reosarevok: WP uses $Key Mixolydian.

That'll do then :p

(ugh, caps :p )

reosarevok: Funny thing is, WP is using "$Key minor" and "$Key major"...

Well, yeah, I think it's because Dorian or Lydian are like English or French

I mean, they're groups of people after all

Possibly.

FWIW, thesession.org does "$Key$mode".

(E.g., "Amixolydian".)

reosarevok: all keys (sharps/flats included) are available in all modes in theory, but they are not necessarily used in practice.

As for capitalization, I don't bother, as long as there is some consistency: at least, [Dd]orian and [Mm]ixolydian should have the same capitalization as they both are modes of the same family.

For example, I know many people who capitalizes 'Major' and not 'minor' to distinguish more easily, but they don't use other modes.

ybsar: "all keys (sharps/flats included) are available in all modes" - I've argued this before, but as it is now, we're adding key/modes on an "as needed" basis.

ybsar: @seeAlso: https://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/STYLE-495

Freso: I was answering "Plus wouldn't we still need a list of what combinations are acceptable for each mode?" This should not be a stopper into separating keys from modes.

But I am okay with the current list of keys/modes for now, since it fits the needs. :)

No critical errors on a Sunday evening?

Freso: that could be possible to fix with that you can't sing up as a name that exists (unless it's you)

or that we could store "alternate name variables" so that "catcat", "catquest" and "CatQuest, the Endeavouring Cat!" are all variables, like "freso" or "Fredric Olesen" are variables etc etc

alternate names

..

…

can you tell I'm trying very hard not to say "username aliases" or "user credits"? :P

but yea. people do not always have One Canonical Name™

no, I just wanted to provide the fontographologically correct unicode letter

uh oh Leo_Verto i didn't se you there

also ... is neither *a* letter nor a *letter* but punctiuation

probably this is a concept misunderstanding, but I have never understood why ... should be made into one glyph and take a the space of one glyph when it's clearly three dots

it serves so little adaptation too, if you want just two or four dots. what then?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

CatQuest: if you want two dots, there is "‥" ::)

To use, create database "bookbrainz", then "sudo -u postgres pg_restore -d bookbrainz ~/2016-05-30_dump"

(blank database - if not blank, add a -c to clean while restoring)

The dump is sanitised, so all passwords are set to 'bb'
