        I'm trying to respond to the request in http://lists.musicbrainz.org/pipermail/musicbrain…, but am a little unsure about the correct values for some of the fields

        cjk32: what’s this e-mail without context I really don’t understand

        Should I just commit the page with my best attempt and as for corrections, or is it important to get a clean history on the page?

        jesus2099: An RFC to add a "partial" attribute to the [recording] is a performance of [work] relationship.
      • 2011-06-03 15425, 2011

      • nikki
        normally you'd copy the page to proposal:some_relationship_type (although we don't have a page for the performance one yet, do we?) and then make your changes
      • 2011-06-03 15428, 2011

      • jesus2099
        oh ... it will complexify stuff only
      • 2011-06-03 15436, 2011

      • nikki
        I wouldn't worry too much about the page history
      • 2011-06-03 15440, 2011

      • jesus2099
        it’s most often partial anyway
      • 2011-06-03 15405, 2011

      • jesus2099
        or often longer also ... I xould avoid adding distinction
      • 2011-06-03 15421, 2011

      • jesus2099
        useless
      • 2011-06-03 15423, 2011

      • jesus2099
        ;)
      • 2011-06-03 15421, 2011

      • reosarevok
        jesus2099: it is important for classical
      • 2011-06-03 15435, 2011

      • jesus2099
        ah, really ?
      • 2011-06-03 15449, 2011

      • jesus2099
        ok :)

        And experimental and such
      • 2011-06-03 15404, 2011

      • reosarevok
        It's common to have a piece that's like 40 minutes long
      • 2011-06-03 15405, 2011

      • jesus2099
        but don’t count on someone like me using this funny stuff
      • 2011-06-03 15414, 2011

      • reosarevok
        But not performed in its entirety
      • 2011-06-03 15424, 2011

      • jesus2099
        because it would theorically apply when the stuff is shorter by 5 seconds also
      • 2011-06-03 15444, 2011

      • nikki
        that's what guidelines are for
      • 2011-06-03 15446, 2011

      • reosarevok
        jesus2099: it's mostly meant for what you would call an "excerpt"
      • 2011-06-03 15450, 2011

      • jesus2099
        and what to do when there is additional solos and the recording is LONGER than works héhé
      • 2011-06-03 15430, 2011

      • reosarevok
        (normally marked as "excerpt" or "fragment")
      • 2011-06-03 15433, 2011

      • cjk32
        nikki: I couldn't see a page for the performance relationship, but wasn't sure that I was looking in the correct place. So far, I've based it other RFCs, but I'm unsure about the correct class.
      • 2011-06-03 15452, 2011

      • jesus2099
        ok, let me go

        I question the usefulness of class, personally.

      • reosarevok

      • 2011-06-03 15406, 2011

      • reosarevok
        Also, it would need some guideline to say that it shouldn't be used to link recordings of movements to the main piece
      • 2011-06-03 15445, 2011

      • cjk32
        nikki: Will correct on both fronts...

        Is there a wiki page giving an overview of all the relationships? I would expect to see one linked from http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Style/Relationships but there’s not…
      • 2011-06-03 15421, 2011

      • kepstin-laptop
        hawke__: there isn't, but it would be nice to have :)
      • 2011-06-03 15447, 2011

      • kepstin-laptop
        (it's annoyingly difficult to find documentation for a particular relationship on the wiki...)
      • 2011-06-03 15454, 2011

      • hawke__
        Yeah, that’s what I was thinking too.
      • 2011-06-03 15407, 2011

      • kepstin-laptop
        I always end up just using google search to find them, at least google indexes the wiki.
      • 2011-06-03 15410, 2011

      • hawke__
        Something like http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Style but with relationships instead

      • 2011-06-03 15422, 2011

      • hawke__
        I kinda don’t like the phrase “relationship type” though.
      • 2011-06-03 15447, 2011

      • hawke__
        it seems to me that the type would be more Work-Work, Work-Recording, that kind of thing

        question: there is a song that appears in a film. at the end title the artist of the song is credited with a pseudonym. the artist doesn't exist. in an interview the director of the film explains that he wrote it. it did not appear on any soundtrack. which name should I use for the artist?
      • 2011-06-03 15448, 2011

      • Shisma
        the real director name or the pseudonym?
      • 2011-06-03 15411, 2011

      • kepstin-laptop
        or maybe the real director name with the pseudonym as an artist credit?
      • 2011-06-03 15419, 2011

      • hawke__
        That’s what I would do
      • 2011-06-03 15419, 2011

      • Shisma
        okay
      • 2011-06-03 15421, 2011

      • Shisma
        never did this before
      • 2011-06-03 15434, 2011

      • Shisma
        can i do this in a artist->work relationship?
      • 2011-06-03 15406, 2011

      • reosarevok
        Actually, no
      • 2011-06-03 15407, 2011

      • reosarevok
        :(
      • 2011-06-03 15411, 2011

      • kepstin-laptop
        hmm. no, relationships can only use the artist's primary name right now.

        Well, we have "performs as"
      • 2011-06-03 15442, 2011

      • reosarevok
        You could use that
      • 2011-06-03 15413, 2011

      • Shisma
        yeah, great
      • 2011-06-03 15438, 2011

      • Shisma
        oh, if there the song only appears in a movie, nor in the soundtrack. is it a record?
      • 2011-06-03 15448, 2011

      • Shisma
        or just a work?
      • 2011-06-03 15445, 2011

      • kepstin-laptop
        Shisma: you could add it as a standalone recording.
      • 2011-06-03 15433, 2011

      • hawke__
        I’d add it as a standalone recording, with an Artist Credit to the pseudonym
      • 2011-06-03 15451, 2011

      • hawke__
        Though…was it performed by the director as well?
      • 2011-06-03 15455, 2011

      • hawke__
        or did someone else perform it?

      • 2011-06-03 15423, 2011

      • hawke__
        If it’s a single-instrument song and he knows the instrument in question, maybe he performed it too.

        can anyone explain me why Picard mapping of MBIDs differs between ID3 and other formats? http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Picard_Tag_Mapping

      • Dremora
        well, that's a good reason %)
      • 2011-06-03 15448, 2011

      • Dremora
        and then it was kept for the sake of compatibility?

      • nikki
        yep

        I wonder what should I use in foo_musicbrainz

        I received this question about incompatibility between files tagged by the plugin and Picard

      • ruaok
        I'd suggest writing what picard uses and still being able to read tags written with previous foo plugins.

      • Dremora
        but this will create a hell for users who have music in different formats and expect the same tag found under same name across all the formats
      • 2011-06-03 15412, 2011

      • ruaok
        how many people really care about that?
      • 2011-06-03 15431, 2011

      • ruaok
        dont most people just want their tags to have the right data?
      • 2011-06-03 15404, 2011

      • Dremora
        well, probably. but why not to change this behavior in picard?
      • 2011-06-03 15443, 2011

      • Dremora
        does it need to read these tags at all?
      • 2011-06-03 15459, 2011

      • nikki thinks if people can handle TIT2 or whatever in id3 versus TITLE in vorbis, they can handle variations in mb tags too :P
