“Django Reinhardt / Stephane Grappelli, Volume 3: Inedits”? “Django Reinhardt / Stephane Grappelli et le Quintette du Hot Club de France, Volume 3: Inedits”? “Volume 3: Inedits”?

Inédits*

^ hawke_

I'd say “Django Reinhardt / Stephane Grappelli et le Quintette du Hot Club de France, Volume 3: Inédits” hawke_

_5moufl: That’s what I’m doing.

Thanks for the second opinion. :-)

did you 'lèdxp the “é” ?

did I what?

notice

keymap fail

I did.

Final result here: http://musicbrainz.org/release/507ddd4e-5227-45...

Couldn’t figure out what recording “Django’s Castle” was, so I added a new one

probably shouldn’t have given a duration for it based on a guess. Whoops.

If it’s both, wouldn’t it be the same work?

no, cause you can still get arrangements

but http://musicbrainz.org/work/912d3628-7b89-4821-... could really use a "lyrics only" on the version AR to You're My Baby

common lyricist AR?

as an attribute to the version AR

Nod, but wouldn’t a common lyricist AR suggest that it’s the same? I know it’s not perfect, but…

I guess you could put a 2nd [trad] work behind that one, for pre-1912 w/o the lyrics

Assuming there are instrumental performances of it, it would almost have to be that.

yeah...

That’ll be wanting some disambiguation comment too, presumably

With that many variations

up

yup

ok, http://musicbrainz.org/work/912d3628-7b89-4821-...

Excellent.

That makes it pretty clear, I think

hawke_: I have pairs of works where the same person was the lyricist for both even though the lyrics are different :P

nikki: I know there are such cases, but it helps.

I had 2 different "Diamond Joe"s, each performed by Dylan, and each [trad] :P

it doesn't help a lot though, you still have no idea whether the lyrics were changed or not

I've been lucky so far at finding lyrics.

There’s a threshold for changed lyrics anyway

So effectively you never know whether there are changed lyrics, even if the work is the same

plus whether the artist decides to try to register the "new" version with a PRO

http://mudcat.org/ is quite useful if you're got a mess of [trad] to sort out

Yep, I often find things there

Do we have a sane way of crediting band leaders and their bands?

when the band name changes but the personnel doesn’t?

personnel *don’t* rather

Artist credits?

Indeed.

Dunno, that seems like the easiest of the problems to me

Much better than the opposite, backing band with the same name but always different personnel

but: Credit to solo artist, with name "Artist and his Band", "Artist and His Sextet", etc.? Or make a separate group for all the band name variations—and if that, what to name it?

Hmmm

Or, of course, separate artists for each name variant (that seems like the worst option)

I guess a cold, calculated "Artist X's Backing Band" as a name is not an option? :p

Not really the kind of musical world I feel safe to give advice about though

I think it needs to be decided on a case-by-case basis

Maybe mail mb-users?

Yeah, probably

It might make sense to make a wiki page or something

Ask people to list their favoured name

And start with the artist+bands they agree on

:p

That way you don't need to make the hard decisions for a while! :)

In any case

Hmm

Well, it would require people interested in whatever band in question. :-)

I think there needs to be a "commit" or some other "skip to end, no further changes" button in the editor

VxJasonxV, there is

It's called the Edit Note tab

it sucks to wait through three clicks when you just want to edit label/annotation/whatever on the first screen

you know, I knew that, I swear

hehe

:D
