I need some help

I'm not a native English speaker

Is 'ova' in this title a preposition ? (I think it is)

Murdered Ova Nuttin’

ans should it be lowercased ?

3 word preposition should

~word/letter I mean

so I guess is what I'm asking: Murdered ova Nuttin’ (over) Murdered Ova Nuttin’ (hehe)

same question for 'Wit'

Rollin’ Wit da Rat Pak

and

in "Git Off Ma Dic", Off is considered part of the verb ? so capital ?

Lotheric: Maybe obvious, but “wit” is “with” and “ova” is “over,” so capitalization should be the same as for the full word. I wouldn’t capitalize either one, but I often find I am at odds with the style guidelines in that respect. Try using proper English for the suggestion button, then putting it back?

good idea

https://musicbrainz.org/release/824bc334-e9cf-4... appears to be a duplicate of https://musicbrainz.org/release/271a39e0-3c33-4...

the latter is already in the proper release group with all the other versions

I alo tink with and over sohuld be lowercase in mb

as well as "from"

itit just looks *wrong* to capitalise them

the only reason for the exeption afaik si ambiguity in the "official english capitalisation rules" we got from some place

oh, I see I can submit a "remove" edit. don't mind me...

your example actually illustrates it nicely. "ove" is "ova" a 3 letter suc wnad would ,with the ambiguity be considered lowercase

ova*

erh

your example actually illustrates it nicely. "over" is "ova" a 3 letter such word would, without the ambiguity, be considered lowercase

maybe the guidelines can be changed... What do you think reosarevok ?

using https://capitalizemytitle.com/style/MLA/

the capitalization of with varies from style guide to style guide

nice to see discussions about English grammar using examples such as "Murdered Ova Nuttin’" and "Git Off Ma Dic"

it's like being at school again

you know... hip hop lol

not the finest English

atj: but is it a grammar school?

(I still don't know what that even means :D)

I dunno. Changing it would mean a ton of stuff would now be incorrect, which seems annoying :)

Lotheric: i'm not judging the English, i just liked the juxtaposition ;)

i agree. if there was one clear rule then possibly, but if it's ambiguous it's not worth the effort / disruption etc.

and even then

I don't care on way or the other, like I said English is not my native language so weeing "With" with a capital doesn't have that shock effect of being wrong

~seeing

but I can understand the annoyance

Is there any clever way to add a missing medium #1 to an existing release with many other media which are already in the correct position?

Because if I add e new medium and move it upwards using the arrow buttons, each of the exisiting medium gets its medium number incremented.

So for a release with the highest medium number being 23, it requires almost 2*23 clicks to get the medium into the correct position.

And unfortunately medium #1 is not the only one which is missing :/

you can play around with MB.releaseEditor.rootField.release().mediums()[n].position(1)

So if there is a hack (including JS execution in the browser console) to achieve this more easily than creating a duplicate release with the missing media only to merge it., let me know.

as long as the edit previews look ok, it should be fine

Thanks bitmap, I will try that :)

Cool, looking good, I guess I will submit the first medium separately to see that it works before entering more data.

Superb, using `MB.releaseEditor.rootField.release().mediums().at(-1).position(1)` I don't even have to calculate the index of the newly added last medium :D

Hi, I'm a bit new to this so I might ask a couple of questions today and tomorrow
