hi, I have a question about my ISNI and MusicBrainz, there is an incorrect connection, could it be fixed?

eletric_: MusicBrainz is a music database, it doesn't store any music or have links to non-official sources

so basically, you're asking in the wrong place

Hi all, I have a vinyl record I'm currently adding to the database. However, I'm a little confused about how to format the track list.
2023-12-04 33832, 2023
Binzy_Boi
The first track is O Canada, while the next four tracks are the four movements of Beethoven's Sympony no. 7 in A Major.
2023-12-04 33830, 2023
Binzy_Boi
I was curious how I would make the distinction between the two portions. The album in question that I'm working on has a Discogs page here, and I was wondering if there's a way to format the release similarly on MusicBrainz. https://www.discogs.com/release/10998255-Calgary-…
Thanks a bunch. I'll add a vote and provide the album as an example where it would prove useful.
2023-12-04 33803, 2023

Also, while I'm here, I asked this last night, but I have another vinyl record here that has a "Accompanist", "Choral Speech Director", and "Music Director". I was curious how I would credit those roles to a Release.
2023-12-04 33850, 2023
Binzy_Boi
I'm especially interested the the former two as they appear to have been prominent local figures and are the grandparents of NHL player Jarome Iginla.

he title of "music director" or "musical director" is used by many symphony orchestras to designate the primary conductor and artistic leader of the orchestra.
2023-12-04 33831, 2023
Lotheric
I'd say choral speech director would be conductor as well ? I'm not sure
2023-12-04 33829, 2023
Lotheric
is it a classical release ?
2023-12-04 33834, 2023
Binzy_Boi
This one's a record for a local school choir. It's mainly bilingual vocals since it was a bilingual school when it existed, but there are some tracks where flutes or recorders are played.
2023-12-04 33817, 2023
Lotheric
I'd use conductor then
2023-12-04 33829, 2023
Lotheric
you can specify vocals for the relationship
2023-12-04 33834, 2023

2023-12-04 33811, 2023
Binzy_Boi
I'm hoping to learn more about classical works since I'm hoping to clear these records out, but just don't want to get rid of them before contributing the information to the database
2023-12-04 33846, 2023
reosarevok
Binzy_Boi: hi! the tracks for the symphony should be: "Symphony no. 7 in A major: I. Poco sostenuto vivace" etc
2023-12-04 33832, 2023
reosarevok
"accompanist" might mean "piano" but you'd need to listen to be sure, I guess?
2023-12-04 33837, 2023
Binzy_Boi
Thanks! So I do that for the time being while the above ticket is deliberated?
2023-12-04 33816, 2023
Binzy_Boi
Also I'll double-check. I don't have a record player anymore, but I did upload the audio to the Internet Archive while I had my recording setup
2023-12-04 33815, 2023
Binzy_Boi
I do believe it means piano since the lifetime achievement award for her does mention her talents as an accompanist and includes a lot footage of her playing piano

That's how we do for all classical music with movements and whatnot :)
2023-12-04 33828, 2023
reosarevok
And yes, then it's almost certainly piano
2023-12-04 33848, 2023
reosarevok
No idea about choral speech director, but you can always use "miscellaneous" and literally type that in
2023-12-04 33814, 2023
reosarevok
Music director is *often* conductor but not always - is there a conductor credited separate from that?
2023-12-04 33836, 2023
Binzy_Boi
There is not, no
2023-12-04 33855, 2023
reosarevok
Then probably that
2023-12-04 33815, 2023
Binzy_Boi
However, I'm cautious about using conductor here as music wasn't the person's specialty.
2023-12-04 33836, 2023
Binzy_Boi
They were more involved with sports, and likely did this to help his wife, who was the accompanist
2023-12-04 33838, 2023
reosarevok
Do you have a link? :)
2023-12-04 33807, 2023
Binzy_Boi
To the entry yes, but unfortunately there's no online pages outside MusicBrainz as it's very niche.
I'm thinking of donating the album to a local archival society once I'm finished with it here

No cover art yet, ok :) Do you have any scans by any chance?
2023-12-04 33811, 2023
Binzy_Boi
Ah, that's a concern I've been wanting to figure out. I don't have a scanner and don't know where I can access a scanner large enough to capture the full album cover
(but not a native, so I might have still left some bits a bit messed up)
2023-12-04 33838, 2023
Binzy_Boi
So we follow the style as outlined in the guide even if the capitalization on the record/sleeve itself differs?
2023-12-04 33844, 2023
reosarevok
If you know the specific composers for the tracks they would ideally be the track artists (I understand a fair bunch of these are [traditional]
2023-12-04 33846, 2023
reosarevok
)
2023-12-04 33800, 2023
reosarevok
Yes, that's the point of the guide :) (otherwise we'd not need one ;) )
2023-12-04 33811, 2023
Binzy_Boi
Perf, thanks for the insight. I'll be sure to follow through with that. The capitalization formatting should also help me with Open Food Facts as well as most the products I work with are in both English and French

I'll try to scan at the library, and if they don't have a scanner large enough for the album cover, I'll try and see if the local archives do.
2023-12-04 33844, 2023

Everything else I have thankfully seems to have their covers online already

I'll go for that as a last resort.

Thanks for the help, greatly appreciate it all. Hope I'm not asking too much here, and if I am, I'm more than fine being directed to the proper documentation
