Image description-initial log

[edit]

I've created this Epitaph of Seikilos score&lyrics image file using this image-score and by reading the relevant books mentioned in the Seikilos epitaph article, trying to make sense where to place the lyrics.I don't know whether what I've done is corrected, i.e. whether I've placed the lyrics under the correct notes etc.I'm uploading this temporarily using a very limited licence;after checking with other users about its validity, users who've studied music, this will change provided of course that what I've done is correct; I'll tranform it to a cc license.Otherwise I'll get it deleted(the same will happen if this image is for whatever reason not useful;e.g. not readable).
Update 1:After a discussion I've had with a very helpful expert (thank you Jerome Kohl!), I think this is now good to go, therefore as said I'm changing the permission to cc-0, and I'll be probably moving this text from the summary and into the file's talk page and replacing it with a formal-normal description-summary sometime in the near future.
Some issue(s) to be dealt with in the near hopefully future:
the last version I've uploaded,i.e. that of 10:52, 12 May 2013, syllabises esti as e-sti as per common, prevailing, relevant rules of Greek.But this might not be the case(see aforementioned talk page), so I might have to change this again back to es-ti.
Update 2:changed image description moving the above text here.
Update 3:As per this es-ti seems to be the correct form, so I've uploaded a new version.It seems we're done for now... Thanatos|talk 03:29, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
