        sure
      • pbryan
        Valid track titles? ...
      • Three Songs, Op. 2 No. 3: "Bessie Bobtail"
      • Three Songs, Op. 2 No. 2: "With Rue My Heart Is Laden"
      • Three Songs, Op. 2 No. 1: "The Daisies"
      • brianfreud
        hmmm, sounds like... Benjamin Britten maybe?
      • pbryan
        Specifically, "Op. N No. M"?
      • Close, it's Barber.
      • brianfreud
        you're good there - (assuming) it is No. 1 of Opus 2
      • pbryan
        Okay, cool. Thanks.
      • brianfreud
        is "The Daisies" the title of a movement, or of Op 2 No 1?
      • looks like it's a single movement 3 work opus... in which case, drop the colons.
      • pbryan
        Right, okay.
      • brianfreud
        :)
      • brianfreud wonders if he has a backup copy of CSG in a Bottle around somewhere
      • pbryan
        Adagio for strings, is the second movement of Op. 11. I wonder if it should be...
      • symphonick
        pbryan: hmm... is the quotes titles? in that case drop the double quotes
      • pbryan
        String Quartet, Op. 11: II. Adagio for strings
      • or just...
      • String Quartet, Op. 11: II. Adagio
      • symphonick
        the latter
      • pbryan
        Okay.
      • Re: quotes.
      • Quotes are titles for the songs, which are works within the same opus.
      • I should drop the quotes?
      • brianfreud
        titles of works, or of movements.
      • pbryan
        Three Songs, Op. 10 No. 3 I Hear an Army
      • That's the correct way?
      • brianfreud
        So Three Songs, Op. 2 No. 1 "The Daisies" <--- "The Daisies" is the title of the work, not the movement, so no colon.
      • pbryan
        Right, no colon, but keep the quotes, correct?
      • brianfreud
        yes
      • pbryan
        Three Songs, Op. 10 No. 3 "I Hear an Army"
      • brianfreud
        rare to have a named movement... I'd honestly have to go even check where the title and quotes would go for that rare situation
      • pbryan
        Your CSGOperaThing is outmoded by such complexities.
      • symphonick
        it's not really defined, if I recall correctly
      • pbryan
        Except this is not a named movement, right. It's a named work, within a named opus.
      • brianfreud
        symphonick: hi! :) yeah, I don't think I included it in the complex version, only in the ontology :P
      • pbryan: exactly :)
      • symphonick
        brianfreud: hello there! :=)
      • brianfreud
        an opus = collection of works. your works there happen to all be one movement long, so "The Daisies" is a work title, not a movement title.
      • pbryan
        Cool.
      • CSG is fun!
      • brianfreud
        :P
      • symphonick
        no it isn't
      • brianfreud
        hehe
      • mutemathic
        nikki: so what's up with the reported amazon urls.. should they be corrected by removing the trailing slash and these weird description values or should the report be changed so that they don't appear anymore?
      • pbryan
        No, it's not.
      • brianfreud
        oh, right, just double checked - we were treating named movement titles like libretto text,
      • nikki
        mutemathic: preferably the trailing slash should be removed :)
      • brianfreud
        String Quartet, Op. 11: II. Adagio "The Daisies"
      • symphonick
        hmm OK
      • mutemathic
        nikki: ok good, i'll do some of them... what's up with those one letter descriptions.. did they have any "function"?
      • brianfreud
        lol, yeah... I think there's a whole one case in the JSBach list, and one in the Mozart, of that :P
      • nikki
        the descriptions used to be mandatory, so people wrote rubbish there
      • mutemathic
        i see.. ok thanks
      • brianfreud
        wow, 106 pages in the ASIN report... looks like it's time to trim it back down to 5 or 6 :P
      • FauxFaux
        I WOULD STAND IN LINE FOR THIS.
      • nikki
        the problem at the moment is that bug where you can't edit into an existing url :(
      • brianfreud
        that's still live?
      • nikki
        otherwise I would go through that report in a few days
      • yes :(
      • brianfreud
        thought that was fixed back in the spring server update
      • nikki
        spring?
      • brianfreud
        spring 08
      • nikki
        there wasn't one then
      • oct 07, nov 08
      • brianfreud
        wasn't there one in like March or so?
      • nikki
        nope
      • FauxFaux
        Mmm, router is unplugged at the router, as apposed to at the wall, should probably ask the person who's paying the bill before plugging it back in.
      • brianfreud scratches head :P
      • nikki
        wishful thinking :P
      • symphonick has quit
      • mutemathic
        oh.. hmm.. well thats a stupid bug
      • brianfreud
        yup
      • just realized http://www.brianfreud.byethost13.com/editall.html never made it in the latest server patch :(
