So I guess the work has to be named "Szomorú Vasárnap" (hungarian?), "Mratschnoje Woskresenje" certainly being a russian transaltion transliterated in latin script.

Now, if all of this is right, how do I keep track of everything in musicbrainz? only with edit comments?

works can have aliases, so if there are multiple titles, you can just add the others as aliases

and if a lyrics have been translated, it's not the same work anymore, right?

"The legend behind this song is that if you listen to it, then you will soon after commit suicide." not sure I want to work on this anymore.

"recorded 1931 in London" <- I guess that's a relationship between a recording and an area?

yes

the guy who wrote the music for the "suicide song" died on my birthday.
So you'd like to use rap only when it's specifically credited as such then? :p
2014-03-04 06304, 2014

that'd work for me :P

(like it was proposed with mini-album)

yep or if there's a unanimous vote
2014-03-04 06316, 2014

Because funnily that'd exclude pretty much every rap album
2014-03-04 06345, 2014

you can just leave it as vocals for edge cases

it's probably not as important for rap albums anyway
2014-03-04 06351, 2014
nikki
at least we added the solo attribute even though there's lots of stuff that's all solo
2014-03-04 06325, 2014

not that I claim to know the slightest thing about actual rap albums :P

CallerNo6 resists the urge to ask "what's an album?"
2014-03-04 06349, 2014

it could be a single
2014-03-04 06353, 2014

or an ep or mini-album :P

nikki: sure, but "solo" is described as "playing a solo *part*", which means an all-solo thing doesn't really apply anyway
2014-03-04 06318, 2014
reosarevok_
I just mean that if you need it to be credited as "rap" to use the attribute, then it'll be weird since almost no rap albums will ever credit the vocalist at all (apart from it being the main AC) and if they do it will be just as vocals, most of the time
2014-03-04 06328, 2014
reosarevok_
But if you don't, then you need to define what rap actually is
2014-03-04 06331, 2014
nikki
you could still argue that if it's all solo, it's just that all of the parts are solo and therefore it's a solo part :P

I like Lotheric's approach.

I'd be fine with just using it for stuff credited as rap and if people who edit rap want to use it, they're welcome to figure out how it should be used and if they don't want to use it, they can continue not using it because it's not credited :P
2014-03-04 06352, 2014
Lotheric
it can be good to be specific when a track features a rapper and a singer
2014-03-04 06300, 2014
Lotheric
so you know who raps and who sings

I'd like to be able to credit "scratches" as well (not sure how)

Isn't that what instrument: turntables is for?

You don't credit "string plucking", you credit guitar...
2014-03-04 06321, 2014
CallerNo6 hopes we don't get to a point where we're trying to define "rap".

reosarevok_: I understand your logic but in most hip hop album, they often credit it as "scratchs"
2014-03-04 06321, 2014
reosarevok_
It's still the same thing though
2014-03-04 06340, 2014

you can mix with turntables, you can beat juggle, you can scratch, cut, sample, etc
2014-03-04 06353, 2014

reosarevok_: If all we get is "rap" I would put both dancehall/reggae toasting and grime rapping under it, btw.

reo is turntable really an instrument though ? it doesn't "make" sounds, it plays them, sounds are made in other ways and recorded
2014-03-04 06344, 2014
reosarevok_
Yeah, and quite often they do something that isn't really scratch but still call it scratch, in my experience :p
