rswarbrick: yes... though that's kind of the thought

brianfreud: Oh? But doesn't that mean that after the merge when someone searches for Dubin they get Jimmy McHugh as well?
2012-01-01 00145, 2012

(I'm coming at this after getting random conductors when searching for composers' names...)

MEH - recorded in concert hall N on 9 Jan, 5 Apr, 16 May 2006
2012-01-01 00109, 2012
rswarbrick
One track?!
2012-01-01 00111, 2012
brianfreud
sure, but in a case where they're searching for the artist, and they're searching by lyricist's name, wouldn't they want the composer's name anyhow?
2012-01-01 00113, 2012

An album
2012-01-01 00114, 2012
rswarbrick
God, they were rubbish
2012-01-01 00117, 2012
rswarbrick
Ah :-)
2012-01-01 00119, 2012
reosarevok
There might be more specific dates
2012-01-01 00125, 2012
reosarevok
But in the booklet
2012-01-01 00136, 2012

(and Naxos are nice enough giving the back cover away :p )
2012-01-01 00138, 2012
reosarevok
9 Jan to 16 May, or just 2006?
2012-01-01 00143, 2012
reosarevok
for the relationship
2012-01-01 00157, 2012
rswarbrick
brianfreud: What I mean is that sometimes you search for eg. "Mozart" in the "relate to" box and get the Vienna Phil (or whatever). This is confusing to me...
2012-01-01 00108, 2012
brianfreud
yeah, those are pretty useless ones
2012-01-01 00121, 2012
rswarbrick
reosarevok: Since they're that far apart, I think I'd just use the year.
brianfreud: yeah, I think so, too. Maybe if it also worked on search results pages it would make more sense, but not from artists' works lists
2012-01-01 00136, 2012
reosarevok
rswarbrick, orphaned works are autoremoved
2012-01-01 00107, 2012
rswarbrick
Ah, I thought it still had a composed relation. Ignore me :-)
2012-01-01 00108, 2012
brianfreud
I had actually been thinking more along fields per work, rather than globally
2012-01-01 00112, 2012
brianfreud
maybe that'd be too noisy
2012-01-01 00128, 2012
reosarevok
Dunno if *too* but quite
2012-01-01 00141, 2012
reosarevok
And tiresome
2012-01-01 00154, 2012

I ended up adding the hide ability to the tagger for just that reason D:

2012-01-01 00102, 2012
brianfreud hates laptop keyboards
2012-01-01 00104, 2012
reosarevok
I'd rather have another script to update dates like mad
2012-01-01 00110, 2012
rswarbrick
While I'm pestering brianfreud... (sorry!) should the recording & track list responsible for http://musicbrainz.org/edit/16027262 also get changed? Or was this genuinely misnamed on the CD or something?
2012-01-01 00146, 2012
rswarbrick
reosarevok: Working on it :-) (but it won't be a userscript: I reckon hunks of CL code are more usable by me. Sorry!)
2012-01-01 00150, 2012
brianfreud
it'd be so nice to have a script to do that... date support came too late for Dylan's performance of work ARs
2012-01-01 00110, 2012
reosarevok
CL = Common Lisp?
2012-01-01 00124, 2012
rswarbrick
Yep. That said, I think I might not make non-browser-based code that makes edits public: probably lots of potential for havoc...
2012-01-01 00155, 2012
rswarbrick
It was convenient for tagging lots of recordings with works (more than fitted on the recordings page) though.
2012-01-01 00142, 2012
nikki
how many people do you think know what to do with lisp code anyway? :P
2012-01-01 00152, 2012
rswarbrick
Ah, well. :-)
2012-01-01 00101, 2012

(and we already have public python bots)
2012-01-01 00141, 2012
rswarbrick
I'll happily stick it up on github if anyone would find it useful. But I wasn't going to work on frontends. I think it's better as a "How can I solve the following problem for the recordings in front of me" sort of thing.
2012-01-01 00147, 2012
reosarevok
I S2 bots
2012-01-01 00148, 2012
rswarbrick
And I'm rubbish at writing guis...
2012-01-01 00109, 2012
rswarbrick
Is S2 a verb? (I'm genuinely confused!)
2012-01-01 00114, 2012
reosarevok
It's a heart

*US keyboard
2012-01-01 00133, 2012
reosarevok
With Spanish layout
2012-01-01 00138, 2012
reosarevok
Means I have no less than symbol :(
2012-01-01 00152, 2012
nikki
how come?
2012-01-01 00159, 2012
rswarbrick
Heh. Feel free to copy + paste: <>
2012-01-01 00105, 2012

In a Spanish keyboard, less than is at the left of Z
2012-01-01 00113, 2012
reosarevok
In this keyboard, there's nothing there
2012-01-01 00116, 2012
nikki
oh right
2012-01-01 00122, 2012
reosarevok
I've pressed lots of other random keys and can't find it :p
2012-01-01 00124, 2012

What's to the right of M?
2012-01-01 00129, 2012

(with shift)

2012-01-01 00138, 2012
nikki shakes her head at us keyboards having fewer keys
2012-01-01 00140, 2012
rswarbrick
Fair enough.
2012-01-01 00140, 2012
reosarevok
(as in a normal Spanish keyboard)
2012-01-01 00148, 2012
reosarevok
I can see that the US layout has it there
2012-01-01 00155, 2012
rswarbrick
That's because Americans find all these buttons confusing...
2012-01-01 00157, 2012
reosarevok
(it's printed)
2012-01-01 00159, 2012

But...
2012-01-01 00103, 2012
rswarbrick
Ah, I see.
2012-01-01 00119, 2012

rswarbrick: well surely if they're that confusing, just one less is still far too many :P

One solution is to switch layouts again! (Typing this on Dvorak)

�!"�$%&/()=?� is my upper line
2012-01-01 00146, 2012
reosarevok
Spanish uses more stuff than English (that's why we need more keys! :) )
2012-01-01 00156, 2012
reosarevok
Well, my upper line on shift that is
2012-01-01 00107, 2012
rswarbrick
I was going to say: calculations must be hard :-)
2012-01-01 00128, 2012
rswarbrick
Don't you guys use AltGr heavily as well?
2012-01-01 00136, 2012
nikki
the germans do
2012-01-01 00144, 2012
rswarbrick
I'm still shuddering after teaching a German how to write C.
2012-01-01 00145, 2012

and the hungarians :p
2012-01-01 00151, 2012

haha
2012-01-01 00157, 2012

The {} are on AltGr somewhere on the top right.

My qwerty touch typing is rusty as it is. On a German kezboard, it's even more fiddlz.
