Incipits are one of the primary features of pipe-organ.wiki. The thematic index of works by organ composers (as opposed to a list of titles) can be a valuable reference to organists. Please note the following style guide so that incipits can be a useful as possible without taking up too much space.

Introduction

General rules

The following is a general guide for how to enter incipits. For now, it is very basic.

  • Please make the incipit short, only one or two measures max.
  • Please limit the incipit to ONE STAFF if at all possible (even if some notes can't be shown).
  • You DO NOT have to put all the notes in the incipit, just enough that you would recognize the piece (and that it is differentiable from others)
