        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-a…

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

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

        • 2012-01-01 00149, 2012

        with "EMI Zenei Kft." in the copyright notice

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

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

        I listen to new music constantly

        • 2012-01-01 00144, 2012

      • derwin
        but most of it I wouldn't blog about

        • 2012-01-01 00115, 2012

      • kepstin-laptop was bored, and he figured that he might as well use the last.fm stats for /something/ :)

        • 2012-01-01 00114, 2012

      • derwin
        my top 10 for the last year is kinda dire

        • 2012-01-01 00138, 2012

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

        • 2012-01-01 00150, 2012

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

        • 2012-01-01 00105, 2012

      • kovacsur
        your*

        • 2012-01-01 00146, 2012

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

        • 2012-01-01 00153, 2012

      • brianfreud
        kovacsur: lol

        • 2012-01-01 00137, 2012

      • brianfreud
        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

        • 2012-01-01 00104, 2012

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

        • 2012-01-01 00116, 2012

      • brianfreud
        ah

        • 2012-01-01 00123, 2012

      • brianfreud
        for some reason I wasn't seeing them in FF

        • 2012-01-01 00134, 2012

      • brianfreud
        figured your script was the difference

        • 2012-01-01 00138, 2012

      • kovacsur
        hm

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

        • 2012-01-01 00153, 2012

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

        • 2012-01-01 00114, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Almost

        • 2012-01-01 00127, 2012

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

        • 2012-01-01 00100, 2012

      • reosarevok
        And you should merge the release groups too (from http://musicbrainz.org/artist/7c35ec53-2213-4841-… just select both checkboxes and click the merge button under the list)

        • 2012-01-01 00118, 2012

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

        • 2012-01-01 00133, 2012

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

        • 2012-01-01 00130, 2012

      • Innocuous
        I try to correct myself...

        • 2012-01-01 00128, 2012

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

        • 2012-01-01 00138, 2012

      • reosarevok
        The disc change name is correct

        • 2012-01-01 00149, 2012

      • reosarevok
        So you don't need to touch it

        • 2012-01-01 00159, 2012

      • Innocuous
        ok

        • 2012-01-01 00111, 2012

      • Innocuous
        To be sure I just leave the medium title empty?

        • 2012-01-01 00149, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Yep

        • 2012-01-01 00159, 2012

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

        • 2012-01-01 00108, 2012

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

        • 2012-01-01 00110, 2012

      • Innocuous
        Thanks for clearing that up

        • 2012-01-01 00126, 2012

        • 2012-01-01 00132, 2012

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

        • 2012-01-01 00143, 2012

      • rswarbrick
        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."

        • 2012-01-01 00112, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Sure

        • 2012-01-01 00115, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Just add stuff

        • 2012-01-01 00119, 2012

      • rswarbrick
        Cool.

        • 2012-01-01 00141, 2012

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

        • 2012-01-01 00146, 2012

      • reosarevok
        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)

        • 2012-01-01 00107, 2012

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

        • 2012-01-01 00111, 2012

      • reosarevok
        But well, it's in the list

        • 2012-01-01 00117, 2012

      • reosarevok
        (and yeah, delete away)

        • 2012-01-01 00148, 2012

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

        • 2012-01-01 00114, 2012

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

        • 2012-01-01 00131, 2012

      • reosarevok
        I guess it wouldn't hurt

        • 2012-01-01 00143, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Even several for the types that can represent different stuff maybe

        • 2012-01-01 00159, 2012

      • reosarevok just added the basic stuff, but has nothing against the page being made more useful

        • 2012-01-01 00107, 2012

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

        • 2012-01-01 00114, 2012

      • rswarbrick
        Cool.

        • 2012-01-01 00116, 2012

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

        • 2012-01-01 00127, 2012

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

        • 2012-01-01 00143, 2012

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

        • 2012-01-01 00152, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Ok :)

        • 2012-01-01 00150, 2012

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

        • 2012-01-01 00130, 2012

      • rswarbrick
        Mendelssohn springs to mind...

        • 2012-01-01 00133, 2012

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

        • 2012-01-01 00138, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Yeah :p

        • 2012-01-01 00139, 2012

      • rswarbrick
        Exactly!

        • 2012-01-01 00106, 2012

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

        • 2012-01-01 00125, 2012

      • reosarevok
        While I don't expect them to be amazingly useful

        • 2012-01-01 00136, 2012

        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

        • 2012-01-01 00110, 2012

      • rswarbrick
        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.

      • reosarevok
        That's a different idea

        • 2012-01-01 00127, 2012

      • reosarevok
        But you don't necessarily want that

        • 2012-01-01 00136, 2012

      • rswarbrick
        Well, I meant as an option.

        • 2012-01-01 00137, 2012

      • reosarevok
        You probably want to remove *movements*

        • 2012-01-01 00148, 2012

      • reosarevok
        But not stuff like..

        • 2012-01-01 00148, 2012

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

        Ahah!

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

        • 2012-01-01 00129, 2012

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

        • 2012-01-01 00133, 2012

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

        • 2012-01-01 00134, 2012

      • reosarevok
        Yeah

        • 2012-01-01 00157, 2012

        CallerNo6 was suggesting renaming "type" to "form"

        • 2012-01-01 00113, 2012

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

        • 2012-01-01 00123, 2012

      • reosarevok
        (names are placeholder-ish)

        • 2012-01-01 00110, 2012

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