Hi all: I've uploaded data for a CD with Christmas music and credits two performers, but not any composers. But I entered the composer name in the "Artist" field. How can I add credits for the performers, and indicate that "Artist" is actually the composer?

...and how should I have done this correctly in the first place?

Also, the two performer entries I created were deleted by ModBot, before I had the chance to add them to the recordings... Annoying...
I did read the fine manual (wiki), but it has not cleared things up for me

bobjonkman, the performers should be listed as the artists on the tracks (unless it is classical music), and then the tracks should be linked to the appropriate works using the relationship editor. Because all of these are well known works, I expect thatthe composers should already be attached to the works.

thx rdswift. Because many tracks are traditional/old/well-known I thought this was more like classical music than modern pop. I'll re-edit the CD to put the performer in as "Artist".

All in all, I find the term "Artist" somewhat ambiguous. I'd much rather have explicit fields like "Performer", "Composer", "Arranger", &c.

rdswift
Those are actually identifed as relationships on the tracks (but not composer, which is attached to the work).

i'll add the work for the first track so you can see what I mean.
2022-12-12 34635, 2022
rdswift
Sorry, I guess arranger is also attached to the work.

I'll get the hang of it eventually. I'm the self-appointed librarian for a community radio station, so I understand the importance of getting things right (and even more importantly, being consistent!)

Think of "artist" as a sort of generic term for the person or group doing the work, and the relationship specifies their role with respect to the entity.
2022-12-12 34658, 2022
rdswift
The entities are things like "Albums / Releases", "Tracks", "Recordings" and "Works".

When entering things like performer relationships against a track, you can specify many different types of roles from things like "Recording Engineer" to "Mixer" to "Producer", and even what instruments a performer played on a track.

The system is pretty powerful and thus a bit complicated, but once you work with it a while before long it actually begins to make sense.
