      • SultS
        KRSCuan: your second edit note is missing the edit #
      • 2013-05-29 14933, 2013

      • reosarevok
        no!
      • 2013-05-29 14938, 2013

      • reosarevok
        It's missing the bit after that
      • 2013-05-29 14940, 2013

      • reosarevok hides
      • 2013-05-29 14951, 2013

      • SultS
        were you waiting to say that? :P
      • 2013-05-29 14959, 2013

      • reosarevok
        no :p
      • 2013-05-29 14907, 2013

      • reosarevok shrugs - both options work for me
      • 2013-05-29 14950, 2013

      • SultS
        yes from me, the last name edit (or was it merge) was disastrous
      • 2013-05-29 14951, 2013

      • reosarevok
        Beyoncé just seems simpler because it avoids having to fix stuff by all the random users who don't set the credit
      • 2013-05-29 14932, 2013

      • SultS
        I would rather have 2 artist pages, but that works too
      • 2013-05-29 14937, 2013

      • reosarevok
        For writing credits, tbh the only important bit of those is probably "written by 859d0860-d480-4efd-970c-c05d5f1776b8" - the name on them seems minor
      • 2013-05-29 14917, 2013

      • SultS
        not to my music player :)
      • 2013-05-29 14944, 2013

      • reosarevok
        Why? As long as they're consistent, I don't see a way it would matter in a music player
      • 2013-05-29 14955, 2013

      • reosarevok
        You can still easily find all compositions by her
      • 2013-05-29 14911, 2013

      • simukis_
      • 2013-05-29 14927, 2013

      • SultS
        I don’t have Beyonce in my playlist, but I have other artists, that do different stuff with different aliases, and I could still find/sort them with real name
      • 2013-05-29 14909, 2013

      • reosarevok
        SultS: isn't that a legal-name-alias issue though?
      • 2013-05-29 14920, 2013

      • SultS
        simukis_: what about it?
      • 2013-05-29 14932, 2013

      • hawke_1
        I also *really* don’t know why the main name wouldn’t even be her current name…
      • 2013-05-29 14950, 2013

      • simukis_
        SultS: still no reconsideration?
      • 2013-05-29 14945, 2013

      • SultS
        reosarevok: you can’t have have an artist alias in your tags as performer/producer/etc, afaik
      • 2013-05-29 14953, 2013

      • SultS
        simukis_: I haven’t gotten to it yet
      • 2013-05-29 14930, 2013

      • simukis_
        SultS: Ok. If you'll be interested, I can provide you with the tracks as well as the merged-aligned version 😊
      • 2013-05-29 14951, 2013

      • SultS
        simukis_: oh, digital copies usually are unmixed… have you checked track durations?
      • 2013-05-29 14930, 2013

      • reosarevok
        SultS: and you can have the legal name rel? If that's the case, please enter a ticket to allow the legal name alias
      • 2013-05-29 14935, 2013

      • simukis_
        yup, they match.
      • 2013-05-29 14922, 2013

      • reosarevok
        hawke_1: I really don't want to go around having to clean up every single place where editors use the full name because they are lazy / don't understand credits :/
      • 2013-05-29 14908, 2013

      • hawke_1
        reosarevok: sure, but isn’t that a point in favor of “Beyoncé”?
      • 2013-05-29 14936, 2013

      • reosarevok
        hawke_1: sure, I thought "current name" in your comment was "Beyoncé Knowles-Carter"
      • 2013-05-29 14939, 2013

      • simukis_
        only it's more like 0:05:35.255 here rather than 0:05:34.
      • 2013-05-29 14953, 2013

      • SultS
        reosarevok: if I have performance and legal name artists, I can use credits for performance name and link actual performance to the legal name… and those will go both to tags…
      • 2013-05-29 14914, 2013

      • hawke_1
        reosarevok: Between: Beyoncé / Beyoncé Knowles / Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, isn’t “Beyoncé Knowles” (which that edit suggests) the worst of all worlds?
      • 2013-05-29 14950, 2013

      • SultS
        simukis_: that sounds to me like you have the unmixed release
      • 2013-05-29 14938, 2013

      • SultS
        simukis_: it is very common with edm music, that CD version is mixed, and downloadable releases are unmixed tracks + single mixed track (containing the mix that’s on cd)
      • 2013-05-29 14904, 2013

      • hawke_1
        reosarevok: So my preference is: actual performing name (Beyoncé), Current “real” name (Beyoncé Knowles-Carter); former name/occasional credited name in liner notes (Beyoncé Knowles)
      • 2013-05-29 14954, 2013

      • KRSCuan
        SultS: That message shouldn't have been there anyway.
      • 2013-05-29 14901, 2013

      • SultS
        ok :)
      • 2013-05-29 14906, 2013

      • KRSCuan
        Pastefail, and it's correct where it should be.
      • 2013-05-29 14942, 2013

      • SultS
        Le Café Abstrait though
      • 2013-05-29 14955, 2013

      • simukis_
        SultS: Are you sure? By “they match” I meant that track length of tracks I have matches ones in musicbrainz “mixed” album by 1% error. (see https://gist.github.com/anonymous/f7d61b98ba8e333…)
      • 2013-05-29 14920, 2013

      • simukis_
        oh, a second, I'll get you a link with the tracks :)
      • 2013-05-29 14919, 2013

      • SultS
        oh, I misunderstood then
      • 2013-05-29 14925, 2013

      • SultS
        I will listen to them :)
      • 2013-05-29 14950, 2013

      • simukis_
        Should I also upload a merged-aligned version?
      • 2013-05-29 14942, 2013

      • SultS
        so from what release is the first one from? track 20 seems off
      • 2013-05-29 14939, 2013

      • simukis_
        it's from the mix. The beginning is cut off a bit.

      • 2013-05-29 14954, 2013

      • simukis_
        oh if you're asking about track number then whatever I have simply continues numbering from there disc 1 has left off…
      • 2013-05-29 14957, 2013

      • SultS
        and the ending as well
      • 2013-05-29 14900, 2013

      • SultS
        is cut
      • 2013-05-29 14922, 2013

      • simukis_
        that's right.
      • 2013-05-29 14939, 2013

      • simukis_
        otherwise they sound completely the same to me.
      • 2013-05-29 14918, 2013

      • SultS
        well, the differences are small, but they are still there… it’s more than just one fading out earliel, imo
      • 2013-05-29 14906, 2013

      • SultS
        the mixed one probably just starts with the new track a little bit earlier
      • 2013-05-29 14958, 2013

      • simukis_
        It's rather hard to hear the beginning of Sombrero in the end of https://musicbrainz.org/recording/357c70a6-6ba9-4… simply because Original one starts off (as well as ends) rather quietly.
      • 2013-05-29 14945, 2013

      • SultS
        maybe you can hear the end of Sombrero at the beginning of track 21? :)

      • 2013-05-29 14956, 2013

      • SultS
        but that’s how it usually is with chillout mixes
      • 2013-05-29 14911, 2013

      • SultS
        it’s often one fading out, other fading in
      • 2013-05-29 14904, 2013

      • KRSCuan
        <reosarevok> (for cases with only one performance name, both seem to be equally valid) ← I could argue that Sasha Fierce should be added as a performance name, so we need Beyoncé and Beyoncé Knowles as separate artists too! :p
      • 2013-05-29 14911, 2013

      • simukis_
        SultS: Hmm, the beginning of track 21 doesn't have anything of the sombrero's ending. But well, Sombrero's ending is also really quiet.
      • 2013-05-29 14955, 2013

      • SultS
        :D maybe listening to the whole release helps then :P
      • 2013-05-29 14941, 2013

      • SultS
        but I do think it’s the case of simultaneous fade out - fade in
      • 2013-05-29 14942, 2013

      • simukis_
        I should stich up those tracks together.
      • 2013-05-29 14955, 2013

      • SultS
        yeah, that could help as well
      • 2013-05-29 14928, 2013

      • Kovensky
        hm, these were more changes than I expected...
      • 2013-05-29 14948, 2013

      • Kovensky
        can the nice people in the channel vote for today's changes in http://musicbrainz.org/user/Kovensky/edits/open ? :)
      • 2013-05-29 14909, 2013

        hi derwin
      • 2013-05-29 14911, 2013

      • derwin
        most of those changes won't be visible from any tool anyway?
      • 2013-05-29 14902, 2013

      • Kovensky
        they will
      • 2013-05-29 14917, 2013

      • Kovensky
        composer/lyricist tags, if you enable relationship tags in Picard
      • 2013-05-29 14906, 2013

      • simukis_
        SultS: Actually it doesn't sound like a crossfade at all now that I've stiched them up. 19-20 transitions quite beautifully so you could even think they crossfade… but it is not a case with 20-21 transition which is abrupt.

      • 2013-05-29 14925, 2013

      • Kovensky
        and how it affects relationship add searches
      • 2013-05-29 14937, 2013

      • simukis_
        you can hear some 21st in the end of 20th, but not 20th in 21st.
      • 2013-05-29 14944, 2013

      • reosarevok
        Kovensky: those are shown on the web interface while pending

        (ok, not the removals)
      • 2013-05-29 14903, 2013

      • reosarevok isn't sure how this music works, but are you sure based on is right?
      • 2013-05-29 14913, 2013

      • simukis_
        Oh well, I'll just cancel this one… too much of pain to merge it and it's not like I care that much 😃
      • 2013-05-29 14914, 2013

      • reosarevok
        Does it take only the basic melodies and rewrite the rest?
      • 2013-05-29 14920, 2013

      • Kovensky
        reosarevok: pretty much
      • 2013-05-29 14925, 2013

      • Kovensky
        the structure is different, it only shares some motifs
      • 2013-05-29 14941, 2013

      • Kovensky
        e.g. the singer follows the original song's melody, but the instruments are completely different, etc
      • 2013-05-29 14913, 2013

      • Kovensky
        or the melody is only followed in the chorus, while the rest of the song is completely different, things like that
      • 2013-05-29 14938, 2013

      • reosarevok
        ok, that does sound like a reasonable use of based on then I guess
      • 2013-05-29 14950, 2013

      • reosarevok is just not used to see it used outside classical
      • 2013-05-29 14909, 2013

      • Kovensky
        yeah, the doujin community is weird since it encourages derivative works
      • 2013-05-29 14937, 2013

      • Kovensky
        while modern mainstream music avoids that because of copyright issues
      • 2013-05-29 14955, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        hmm, you're doing stuff on alstroemeria records, eh :)
      • 2013-05-29 14911, 2013

      • kepstin-work put a lot of work into getting that to the state where it is, but never completely finished cleaning them up
      • 2013-05-29 14914, 2013

      • Kovensky
        (doujin music *is* a gray area, but some composers such as ZUN (of Touhou) gives license for doujin people to use his works)
      • 2013-05-29 14937, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        ZUN's wording on that is basically the same as CC-BY-NC
      • 2013-05-29 14948, 2013

      • Kovensky
        no, you can use it commercially
      • 2013-05-29 14954, 2013

      • Kovensky
        as long as you sell on doujin events
      • 2013-05-29 14915, 2013

      • Kovensky
        he doesn't like digital distribution at all though
      • 2013-05-29 14927, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        eastnewsound has released stuff on itunes, but they've only released their original works there :)
      • 2013-05-29 14900, 2013

      • SultS
        simukis_: but how does it *look* like? looking at the waveform here the ending of the track is certainly abrupt… also I wouldn’t merge recordings, if I had some suspicion one of them was part of a mix

      • SultS
        <simukis_> you can hear some 21st in the end of 20th, but not 20th in 21st. → that would certainly make it mixed and a different recording
      • 2013-05-29 14956, 2013

      • Kovensky
        kepstin-work: yeah, "based on" is a more specific version of "later version of"
      • 2013-05-29 14911, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        the wording for the 'based on' ar is a bit strange, tho
      • 2013-05-29 14933, 2013

      • Kovensky
        and "later version of" to me means that ZUN's composition is a "previous version of" ._.
      • 2013-05-29 14939, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        "The new work must be a new composition, not just an arrangement or the same music with different or translated lyrics. "
      • 2013-05-29 14940, 2013

      • Kovensky
        while they're not revisions of the same base work
      • 2013-05-29 14901, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        while for the touhou arrange works, there is typically no (credited) additional composition
      • 2013-05-29 14909, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        so by that, 'based on' doesn't fit
      • 2013-05-29 14931, 2013

      • simukis_
        such a distinction of recording might make it so ALL recordings become seperate, because it's too hard to validate them being not mix…
      • 2013-05-29 14949, 2013

      • Kovensky
        kepstin-work: there's also the "has arrangement" relation
      • 2013-05-29 14908, 2013

      • Kovensky
        but "is the basis for" fits it best IMO
      • 2013-05-29 14920, 2013

      • SultS
        simukis_: not really… releasy type already gives a pretty good idea :) and the ones you are relatively safe to merge, usually have both the same name and duration
      • 2013-05-29 14928, 2013

      • SultS
        release*
      • 2013-05-29 14937, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        yeah; I wonder if we should just put a proposal through to change the wording in the 'is the basis for' relationship
      • 2013-05-29 14953, 2013

        I think it was meant specifically to exclude stuff like hip-hop beats.

        <<random hip-hop song>> "is based on" "Amen, Brother" by "The Winstons"

        well, by "beat" I mean a complete backing track which is used as-is on multiple vocal tracks, with different lyrics.

        Kovensky: I actually started adding "contains samples of" for "Amen, Brother" and "Can You Feel It" by Mr. Fingers

        Kovensky: presumably each of them could have tens of thousands of such relationships..

        "group" is iffy tho, since it's only one person ;)

        there's no better category than "group" in MB though <_<

        btw, there may be levels of nerd-dom.. 1) plays touhou 2) listens to touhou music 3) listens to touhou doujin music 4) enters touhou doujin music into mb 5) has an opinion on style of touhou doujin music on mb

      • kepstin-work sucks at shmups in general and touhou in particular.

        <kepstin-work> well, by "beat" I mean a complete backing track which is used as-is on multiple vocal tracks, with different lyrics. <-- one of my dad's coworkers used to, like 10 years ago, take very old instrumental reggae recordings and record his own singing on top of it

        that's one perfect example for what wouldn't qualify for the "based on" relationship
      • 2013-05-29 14907, 2013

      • Kovensky
        he'd send it to local reggae radios for playback

      • Kovensky
        if those were added to musicbrainz my 12yo self would be credited with (additional? he *was* supervising / teaching me) mastering (lol)
      • 2013-05-29 14956, 2013

      • kepstin-work
        but yeah; many of these touhou "arrange" songs are really new compositions based on zun's music, just without the additional composition credited :/
      • 2013-05-29 14906, 2013

      • Kovensky
        indeed
      • 2013-05-29 14916, 2013

      • Kovensky
        they never credit themselves as composers
      • 2013-05-29 14925, 2013

      • Kovensky
        unless they say it's an original track
