JPEGs. Hang on a minute.

I click on the icon for inserting images, get a dialogue box inviting me to choose and upload an image, I do so, after a few seconds I get a message box saying "Invalid File".

Make sure the box labelled "Retrieve remote file and reference locally" is un-ticked.

That’s great JK!

Thanks.

Thanks! But "Retrieve remote file and reference locally" only applies when loading an image via a URL. I was trying to upload from my computer. I just tried this again and got the same response - "invalid file".

I think you need to put images on another hosting site rather than upload them directly?

The initial dialogue box seems to give the choice of uploading from one's own machine OR putting them on a hosting site and giving a URL.

This site is set up so you can't upload - database size considerations. I'm afraid only URL-based images are allowed (although for some reason it doesn't tell you that).

Now that at last is clear to me, thanks again!

A colleague has transcribed Tallis’s 40 part motet Spem In Alium. I saw a film of this and it worked very well. I’m now in the closing stages of my current project, which just happens to be another classic in the Renaissance Period, Allegri’s famous Miserere. A few people are interested in this one too.

[Richard Barrett]

Let's see if this works.

... I guess that's a "no".

The Tallis did, actually.

[Richard Barrett]

I think I may have managed it! (BBM, my previous posts had nothing to do with your mention of Tallis.)

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

Currently practising the piano part for Elgar's Violin Sonata. Wonderful, powerful music, but the piano writing seems a little ... well, clumsy.

I've changed my mind. This is the best "piano music" Elgar ever wrote. Much better than the Concert Allegro, Piano Concerto sketches and the miniatures. The violin part is superb, but with Elgar, that almost goes without saying.
