        this is old classical style, right? http://musicbrainz.org/release/1f87601a-cc22-4a8e…
      • 2015-01-28 02859, 2015

      • Tecfan
        if i understood the current style correctly I am to delete the ensemble and conductor from the title and add them as relationships in the release group?
      • 2015-01-28 02820, 2015

      • reosarevok
        Add them to the artist

        yea, I think so
      • 2015-01-28 02825, 2015

      • reosarevok
        If it's release-ish, if not you could just do standalone recordings
      • 2015-01-28 02843, 2015

      • reosarevok
        But if it has track numbers and the like (which it seems to?) I guess a promo release

        just checking the metadata now to see if they all have the same album metadata

        I came across this song called "Goodnight_Sequence" and someone decided to write it as "Goodnight_sequence", which one is correct?

        Leo_Verto: I think either is acceptable.
      • 2015-01-28 02846, 2015

      • Leo_Verto
        but one is the original song name
      • 2015-01-28 02848, 2015

      • nikki
        this *is* english capitalisation we're talking about :P hard to say something isn't correct there
      • 2015-01-28 02849, 2015

      • hawke1
        (an argument could be made that it’s like two words so title case applies, or that it’s one word, so it doesn’t)

      • spooky joined the channel
      • 2015-01-28 02815, 2015

      • Leo_Verto
        doesn't the english title guide recommend capitalizing most words?
      • 2015-01-28 02820, 2015

      • nikki
        yes
      • 2015-01-28 02857, 2015

      • nikki
        but there's nothing about whether an underscore makes something two words or not
      • 2015-01-28 02821, 2015

      • nikki
        we capitalise either side of a hyphen, so I would capitalise both, unless I had some reason not to
      • 2015-01-28 02809, 2015

      • Leo_Verto
        okay, am probably going to do that, but there's more arguable stuff
      • 2015-01-28 02853, 2015

      • Leo_Verto
        the songtitle on bandcap is "Mirai Sekai Pt. 4: Goodnight_Sequence", the full MB title is "Mirai Sekai, Part 4: Goodnight_sequence"
      • 2015-01-28 02823, 2015

      • Leo_Verto
        is abbrevation expansion to be applied to titles as well? and is that comma supposed to exist?
      • 2015-01-28 02846, 2015

      • nikki
        heh
      • 2015-01-28 02801, 2015

      • nikki
        currently yes and yes
      • 2015-01-28 02829, 2015

      • nikki
        although with the way https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/User:Reosarevok/Abbr… is going, that might change at some point
      • 2015-01-28 02835, 2015

      • Leo_Verto
        the first one makes sense, but why is the comma required?
      • 2015-01-28 02849, 2015

      • nikki
        because some people like standardising things
      • 2015-01-28 02829, 2015

      • Leo_Verto
        also is "bgibbard voted for this at http://forums.musicbrainz.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2… really a legit vote? :P
      • 2015-01-28 02833, 2015

      • nikki personally would prefer to just use what the title has, but comma is what http://musicbrainz.org/doc/Style/Titles/Part_numbers says so :/
      • 2015-01-28 02805, 2015

        if you go up a couple of posts, they said they would vote but can't figure out how to log into the wiki

      • Leo_Verto
        mhm, maybe I'm just too purist, but I kinda dislike that practice, second-party voting doesn't guarantee that everyone who expresses to vote on the forums is actually counted
      • 2015-01-28 02808, 2015

      • Leo_Verto
        not that it'd matter in this vote anyways :P

      • CallerNo6
        It feels like that guideline was probably meant for cases where the separator is implied already
      • 2015-01-28 02835, 2015

      • Leo_Verto
        decided against changing that song title and decided to ask the editor why he did it instead https://musicbrainz.org/edit/29744399
      • 2015-01-28 02853, 2015

      • CallerNo6
        (like by a newline, or a supertitle with a list of parts)

      • Leo_Verto
        If there's one thing I have learned about situations like this is that quiet changes tend to lead to passive aggressiveness while communication can solve it quite easily :D
      • 2015-01-28 02809, 2015

      • reosarevok
        Leo_Verto: given the vote is non-binding and I basically get to choose myself, it doesn't matter much :p (although obviously I'm not going to push my view if everyone else is against it - thankfully it seems it's the most popular one :) )
      • 2015-01-28 02823, 2015

      • Leo_Verto
        I don't care that much if you at least keep "feat." :P

        Leo_Verto: cccould be the guesscase did it for them
      • 2015-01-28 02800, 2015

      • reosarevok
        Well, "feat." is unrelated to this, so yeah :)
      • 2015-01-28 02810, 2015

      • reosarevok
        (it's mandated by a separate guideline)
      • 2015-01-28 02808, 2015

      • CatQuest still thinks it's weird that I can use "with" or "&" or "med" but "featuring" is forbidden
      • 2015-01-28 02847, 2015

      • CatQuest
        you guys *do* kow that a lot of track names with "feat." and a lot of artist credits deried from said tracknames *also* were originally "&" or "and"
      • 2015-01-28 02807, 2015

      • CatQuest
        before things like "some guy & some chick" was made to e trackname (feat. some chick")

      • Leo_Verto
        I don'd do that

      • 2015-01-28 02847, 2015

      • CatQuest
        but my question still is. why can I use "and" but not "featuring"
      • 2015-01-28 02830, 2015

      • Leo_Verto
        heh
      • 2015-01-28 02836, 2015

      • Leo_Verto
        because "featuring" is longer
      • 2015-01-28 02813, 2015

      • CatQuest
        erh
      • 2015-01-28 02814, 2015

      • reosarevok
        Well, they're different things. A closer question would be I guess "why can I use 'and' or '&' but 'featuring' must be 'feat.'"
      • 2015-01-28 02816, 2015

      • CatQuest
        that's...
