So… how do y’all handle creating a new classical release? I put in the performers (as album credited) and all the tracks, then changed each track to have composer credits, and submitted. Then I needed to edit each recording to have proper classical-style artist credits… and now I have to wait 7 days for approval. Surely there is a better way?

Hmm well I'm an auto-editor so I don't face that problem *brushes dust off shoulder*, but couldn't you do it the other way round? e.g. do the recordings correct first, then edit the track credits. Because you have a window where edits to new releases will go through immediately

Feel free to link to the edits so editors can vote/put them through btw

Hello, I've an error while adding an entry.

Errors are : " Vous n’avez pas saisi de crédit d’artiste complet." (but everything is filled)

and : "Vous devez saisir un titre et choisir un artiste pour chaque piste." but again, everything filled...

see : https://upload.disroot.org/r/kWnzy7La#ze5ZbofgW... and https://upload.disroot.org/r/uaqfZLv0#27x9B3YL4...

crism: aerozol: afaik there is also an usercsript that lets you set trackartists from relationship rels (ie it will set whoever "performer/vocal/instrument/orchestra") very useful for classical

reo links it in his classical toolkit community post iirc

CatQuest: thanks, I’ll look for that. I don’t do a lot of classical. aerozol: thanks for the suggestion; open edits are https://beta.musicbrainz.org/release/2c4793ab-d...

crism: do the composer also perform in this case?

*these cases

No, these composers are all dead AFAIK.

ah then they should not be in the recording-artist credit

no matter i'll edit if for you

CatQuest: my understanding was that a classical recording should have the artist set to: “composer; performer, performer, performer”. E.g., https://musicbrainz.org/recording/61ccd9bf-1ff2...

… but it looks like that one is in error, compared to others. I had a bad template, sorry.

I should have left the recording artists the same as the album, then overridden the track lists in a subsequent edit. TIL…

yea!

Corrected; new edits for review, thank you: https://musicbrainz.org/release/2c4793ab-d506-4...

oh crism you are too fast I was eating andthen going to make these edits for you.

I'll approve these edits too!

it looks great now https://beta.musicbrainz.org/release/2c4793ab-d...

Thanks, CatQuest!

no prob!

jybz, you need to select an artist for each track (turning the field green). This can be done by clicking the magnifying glass icon on the artist field.

rdswift: none artirst is know

Sorry, but I'm not sure I understand. Do you mean that you don't know any of the artists?

Ooh you're going to get to play with the modifier button 😛

Or that you can't find them in the database?

They do not exist in the DB

I've to add them, but I've a white page popup.

oh ho, thne we can all add them

hmm

From the artist matching popup (when you click the magnifying glass icon) there should be an option at the bottom to add a new artist. This will bring up another dialog where you add the artist. When you enter the edit, that artist is then selected automatically.

so that popup is not loding anything?

jybz: any luck?

I got it ! https://musicbrainz.org/release/3d2b6650-311c-4...

Actually, I was disconnected (timeout ?) so I had blank pop-up

How to fix a name ?

I think it is Daphné and not Daphne https://musicbrainz.org/artist/871418d3-28ac-41... (or, it is someone else, living in the same country (france) with the same family name (not from france) also doing music. Very high coincidence)

Found it !

Why my request #90749364 has been automatically applied ?!

Amazing work!!!

I think changing certain characters, or capitalization etc, is an auto-edit? Let me check the docs

Ok, in order to print entry in KDE Dolphin, it is necessary to close and restart Dolphin... -_-

Can't find anything in the docs but I think it's because it's just slightly changing a character :D

Looks like the same artist, I added some links to their page

jybz: certain classes of edits are automatically applied

jybz: for example changing "CASE" to "case"

So many notifications of zos18 removing dead Bandcamp url relationships, ahhh. Let's take a minute to mourn all the releases we couldn't add in time T^T

it's very ⛈ ⛈ tonight here now, stay safe everybody

aerozol: ah, it's possible to still get the import from Bandcamp importscript to work with wayback links atleast!

ooh I didn't know that! very cool

you have to tinker with it, but itworked for me (some time ago. also made itwork in vivaldi more recently, but there was a bit of difference between the two. i dont remember what)

adding

/ @include http*://web.archive.org/web/*

to the ff one worked stleast

just a heads up: if I am offline (catquest) tomorrow (because the thundestorm is huge tonight and my connection company is shit on usual days anyway) you can talk to KassOtsimine instead
