Hey, question about linking recordings and works. Is there a standard when a recording is part of larger work. For example, should one just link movement 2 of a symphony to that movement, or should one also link it to the symphony as a partial recording? Both ways seem reasonable, but the former seems more DRY.

Also, what do you do if there is no smaller work? For example, all 1509 tracks in the audiobook of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix are linked as partial works of the novel. There are no partial works (chapters or whatever), so I guess this is the best one can do.

toddobryan, correct, linking to the sub-work is preferred and DRY is preferred.

Of course, there are always exceptions. I trust the editors who worked on HP&tOotF who decided chapters wouldn't improve the data.

eh..

fry?

dry?

anyway link the movement to the recording of the movement

partial of the whole symphony is only for when it isn't known which movement it is

CallerNo6: wth is "DRY" ???

i thoght first "the right methord" de righ.. but that's all wrong

Deranged acRonym usageY

CatQuest: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_repeat_yo...

um.. toc a sec to understand you weren't dissing me 😹

reosarevok: actually I was wondering (I as going to pm you but here is better? (oh no)) we have https://beta.musicbrainz.org/instrument/3590521... but wp actually has it as "cor anglais" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cor_anglais

also many recording credits are that as well

should we rename maybe?

(seems logicla to me)

(especially since this instrument is neither a horn nor english 😹)

(a rareexample of instrument for locales (apparently us.en should be "English horn"))

seems the wast mayority uses cor anglais

or such derivative

hm not that it really matters, but cor anglais wins google fight :D

(now i wish there was a duckduckgo fight :(

CatQuest: well, "cor anglais" still claims it's a horn and English, it just claims it in French :p

But I'm fine with either name being the "primary" name

kuno (or other dutch) is the caps on "Althobo" correct here: https://beta.musicbrainz.org/instrument/3590521... ?

CatQuest: I guess it should just be all lowercase?

aha! i will lowercase it :D

(i did think so)

but "Engelse" should be uppercase?
