Two years ago I composed a new orchestral score for Nosferatu, which has been performed live twice, a computer generated version is online, and it’s about to be performed live three more times.

Does this qualify for an IMDB listing and, if so, how does it get added?

Thanks

This credit is not eligible, sorry.  Please see https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/filmography-credits/i-worked-on-a-title-but-did-not-recei... and specifically:
We do not list these credits unless the person has received an on-screen credit for his work in the original version of the title.

If you have an IMDb name page already, you may list the work in your "Other Works" section, please see https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/names-biographical-data/biographical-data-guidelines/GMT9...

You may also add details of this new release of the film to its Alternate Versions section, noting your score and including a link to your name page if you have one, please also see https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/alternate-versions/GB7UDDKCAAVFXCXH

Fab, thank you. That is perfect. I just wondered if it was possible.

Just to clarify, credited versions are eligible, though? Because I think attributes for score of Bronenosets Potemkin (1927) by Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe need to be updated. There is indeed, a (very notable and known) version where they are credited, but so far they have an entry in their filmographies which predates their birthdays and there's not attribute to explain that.

Hi Robert -

To clarify here, this would be considered a "version" credit, though please note that we are not currently accepting these credit types.  I understand that you have provided new orchestral scores to several silent films, while you cannot list a credit for this work, you can alternatively add trivia items to these titles mentioned the new score version and release details.  Cheers!
