around to make another one. Is my thread allowing others to edit it? I admit that I'm not always in the mood for doing vocal range stuff so I want the help of others. |

Any moderator can edit your thread. So how this would work is that if a member finds some notes for this thread, they can post those in the replies and either you or a moderator can edit those notes in. And I mean, no worries if you're not always in the mood for notewatching stuff. These WIP threads don't have a deadline or anything; you can take your time. Alright thanks! Where do we find claimed singers? |
