are sortnames searched when looking searching for an artist?

ruaok: Er, sorry to hassle you, but apparently there's a module missing for YAUB: Finance::Currency::Convert::XE.

umm, has anyone ever seen this error before? I've hit the limit for what tracknamelength could be used in the past, and never had modbot cancel for "track name is too long"... http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=7351094

For whatever reason, I was allowed to go beyond 255 chars here, (the "k" in "Look is char 256), but then it looks like wierdness happened

ugh, crap releases

yes, for a full track title of "Half-Act Opera: The Stoned Guest, Part One: I. Overture / II. Aria: “Let’s fact it—I’m lost” / III. Recitative: “Boy!” / IV. Aria: “Now is the season” / V. Recitative: “Gesundheit!” / VI. Duet: “Woe” / VII. Recitative: “Hark!” / VIII. Aria: “Look at me” / IX. Recitative: “That’s the end” / X. Trio: “I’m sure I’d be”"

should've been seperate tracks on the disc, sue the publisher

BrianFreud
Normally I'd agree, but in this case, the track title is part of the joke - the track is all of 23:46

I wish Windows/etc would get rid of the path/file name limit, or make it something like 1026 chars :(

do flac/mp3 tags have such limits? i don't particularly care about the filenames.
We weren't sure if "Kaori Fujii" also needed to be an alias, figured that was the other place Picard could be pulling it from.

it should be a sort name

luks: you replied yes to, 'Is that way sortnames are supposed to always be in latin?'
2007-08-14 22633, 2007
BrianFreud
it's also in as an edit to add to sortname, so all is cool :)
2007-08-14 22650, 2007
luks
but one thing.. please don't use picard as a reason for doing edits in MB
2007-08-14 22657, 2007
luks
or voting

BrianFreud
oh, sure
2007-08-14 22614, 2007

luks: but i don't think picard is the reason sortnames have to be latin, i thought the reason was something else... and picard just takes advantage of it.
2007-08-14 22619, 2007
luks
if it follows the SG and it breaks picard then it's picard's problem
2007-08-14 22635, 2007
luks
warp: I know, but I've seen people using it as an argument
2007-08-14 22652, 2007
luks
for example to format them in a specific way so that picard can reverse them correctly
2007-08-14 22604, 2007
BrianFreud
no, it's was a non-SG issue - more "where do progs get the latin-version from", not just where does picard get it from
2007-08-14 22626, 2007
warp
luks: if picard reverses them incorrectly, that's a picard bug... not a wrong sortname. IMO
2007-08-14 22628, 2007
luks
no, applications are not supposed to use sort names for latin version of artist names
2007-08-14 22633, 2007
luks
warp: I know
2007-08-14 22647, 2007
warp
luks: ok, then we agree :)

as I said, it's an ugly hack
2007-08-14 22606, 2007
warp
yes
2007-08-14 22607, 2007
luks
sortnames should follow the name
2007-08-14 22619, 2007
BrianFreud
luks, by the way, one of the recent enhancement reqs has been something I'd wanted for a while too. Any chance we could have "presets" for file naming?
2007-08-14 22622, 2007
luks
and we should add 'latin name' and 'latin sortname'
2007-08-14 22631, 2007
BrianFreud
agreed :)
2007-08-14 22638, 2007
luks
presets are very tricky things to add
2007-08-14 22604, 2007
BrianFreud
I just added a few in Hangul yesterday where I have no idea what the latin form would be, so until they get changed, they have sortnames in Hangul
2007-08-14 22604, 2007
luks
could you make me a list of options which should be in presets and which ones should be common?
2007-08-14 22612, 2007
BrianFreud
since sortname is manditory when adding an artist
2007-08-14 22626, 2007
BrianFreud
luks: No, not pre-defined presets
2007-08-14 22630, 2007

I'd leave just

BrianFreud: just point me at them, and i'll transliterate them.
