There are several errors in the rhythm in the current version of the score in the article:

Current version

I think the following things are wrong:

• The initial pick-up note on "Mine" should be a semi-quaver (sixteenth note).
• The rhythm for "eyes have" should be dotted (i.e. long/short).
• Rhythm for "he is" should be dotted, without an explicit rest.
• The notes on "vintage" should be long/short, as elsewhere.
• It is conventional to put a bar-line at the end.

This is supported by this version, although it has different pitches.

This gives the following version, which I will put in the article.

New version

I am also dubious about the pitches of some of the notes. However, there are probably several versions with minor differences. This version is not obviously wrong, so I won't change it without a good source. Ideally we should use a version from an old (out of copyright) hymn book, which we should cite. Verbcatcher (talk) 02:46, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

However, this sounds very jerky. I think that most singers would sing with triplets (making the short notes slightly longer), or in compound metre, as follows:

6:8 rhythm

Should we give this version instead?

Frank Roper OBE, (1914-2000) was a British sculptor and stained-glass artist, best known for religious work in cathedrals and churches, particularly in south Wales.

Frank Roper was born on 12 December 1914 in Haworth, Yorkshire where his grandfather was a stone carver.^[1]

Roper studied at Keithley School of Art and at the Royal College of Art where he was a student of Henry Moore.^[2]

During the second world war Roper worked on the design of tanks and minesweepers.^[1]

After teaching appointments at Lincoln School of Art and Sheffield School of Art, Roper was appointed vice-principal at Cardiff School of Art in 1947. Roper thought of teaching as a "temporary measure", but remained at Cardiff School of Art until retirement from teaching in 1973.

Roper met his wife and artistic collaborator Nora Ellison (d. 1999) while a student at Keithley Art School, after which they went together to the Royal College of Art.^[1] They had two daughters, Penny and Rachel.^[1]

Roper died in 3 December 2000. He and his wife are buried at Lavernock church, with matching memorials of his own design.

Roper is known for the technique of lost-polystrene casting, which he invented and for which he established a foundry at his home in Penarth.^[1] In this technique, derived from lost-wax casting, Roper made a sacrificial model of the sculpture in polystyrene foam. The model was buried in casting sand into which molten aluminium was poured, vaporising the polystyrene.

Roper is also known for his architectural stained glass, on which he collaborated with his wife Nora.^[1]

Alexander Roos (c. 1810–1881}} was an Italian-born British architect and urban planner. He was the architect to the Bute Estates in South Wales, for which he designed many buildings and laid out much of Cardiff.^[7]

Alexander Roos was born in Rome in about 1810, apparently the son of Karl Roos (1776–1836), a German cabinet maker based in Rome. Roos studied architecture with Karl Friedrich Schinkel in Berlin.^[8]

In or before 1835 Roos made decorations for Hadzor House, Worcestershire, England, based on designs from Pompeii, where he had previously made drawings. This work led to two major commissions at Deepdene House in Surrey for Henry Thomas Hope, and at Bedgebury House, Kent for General William Beresford. This led to a successful architectural career in Britain.^[8]

In the 1840s Roos had an extensive architectural practice in Scotland.

In 1845 the wealthy industrialist John Crichton-Stuart, Second Marquess of Bute appointed Roos as architect for his extensive estates in South Wales. Roos laid out much of Cardiff, which was expanding rapidly at the time, and designed several buildings in Cardiff. When John Crichton-Stuart died in 1848 Roos became one of the two trustees managing the Bute estate on behalf of the infant John Crichton-Stuart, Third Marquess of Bute. Roos was dismissed when the third marquess came of age in 1868. It appears that Roos then retired from architecture.^[8]

From Wikipedia:Help desk/Archives/2017 July 1#Commas in image file namesIs comma (',') a valid character in a Commons filename?

I am having problems with several images recently uploaded to Commons by Jason.nlw, and I suspect that these are caused by commas in the file names. Jason.nlw has uploaded about 500 jpg images of album covers which have recently been released by a record company, for example c:File:Bois y Fro, album cover.jpg.

The problem I am getting is that when I add one of these images to an article it is not displayed, I get a white rectangle with a picture icon in the corner. Dennis O'Neill (tenor) is an example.

I have made a page at User:Verbcatcher/comma that includes all the album covers that Jason.nlw recently uploaded. With the latest Chrome browser on two computers almost all of the images whose file names contain commas do not display. All the images without commas display correctly.

After some investigation I am attributing this to an incompatibility between the latest Chrome browser for Windows 10 and Wikipedia pages that contain images with a comma in the file name. The images display correctly on Commons. An older version of Chrome works, and the Microsoft Edge and IE browsers work. I have tried clearing Chrome's cached images, cookies and browsing history.

Is there a known problem with commas in file names? c:Commons:File renaming does not specify any invalid characters in file names, although c:Template:Rename says that '/' is invalid.

When I display Dennis O'Neill (tenor), my Chrome console shows the following error:

Dennis_O'Neill_(tenor):48 GET https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/91/Caro_Mio_Ben%2C_album_cover.jpg/220px-Caro_Mio_Ben%2C_album_cover.jpg net::ERR_RESPONSE_HEADERS_MULTIPLE_CONTENT_DISPOSITION

I searched for the error on the web. A contributor on this page commented "I have also found that comma in the filename will give that error (in Chrome only)." Another user responded that the issue could be resolved if you "quote the filename". This suggests a problem with the code generated by Wikipedia that should be raised with Wikipedia software engineering. What is the procedure for this? Verbcatcher (talk) 23:18, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

I just checked with Chrome Version 59.0.3071.115 (Official Build) (64-bit) on Windows 10 and there is not a problem with User:Verbcatcher/comma or Dennis O'Neill (tenor). You might want to take this to Wikipedia:Village pump (technical) and see if they can help. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 07:38, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

Hello everyone. Please ping me of this problem persists and i will try and arrange for the file names to be changed, as we obviously want people to be able to make the most of this new content. Cheers Jason.nlw (talk) 09:04, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

@CambridgeBayWeather: Thanks for checking. I am using the same software versions as you. The problem has now gone away on both the computers where I observed it. However, I was not imagining the problem. I saved the non-working generated html for Dennis O'Neill (tenor): comparing this with today's working version, the comma in the jpg file name is now converted to %2C (the ASCII hex code for a comma). This change could be caused by a new release of Wikipedia systems software. I will watch for the problem reoccurring and raise it on Wikipedia:Village pump (technical) if I see it again. My motivation is to help fix problems in Wikipedia software, not my personal convenience. Thanks for your help.

@Jason.nlw:, as I have said, the problem has gone away, but I suspect that it could reappear. I suggest you do nothing about changing the existing file names, at least for now, but it may be a good idea to avoid commas in future file names. Thanks, Verbcatcher (talk) 21:51, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
