evelyn: et all. I know I'm beeing obtuse here but.. uh. why is not having durations on a vinyl release desirable? I mean...
I get that it's a bug that yo ucant remove those durations
that's a bug
but vinyl release witouth durations are a pita imho
and here. you say you're basing the release on another (later) cd release - that's where the durations coem from....
and it saves time connecting the recordings too... but the thing is. then those durations should be *valid* for that inyl. if they whren't, then that release shouldn't be based on the other release, those recordings shouldn't be te same as the cd ones
(I although totally agree that even with this, removing durations in tracklist (?:??) -> duration is retained after all = totally a bug)

CatQuest: no, this is independent of the recordings
even if you don't reuse the recordings it still uses the durations that were there before
CatQuest
yea because you use the *release* which has a tracklist, and the tracklist has durations

Let's say the half the tracks are 30 seconds longer (although the exact lengths are unknown), I reuse half the recordings and add new recordings for the rest. The old trackklist lengths still sit there.
It's not actually clear what is preserved when basing it on another release - to my mind it's only what I can see, and it's doing something behind the scenes that I can't see then.
