Composition Library now contains over 300 user‑created collections of methods and compositions. Many of these are extremely useful, but until now they were hard to discover unless you already knew they existed. And with more than 80,000 compositions in the database, browsing can sometimes feel overwhelming. To make exploration easier, there is now a curated Directory of Collections.

Collections are grouped by topic, so if you are currently interested in (for example) Surprise Minor touches, handbell compositions, or Stedman Triples, you can find all the relevant collections together.

For years I’ve heard the perfectly fair criticism that Complib didn’t provide enough help. Thanks to the sterling work of Pip Dillistone, that is no longer the case. The new help site can be accessed via ? buttons or the link at the bottom of every page. A few sections are still being completed, but there is already a great deal of clear, practical guidance available — especially for new users.

For full access to all the features of the site, you need to register — but it's free at https://complib.org/. Together these improvements should make Complib easier to learn and explore.
