If you're fine with asking them, having legal name information can be very valuable as e.g. the mentioned performance rights databases often work with them

elomatreb[m]: I have used "[legal name of Eggs Spam]" style "legal names" in the past where I couldn’t find one for the purpose of linking entities together.

(E.g., if I know that X is a grandchild of Y but I don’t know the parent/child name in between, I would create one called "[parent of X, child of Y]".)

yeah that feels like an acceptable last resort too

Although I do end up wondering if the "performs as" relationship wouldn't be better off it were symmetrical

Well, it’s also used for instances where the legal name does not perform. :)

is picard of any use for albums without release in MB db? can it be used to submit new releases?
2021-06-07 15857, 2021

p9: you can still save tags for those files, and use tags to rename
2021-06-07 15836, 2021
outsidecontext
and there is the addrelease plugin that helps you submit new releases from clustered files in Picard

is it more convenient than submitting through web?
2021-06-07 15808, 2021
elomatreb[m]
It can be, it pre-fills data like track durations which can be annoying to type out by hand
2021-06-07 15848, 2021
outsidecontext
it is still submitting via web interface, but prefills data
