        ok, now you need to find something with a supersuperwork
      • 2008-02-20 05149, 2008

      • yllona
        xlo i can easily come up with more complex naming schemes than this... start with heitor vill-lobos and the Chôros
      • 2008-02-20 05157, 2008

      • brianfreud
        Supersuperwork: Superwork: work: container: movement (types+tempos) :D
      • 2008-02-20 05134, 2008

      • xlotlu
        that would actually make sense. as many colons as it takes...
      • 2008-02-20 05146, 2008

      • yllona
        you mean like like this?
      • 2008-02-20 05147, 2008

      • brianfreud
        actually, thinking about it a minute, isn't the Ring Cycle a superwork?
      • 2008-02-20 05150, 2008

      • yllona is listening to Sowande: African Suite (1944): I. Joyful Day (Allegro giocoso) - II. Nostalgia (Andante) - III. Lullaby (Andate cantabile e sostenuto) - IV.

      • xlotlu
        yup
      • 2008-02-20 05116, 2008

      • yllona
        heh, i have dozens if not hundreds of these, that's why i stopped doing CSG stuff, it doesn't work for my collection
      • 2008-02-20 05117, 2008

      • brianfreud
        lol, this is what I was referring to:
      • 2008-02-20 05123, 2008

      • brianfreud
        Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125 "Choral": IV. Recitative. Presto - allegro ma non troppo - vivace - adagio cantabile - allegro assai - presto "O Freunde" - allegro assai "Freude,

      • brianfreud
        Sonnen" - andante maestoso "Seid umschlungen, Millionen!" - adagio ma non troppo, ma divoto "Ihr, stürzt nieder" - allegro energico, sempre ben marcato "Freude, schöner Götterfunken" - "Seid umschlungen, Millionen!" - allegro ma non tanto "Freude, Tochter aus Elysium!" - prestissimo "Seid umschlungen, Millionen!"
      • 2008-02-20 05101, 2008

      • xlotlu
        yllona: i missed that. the choros is simple
      • 2008-02-20 05111, 2008

      • yllona
        here's some mahler for you...
      • 2008-02-20 05115, 2008

      • yllona is listening to Das Lied Von Der Erde: I. Das Trinklied Von Jammer Der Erde - II. Der Einsame Im Herbst - III. Von Der Jugend - IV. Von Der Schönheit - V. Der Trunkene Im Frühling - VI. Der Abschied by Gustav Mahler from Mahler: Das Lied Von Der Erde (1982) (0:24 / 69:21.98876953125)

      • 2008-02-20 05122, 2008

      • yllona
        looking now
      • 2008-02-20 05133, 2008

      • brianfreud
        be interested to see if people can break it (like the superwork), irregardless of the whole "CSG/no CSG" debater
      • 2008-02-20 05138, 2008

      • yllona
        and the choros are *not* simple
      • 2008-02-20 05133, 2008

      • xlotlu
        they're just opus: tempo - tempo -tempo ...
      • 2008-02-20 05104, 2008

      • brianfreud
        actually, the ones I find hardest to parse aren't complicated in of themselves
      • 2008-02-20 05106, 2008

      • xlotlu
        (afaik)
      • 2008-02-20 05129, 2008

      • yllona
        umm, not have you heard them all? or just 8 & 9 (the most often recorded)
      • 2008-02-20 05130, 2008

      • brianfreud
        the hardest ones to parse, I think, are variations on another composer, where you're putting one entire CSG title in the middle of another
      • 2008-02-20 05133, 2008

      • yllona
        here's an example of one of the shorter villa-lobo song cycles
      • 2008-02-20 05145, 2008

      • yllona is listening to Four Songs from the Forests of the Amazon (1958-1959): Veleiros (Sails) - Canção do Amor (Love Song) - Cair da Tarde (Twilight) - Melodia Sentimental (Sentimental Melody) by Heitor Villa-Lobos from Villa-Lobos: Songs (1993) (1:55 / 11:45.327026367188)
      • 2008-02-20 05143, 2008

      • brianfreud challenges with 4:33 :D
      • 2008-02-20 05153, 2008

      • xlotlu
        if that's one track, then it should be Four Songs ..: No. 1 Veleiros / No. 2 [...]
      • 2008-02-20 05148, 2008

      • xlotlu
        brianfreud: what about those common names vs the uncommon tempos?
      • 2008-02-20 05151, 2008

      • yllona
        xlotlu: i have them both separate and combined. i like to listen to them as a entirety.
      • 2008-02-20 05109, 2008

      • yllona
        i have each song as "track" also
      • 2008-02-20 05122, 2008

      • brianfreud
        xlotlu, not sure what you mean..."Seid umschlungen, Millionen!" is a name, not a tempo
      • 2008-02-20 05136, 2008

      • yllona
        but they were written to be heard as one complete work
      • 2008-02-20 05131, 2008

      • xlotlu
        brianfreud: the Henze royal w.m. sonata
      • 2008-02-20 05138, 2008

      • yllona
        this piece is 12 songs..
      • 2008-02-20 05147, 2008

      • yllona is listening to Mâkôcê cê Maká (Parici Lullaby) - Nozani Ná (Parici Drinking Song) - Papae Curimiassú (Caboclo Lullaby) by Heitor Villa-Lobos from Villa-Lobos: Songs (1993) (0:05 / 24:24.899047851562)
      • 2008-02-20 05148, 2008

      • brianfreud
        xlotlu: don't know it
      • 2008-02-20 05102, 2008

      • yllona
        i could only fit 4 into the ID3 tag
      • 2008-02-20 05120, 2008

      • brianfreud
        using 2.4?
      • 2008-02-20 05127, 2008

      • xlotlu
        yllona: i also rip the "special" music in a single track.. but never separately too, which makes for lots of huge mp3s on my hdd that i'll never be able to tag with MB :)
      • 2008-02-20 05119, 2008

      • yllona
        here's one of my favorite works by an american composer.
      • 2008-02-20 05123, 2008

      • yllona is listening to Letter to the World: I. Because I See New Englandly - Introduction - Not Knowing When The Dawn Will Come - I Open Every Door - II. Ancestress - I'm Sorry For The Dead Today - It's Coming, The Postponeless Creature - Drums Of The Phantom Battlements, Corne by St. Stephen's Chamber Orchestra; Lorenzo Muti, Conductor from The North Carolinians (1993) (0:53 / 21:36.692993164062)
      • 2008-02-20 05156, 2008

      • xlotlu is listening to Requiem by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart on Requiem D minor, K.626 [Amarok]
      • 2008-02-20 05111, 2008

      • xlotlu
        no need for more tagging ^^
      • 2008-02-20 05124, 2008

      • brianfreud
        :P
      • 2008-02-20 05131, 2008

      • brianfreud
        except it could be the other requiem :P
      • 2008-02-20 05132, 2008

      • yllona
        so you can see why i just gave up on MB CSG for 20th century works (especially)
      • 2008-02-20 05146, 2008

      • yllona
        brianfreud: yep...
      • 2008-02-20 05153, 2008

      • xlotlu
        [53:34] in case you were wondering :)
      • 2008-02-20 05121, 2008

      • brianfreud
        I tend to see 20th century classical as different, in that it's written these days with "real" titles much more in mind than in the baroque period
      • 2008-02-20 05147, 2008

      • xlotlu
        fork the CSG into MCSG?
      • 2008-02-20 05154, 2008

      • yllona
        xlotlu: the track duration for that work is going to cay greatly depending on conductor/orchestra.
      • 2008-02-20 05122, 2008

      • brianfreud
        xlotlu: more like only apply part of CSG, not the entire framework (3 part CSG, as I see/describe it)
      • 2008-02-20 05150, 2008

      • yllona
        so "Requiem by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart on Requiem D minor, K.626" tells me absolutely *nothing* other than it a random mozart composition
      • 2008-02-20 05119, 2008

      • brianfreud
        well, the 626 means something to me, lol, but technically, if you left that out, it could be 1 of 2
      • 2008-02-20 05128, 2008

      • xlotlu
        yllona: doesn't matter. the point is it's one track, and it will never get split. because a requiem movement sneaking lonely into a random playlist is heresy!
      • 2008-02-20 05132, 2008

      • yllona
        xlotlu: and i bet if you were to research early cinyl recordings you'd find that this work was split among several LPs or platters
      • 2008-02-20 05144, 2008

      • xlotlu
        and i couldn't care less about who conducted it or performed it. it still is the best i've heard yet
      • 2008-02-20 05154, 2008

      • brianfreud has a version from nazi berlin which is split
      • 2008-02-20 05109, 2008

      • xlotlu
        yllona: it was actually my first classical vinyl
      • 2008-02-20 05119, 2008

      • brianfreud
        which is it?
      • 2008-02-20 05139, 2008

      • yllona
        the duration limit for vinyl was limited ~30 minutes per side (or less)
      • 2008-02-20 05154, 2008

      • xlotlu
        and my hand was always trembling rushing to turn the disc around, and wishing for my grandad's player that could play both sides
      • 2008-02-20 05114, 2008

      • yllona
        and why wouldn't you care about conductor or orchestra, it make all the difference in the world
      • 2008-02-20 05134, 2008

      • yllona
        that could have been a high school orchestra (for example)
      • 2008-02-20 05123, 2008

      • xlotlu
        then i deeply respect the highschool pupils that managed to pull off the best requiem performance i've heard
      • 2008-02-20 05129, 2008

      • yllona
        or the opera i heard last night "orfeo & eurydice" of course you'd want to know cast, orchestra and conductor
      • 2008-02-20 05143, 2008

      • brianfreud
        definitely... the nazi recording is quite interesting, but not the one I would want to listen to
      • 2008-02-20 05101, 2008

      • brianfreud
        8 full choirs + 4 full orchestras, all at the loudest damn forte you can imagine....
      • 2008-02-20 05106, 2008

      • xlotlu
        brianfreud: that's the overly excessive one?
      • 2008-02-20 05108, 2008

      • brianfreud
        the lacrimosa loses something, lol
      • 2008-02-20 05112, 2008

      • brianfreud
        yes
      • 2008-02-20 05129, 2008

      • brianfreud
        it's Mozart played like Wagner

      • 2008-02-20 05119, 2008

        interesting :)
      • 2008-02-20 05134, 2008

      • yllona
        i saw some of these pieces in workshop... LA opera has been pulling the content together for sevral years now.

        quick question with a potentially simple answer: why is there no %year% tag? i don't want to use the full %date% tag
      • 2008-02-20 05150, 2008

      • brianfreud
        if only as a curiousity
      • 2008-02-20 05133, 2008

      • brianfreud
        $left(%date%,4)
      • 2008-02-20 05158, 2008

      • Svak
        i ran across that, but wasn't quite sure what it meant
      • 2008-02-20 05119, 2008

      • brianfreud
        take the date and chop off all but the first 4 digits
      • 2008-02-20 05152, 2008

      • Svak
        ahh, that actually makes sense
      • 2008-02-20 05115, 2008

      • Svak
        i had interpreted it to mean 'chop off the last 4'
      • 2008-02-20 05131, 2008

      • Svak
        which seemed helpful part of the time, but harmful other times
      • 2008-02-20 05141, 2008

      • brianfreud
        no, that would be $right(%date%,4) (not sure if $right is even implemented...:P)
      • 2008-02-20 05128, 2008

      • brianfreud
        "starting from the left side, return only the first x digits, where x = 4"
      • 2008-02-20 05152, 2008

      • Svak
        why not just use a %year% tag?
      • 2008-02-20 05158, 2008

      • brianfreud
        redundant
      • 2008-02-20 05143, 2008

      • brianfreud
        MB has no "year" field - Picard would be creating it for you by doing the $left(%date%,4) internally
      • 2008-02-20 05113, 2008

      • Svak
        ok, that makes a reasonable amount of sense
      • 2008-02-20 05135, 2008

      • brianfreud
        :)
      • 2008-02-20 05137, 2008

      • Svak
        i'm not a coder or programmer, so this is a somewhat foreign language to me
      • 2008-02-20 05146, 2008

      • brianfreud
        one of the two most common file naming string Q's I hear
      • 2008-02-20 05154, 2008

      • srotta
        Although using $left/$right depends on formatting, which isn't nice.
      • 2008-02-20 05112, 2008

      • Svak
        something to include in an faq, then?
      • 2008-02-20 05116, 2008

      • srotta
        But since the release date is stored as text in database anyway, it doesn't really matter :P
      • 2008-02-20 05138, 2008

        brianfreud: here's the full release on the "recovered voices" multi-year project: www.losangelesopera.com/press/...cement%20release…

        svak, afaik it already is on the scripting page
      • 2008-02-20 05152, 2008

      • brianfreud
        the other btw, is this:

      • brianfreud
        $num(%tracknumber%,4),$if($gte(%totaltracks%,100),$num(%tracknumber%,3),$if($gte(%totaltracks%,10),$num(%tracknumber%,2),$num(%tracknumber%,1))))
      • 2008-02-20 05136, 2008

      • brianfreud
        autopad the track # with only as many zeros as the highest track number on the release has digits
      • 2008-02-20 05143, 2008

      • Svak
        that's too many parenthesis for my mind to comprehend, unfortunately

        also, i ran across a 2-disc album where one disc has album art and one does not... i figure that ought to be fixed

        ruaok: btw, I had to laugh... for a script that currently doesn't actually DO anything, and which has no description of what it does, that beta script has been installed more times than any other of mine except the CD Baby script (38 times, lol)

        svak, you can add it in, go for it :)

        see, I can handle parens... regexps though, I hate... (/\">/,"|")); !!!

        that ended up being it, but of anything, regexp notation makes me most annoyed
      • 2008-02-20 05105, 2008

      • brianfreud
        not knowing perl has its drawbacks

        i'm not seeing a convenient "add album art" button, so would somebody be so kind as to point me in the right direction?
      • 2008-02-20 05135, 2008

      • ruaok
        perl != regexp
      • 2008-02-20 05145, 2008

      • ruaok
        get yer regexp down. that skill will go far.
      • 2008-02-20 05145, 2008

      • brianfreud
        I thought regexp notation came out of perl?
      • 2008-02-20 05154, 2008

      • ruaok
        no.
      • 2008-02-20 05102, 2008

      • ruaok
        I think it was more like sed and awk.
      • 2008-02-20 05106, 2008

      • brianfreud
        slowly getting there... some of the regexp stuff still makes my head spin though
      • 2008-02-20 05116, 2008

      • brianfreud
        figured it was less server costly to just write a HTML --> moin code parser, scrape the annotation the user already can see instead of making a behind the scenes extra page req
      • 2008-02-20 05121, 2008

      • ruaok
        who was the w in awk again?

      • brianfreud
        yeah - I got 90% done writing this parser when I realized it could also be used to let people who are happier playing in HTML play with HTML instead :P
