PianoTell Recital #1 Meta Feedback

BicBic

Woo hoo! i'm excited, thanks for organizing this first one!

Heads-up, I might be shifting things around on PianoTell just so that I don't have to do everything last minute tomorrow when publishing the recital.

PianoTell Recital #1 is now live!

Please comment on the performances directly on the recital thread.

Meta feedback on the recitals can be shared here if desired.

navindra Hi Navindra,
First off, thank you for all your hard work, putting this recital together.
My submission, although it still shows up, has the heading: [deleted]
I don't know why that happened?

Here is my plan, subject to change as I proceed, to listen and comment on the overlapping concurrent recitals here and on PW. I'm going to listen and comment on PianoTell first. Then I'm going to listen and comment on PW to the pieces that aren't duplicated in PianoTell. This means I won't comment in the PW recital on a piece that's included in the PianoTell recital. I'm trying to avoid having parallel comment threads for the same piece in both places 🙂

I'm looking forward to hearing your great playing! Thanks for setting up this recital @navindra!

Oops, I should have posted this here and not in the recital!

twocats @navindra unfortunately the table of contents doesn't work for me-- I suspect the forum software only looks backwards within a post? (Edit: up until TC3's link it does work but then the later ones don't! Wondering if anyone else experiences the same?) I think hyperlinks to each of the submissions would be a better option. I know you're super busy so if you want help to do this, please let me know. Thank you for all the hard work you've put into PT and the recital!

In fact, I broke PT today by messing around too much with the posts for the recital this morning. Sandra was the first to notice and you were next. Whatever I did caused some users not to be able to post and also caused the index malfunctions.

Btw, the idea to use hyperlinks is much better. It did occur to me later but I ran out of time. The problem with doing replies is that it shows up as a reply on each performance. That's why I also changed the first post to the internal PianoTell account instead of my own... but that goes against my goal that any RC should be able to run the recital with no special accounts.

All fixed now hopefully!

Here's the glorious new index:

I also didn’t realize there was a separate thread for this. Here’s my post on using the index:

I thought the index wasn’t working to redirect me to performance posts, but I just didn’t know how to use it. I accidentally figured it out. You have to hover over the name of the performer. A pop up box then appears with a bunch of details, and then you have to click on the text in the popup box.

navindra I also noticed some indexing issues in my recent notifications on the recital thread but it all looks good now!

It was a great idea for you to run the first recital and iron out any issues. Hopefully it wasn't too bad. So the big question is: when will the next recital be? 😉

WieWaldi

navindra Btw, the idea to use hyperlinks is much better.

Actually I prefer the way with replies, because you get noticed if someone writes something about your submission. I mean if someone writes something about yor submission a few weeks later, after the recital happening, the comment is likely to be missed.
After reading some of the other comments in the recital thread, I think the best way would be to prepare a kind of a response template to make it look as some members like rogerch, rsl12 or Sgisela did:

@"performer"#postnumber - **title**
<todo>
@"performer"#postnumber - **title**
<todo>
...

Not sure is the counting number is a must-have as the submissions don't have a number as well. And I don't know if there is an easy way for a moderator to "patch" all submissions before going live. If it is made manually, it is time consuming AND error prone. And it can even screw up something...

Edit: sorry navindra, I misread your post. I thought it was meant as a reply template for commenters.
Still - a copy&paste reply template would be handy nevertheless.

twocats I also noticed some indexing issues in my recent notifications on the recital thread but it all looks good now!

What did you notice out of curiosity?

twocats when will the next recital be?

😃😅

twocats

navindra What did you notice out of curiosity?

Someone either liked or replied to my submission but when I accidentally clicked on it while trying to clear the notification, it went to someone else's submission instead. I didn't look at all of the notifications again but I clicked on one where I think it had the issue and it now goes to my post as expected.

navindra

twocats Yeah, that's indeed what was broken here.

rsl12

One thing I like about this format compared to PW is that commenting is MUCH easier! You can watch the video, get all the information, and your message editing window will stay with you as you scroll to other posts. It's a shame there isn't a playlist or an archive, but this format has big advantages.

navindra

Rob Did you try reloading the page? It’s currently looking fine for me, but this glitch has been reported before. A reload/refresh should make it go away.

Rob navindra Hi Navindra,

I think this isn't related to the recitals, but it actually has something to do with the notifications, I see it sometimes in other posts I've written.
Try refreshing your browser and see if the "deleted" goes away, and let us know!

twocats

WieWaldi Still - a copy&paste reply template would be handy nevertheless.

He already has both! The first list is the links to the performances. The second list is a template to copy to reply to those performances 🙂

WieWaldi

twocats Oops - somehow I missed that. But yes, after a short search at the obvious place I found it. It was just burried in a collapsible section.
Thank you for pointing it out.

rogerch

@navindra Thanks for running the inaugural PianoTell recital!

I participated in both the PW and PT recitals, and it was awkward. I and many others submitted the same piece to both. I wrote comments for all the recital pieces on PT. On PW I wrote comments for pieces that weren't on PT. I prioritized PT so I didn't get to PW for a couple of days, after I was done with PT.

I would prefer to have PW and PT recitals be at different times. I suggest having PT recitals in the months that PW does not have them: March, June, September, and December. This gives someone participating in both forums 12 recital opportunities per year, none of them overlapping.

Thanks again for PianoTell and the great recital and I look forward to the next one, whether it overlaps or not!

I second this. And he came up with the exactly same dates as me because it seems obvious.

Only difference to Roger: I didn't feel the double submits to both forums to be that awkward at all...

Do we want to same have same or different dates than PianoWorld?

(👆this is the next question to be answered)
