HOW TO SUBMIT FILES TO OLGA (THE ON-LINE GUITAR ARCHIVE)
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

OLGA, the On-Line Guitar Archive, is a natural development of
the guitar.tab newsgroups. The Archive provides a library of files that
is more permanent than usenet and is easily accessible, and attempts to
prevent repetition of work already done by the community.

If you can educate others in how to play a song, type up
the chords and/or tab and/or playing tip and send it to both the
newsgroups *AND* the archive, and contribute to the community.

OLGA is particularly looking to develop the weaker areas, such as bass tab,
acoustic and classical pieces, country, blues and jazz.

OLGA is particularly looking to develop the weaker areas, such as bass tab,
acoustic and classical pieces, country, blues and jazz.

Step 1. Preparing your file
Step 2. Sending us your file.
Step 3. Acceptance criteria.
Step 4. Your file at OLGA



Step 1: Before you submit, make sure of the following:
Final a) That you have included the song name, artist's name
Preparations and your own name (and if different, the transciber's name)

b) If you can, include other information such as the name
of the album from which the track comes, the name of the
author(s) of the words and music, details of the publisher
and catalogue number, and notes on what effects are used
and on how to play the music. It is also extremely useful
to mention if your file is a special version of the song,
such as from a live show or an acoustic recording.

c) Make sure that the file is 'all your own work'. If you
take your crd/tab from a book or magazine that is copyrighted
it won't (knowingly) be archived.

* d) Check the archive to ensure that you are not
duplicating material already there. If there is
already a version of a song, YOUR SUBMISSION WILL
BE SENT BACK TO YOU, and will not be accepted until the
file contains some note recognizing the presence of the
existing file and saying how the two versions compare,
and possibly instructions to the archivist. If a chord or
tab file already exists for the song, take it down
and incorporate your material with it.
Try to contact the original author to come to an agreement.
Always credit the original author and mention what each of
you has done.

* e) Files must be written in (or saved as) plain-text. It's not
hard to save your work as plain text, so we will return any
Word 'doc' files or Wordperfect 'wps' (etc) files that you
send us.

When writing in a word processor (word, macwrite, notepad,
etc) you should:
use courier font (or some other monospaced font)
limit the width of the page to 75 characters
save the file as text before sending
(When writing in any *text* editor (e.g. emacs, vi, ed,
pico) you will naturally have to do all these things.)


Step 2: Use Email
Submitting Use a subject line of the same form as you post
to news, i.e. TAB: 'songname' by 'artistname' (See Step 3)

Files must be sent individually (that is, don't
send two files in one post, though tar files are acceptable.
Z and gzip compression are acceptable.)

Send bass tab files to bass@olga.net
Send all other files to guitar@olga.net

Step 3:
Acceptance of your file has three steps:
1. Successful receipt at olga.net
2. Check for valid file type, format, brevity, etc.
3. Check for duplication.

3.1. The subject line of your submission MUST start with
one of the prefixes listed below (three/four letters and a colon).
We appreciate it if you then can give the song name and artist name.

Examples of good subject lines (in order of preference):
Subject: CRD: r/reed_lou/hello_its_me.crd
Subject: CRD: hello_its_me.crd by Lou Reed/John Cale
Subject: TAB: hello its me by Lou Reed/John Cale
Subject: PRO: 'Hello It's Me' (Lou Reed/John Cale)

List of Prefixes:
CRD: - When you are sending a chord file
TAB: - When you are sending a tablature file
BTAB: - When you are sending a bass tab file
PRO: - When you are sending a Chordpro file
LYR: - When you are sending a lyrics file

Step 3.2, 3.3:
Here are (some of) the criteria for acceptance, and what you should do
if you file fails these criteria. If your file fails any of these, it
will be sent back to you, within a week, with a request that it be fixed.

The file includes the song name, artist's name, the transcriber's
name, and, if different, the submittor's name.

The file is 'all your own work'. If you use material from a book or
magazine, it won't (knowingly) be archived.

The file is substantially complete. Examples of insufficient detail
are: single line of tab; files without lyrics; verse but no chorus.
You should always make the form of the song clear, particularly if
there's a solo or bridge (for example) that you can't work out - lable
the various parts (intro, verse, chorus, bridge, etc) and give their
order.

The file is not readable, due to unknown encoding when sending, or
because the file itself is not plain text.
Again: When writing a file, we advise using courier font in 10 pt
size. Restrict the page to a width of 75 characters and be sure the
lines don't run over. Save as text before sending. Do NOT send
us .doc (microsoft), .wps (word perfect) files, etc. that have not

been saved as text.
When sending, try to 'insert' the file into your message, rather than
'attaching' it. We can read some attachment encodings, but not all.

If a file for the song already exists:
you should get the existing version from the archive,
(go to http://www.olga.net and follow the instructions)
and integrate the two, in as far as this is possible.
(If the recordings on which the crd/tab are based are
different, this may not be possible. They may, for example,
be in different keys, or have different choruses, or be
special live or acoustic versions.)
If your file is for the same recording as the file already
existing, try to contact the original author to come to an
agreement. Always credit the original author and mention what
each of you has done. If you can't contact the author, try to
send a single file (your file and theirs integrated), giving your
alternative notation where necessary. If you are completely sure of
your work, you would not include the old file; if you are not
certain, give both alternatives in the single file.

When you resubmit your file:
add a note at the head, addressed to the archivist, giving
instructions. Example: "Archivist - This file includes the
already existing one for this song, but adds the solo - please
replace the old one with this. I have kept the original author's
name along with mine." or "Note to Archivist - The solo
in the existing file is quite wrong, so i inserted the correct tab.
A note at the top says I wrote the solo. Please replace the
old file with this one."

If your file meets the criteria for acceptance, it will be archived
within a week, and you should see it at the sites shortly after that.

Step 4:
Your file at OLGA:
Any file archived becomes the property of the archive in so
far as material extraneous to the musical content (basically
the header and .sig) may be removed or edited.

Posting to usenet or submission to the archive implicitly
gives permission for fair-use distribution.
The author's name and e-mail address will always be retained
if accompanying the file, along with any other information
the archivists deem relevant.

The archivists retain the right to modify or remove files as
they see fit.

In cases of duplication of a song, the archivists may remove
a transcription judged to be of inferior quality. As mentioned
above, submittors are expected to offer opinion as to the
quality of existing versions of files.

Requests to have files removed or modified should be made to
the archivists by e-mail to guitar@olga.net
