message: In the RENAISSANCE ERA list, the composer ANDREA GABRIELI (b 1532/33) should be translocated between ORLANDE deLASSUS (b 1530/32) and GIACHES deWERT (b 1535).
ANDREA GABRIELI, among the prominent founders of the Venetian School, was a contemporary and friend of deLASSUS, who in the present list appears 20 years after ANDREA GABRIELI.  Antoniouwik (talk) 11:05, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you mean the Renaissance composers timeline displayed here. Andrea Gabrieli's dates and position are now amended. (RT) (talk) 17:52, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

text: Yes, I'm familiar with a number of recordings. Bertali is in the much longer List of Baroque composers (see the middle section)this list links there. I believe there is a technical limit how many names can be included in a single timeline but it is certainly possible to add to any of them. (RT) (talk) 19:41, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

message: How exactly is one supposed to edit this page? Anyway, "Antonin Dvorák" should be replaced with "Antonín Dvořák". Toccata quarta (talk) 20:10, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Each of the timelines are embedded templatespresumably as, in some cases, they are used in more than one article. I have now edited Template:Timeline Classical Composers Romanticism Late to correct Antonín Dvořák. You might find Help:EasyTimeline syntax useful if you want to make substantive changes.

text: Fixed (I fixed the link in the template).  Thank you for pointing it out. Antandrus  (talk) 17:39, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

message: Is Georges Bizet not important enough to get into the list? I really don't think so. Other composers like Fučík, Porumbescu, Michna etc. are also left out. --Highschoolpuppettier (talk) 12:12, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Bizet should probably be included, but I don't think the other composers are significant enough. --Toccata quarta (talk) 13:17, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

message: I don't know if there's a way to easily make this searchable without drastically altering its structure, but ctrl+f doesn't search the composer names.  Jacq 06:46, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree that making the "graphs"/lists searchable would be an improvement, if keeping (or improving, although that's subjective) the current visual layout. I don't know whether that is possible though, sorry. --Treetear (talk) 21:32, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

text: Me too.  You provide a list of composers, but then you can't search the list for a particular composer.  So, let's start at the beginning of the list and slowly work our way down...Nei1 (talk) 16:36, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  This list is not searchable. 

message: The template for "Lists of classical music composers by eras" that appears at the upper right of this article/list is partly out of date.  Lists now exist for composers of the Modernist and Postmodern eras, and these need to be added to the template.  The 20th and 21st centuries don't really belong on this list as currently titled, but can be retained along with Modernist and Postmodern if the title is modified to read "Lists of classical music composers by eras and centuries".  I would update the template myself if the customary V.T.E. buttons were at the bottom, but they are missing and I know of no other way to do the edit.  Maybe some editor or administrator is trying to protect the template from being updated even by registered users like myself. ~ChrisCarss Former24.108.99.31 (talk) 09:03, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Outdated template 

message: I attempted to add Wanhal to the Classical era template, but merely broke it and so had to revert. I don't know what went wrong; the reported error was in a section of the file which I hadn't touched. (If that edit had been successful, I was also planning to add Vieuxtemps, Balakirev, Bruch, Massenet, Moszkowski, Chaminade, Vierne, Reger, Dohnányi, and Myaskovsky to their respective periods. But now I don't dare.) JBritnell (talk) 04:03, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
