To composing a score based on existing parts where huge chunks are missing

"has a miscellaneous role on" ?

I suppose there’s always that

is possible as work-artist-relation, so i would use that if anything else fails - is he credited in an ISWC database as composer/arranger?

i found one work yesterday, where the reconstruction was based on so many missing parts, that the person who did it was credited as composer

I don’t see the work in http://iswcnet.cisac.org

damn!

ARG i hate this mouse wheel

it can scroll up but not down

WTF

natt

pray for me that i can get some sleep tonight finally

a broken mousewheel gives you sleepless nights?

it's still acceptable in NGS to have composition/arrangement/performance/whatever ARs between artists and releases (rather than between artists and recordings) if the source information is not specific enough, right?

flamingspinach: yeah

k

Very annoying..

IBOGACD83: http://www.discogs.com/Atmos-604/release/4072674 IBO2CD083: http://www.psyshop.com/shop/CDs/ibo/ibo2cd083.html same tracklisting

and then: IBOGACD83: http://www.beatport.com/release/604/998652 21 songs instead.

I wonder if discogs got it wrong.. such that the discogs one is really IBO2CD083 as well.

The additional annoying thing is that the official page of Atmos links to discogs for its discography.

It seems like the CD and the Web release have the same catalog numbers, and it's also possible that psyshop has got its catalog number, IBO2CD083, wrong, and psyshop should really have IBOGACD83 like the others.

I'd quite forgotten how useful hard links are for experimenting with renaming files

nano-, I had a japanese CD like that. the label, iTunes, and Amazon listings for the same album were all different.

*rage* :D

Should Japanese artists' sort names have commas in them?

Since surname given name is the standard order anyway, the comma seems inappropriate

(since for non-Hungarian western names the comma signifies order reversal)

I've assumed sort name is always grounded in English

or perhaps latin

so?

flamingspinach: IMO sort names shouldn’t have any punctuation for any language but that’s just me.

really? it's pretty well-accepted in English I think

like, Michael Jackson would be "Jackson, Michael", right?

not "Jackson Michael" surely

or are you suggesting "Michael Jackson"?

I would be suggesting "Jackson Michael" because the commas don’t really have any meaning and get nasty when you get into titles or generational indicators.

Not anything official of course there

just my own opinion

flamingspinach: yes, we use commas to separate surnames and forenames even if the surname is already first
