MB also likes having a URL, rswarbrick -- recommended format by MB is <client name>/<version> ( <url or some other form of contact info for the author> )

and python-musicbrainz-ngs uses <app>/<version> python-musicbrainz-ngs/<pymbngs version> ( <url> )

which may be a better model for your thing, if it's a library :)

I'm really unhappy with the current name of http://musicbrainz.org/label/3c112e52-78af-454d...

I'm just not sure what to rename it to :/

The current imprint for Hungarian EMI releases seems to be simply "EMI", no qualifiers

with "EMI Zenei Kft." in the copyright notice

hello EMI

goooooooooodbye

A&&M

Happy (belated) new year all!

not belated to us americans

Ah, but it's going to be hours before anyone south of the arctic circle welcomes the new year in now :-)

indeed

ianmcorvidae: Right, shall do. Re the library thing, will wait on that until I've stopped the "debug phase".

Whee, finished writing http://www.kepstin.ca/blog/musicinreview2011 before the new year came up here :)

Here's a new script to start off the new year:) http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/121950

I listen to new music constantly

but most of it I wouldn't blog about

my top 10 for the last year is kinda dire

brianfreud: yout screenshot tells me you haven't updated my script :)

it's a bit wider now, but still doesn't break yours

your*

Maybe I should add a button to toggle between "simple mode" and "classical music mode".

kovacsur: lol

I put a little tweak in mine to tweak yours; it adds a display style to the table so they can sit horizontally, instead of vertically

Oh, and the checkboxes are already there, my script doesn't add them (they're for selecting works to be merged)

ah

for some reason I wasn't seeing them in FF

figured your script was the difference

hm

I could be wrong, it's almost 3am

I'm traveling, and on the laptop, so I didn't bother to check more deeply

Yes, I disabled GreaseMonkey and the checkboxes are definitely still there

maybe you weren't logged in

ah, that's prob it

one more new one, just for fun :) http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/121954

kepstin-laptop: your lists are subbed anime mostly yeah?

lol, bakuman in mid-tier

I finished it only because it was unique

kepstin-laptop: it seems like nothing you recommend is avail in dub

bitmap, you rule :)

He happy new year!

Same to you :)

I am trying to merge two releases disc 1 and disc 2 together but I am not sure if I did it the right way...

Catch as Catch Can

Maybe someone with more experience would be so kind to check...

Almost

You shouldn't add "Disc 1" and "Disc 2" as medium titles

And you should merge the release groups too (from http://musicbrainz.org/artist/7c35ec53-2213-484... just select both checkboxes and click the merge button under the list)

nikki, ping

ok thanks

nikki: what's the protocol to add a new type to the work types list?

(that being http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zarzuela )

I try to correct myself...

Innocuous: I'd just cancel the merge releases edit and re-enter it without the titles

The disc change name is correct

So you don't need to touch it

ok

To be sure I just leave the medium title empty?

Yep

You should only fill it when the discs have a real title

Say, disc 2 is called "The B-Sides" for example

Thanks for clearing that up

Hope it is ok now...

happy new year, #musicbrainz!

Innocuous, it looks fine :)

Head uut aastat v6lur!

Great! Thanks for checking..

Happy New Year peeps!

rswarbrick, ping

(also brianfreud, maybe Kryztof, and... well, I don't know, anyone who wants to criticise and help)

Most of the definitions come via Wikipedia + the BBC via http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/User:RobertKaye/Wor...

reosarevok: Pong

I'd lose the SATB bit on "quartet". I think that will only confuse people.

And maybe for madrigal I'd say "The madrigal is a type of secular vocal music composition. In its original form, it had no instrumental accompaniment, although accompaniment is much more common in later madrigals."

Sure

Just add stuff

Cool.

Is the quartet bit ok with you? (Don't want to delete your work!)

The SATB part was some kind of attempt to justify why we have "quartet" as a form but not "duo", "trio" or "quintet" (which are all relatively common)

I am also not too convinced on whether "quartet" is really a form

But well, it's in the list

(and yeah, delete away)

Well, I'm pretty unconvinced on the value of these types at all. But that's a different problem.

Would it be good to also have an example work for each type?

I guess it wouldn't hurt

Even several for the types that can represent different stuff maybe

For people who aren't sure what some of them should mean (eg not everyone knows what a madrigal is)

Cool.

ruaok's page did have examples after all, but they linked to releases

(as works weren't added when that was made I guess)

Hmm. For now, I'm going to fight with lisp code, but maybe I'll come back to this!

Ok :)

I am wondering about "song". Although it technically expects words

Mendelssohn springs to mind...

both some popular pieces usually considered "songs" and stuff like the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Songs_Without_Words might be set

Yeah :p

Exactly!

Meh. I'm pretty ambivalent about it. Frankly, I don't think the work types will be very useful.

While I don't expect them to be amazingly useful

Unless maybe someone makes a tagging based version. (Not necessarily the current tags system, but something else which allows multiple work types)

I would like to be able to filter a work list by, say, operas

More exciting for me would be allowing only top-level works on a work list. IE, allow me to remove any works that are marked as part of a parent work.

That's a different idea

But you don't necessarily want that

Well, I meant as an option.

You probably want to remove *movements*

But not stuff like..

Yes, but that's how they're stored, right?

Ahah!

I've not been doing that sort of grouping for that reason :-)

Hmm, maybe works need a separate "top-level" flag.

For your list, it's more likely that you'd want to remove Cello Sonatas nos. 1 & 2, Op. 5

Yeah

CallerNo6 was suggesting renaming "type" to "form"

And add "type", being "work", "superwork", "movement/part"

(names are placeholder-ish)

Yep, sounds good. Although I'd suggest just finding a new word: otherwise things like the webservice will become out of sync with names.

Work level would work

Dunno
