        zoe.division (@_discord_441382104455184385:chatbrainz.org) if you do go with Unicode dashes, I don't think dates technically get a Unicode Hyphen™, but a figure dash

        (I don't remember offhand how well the userscript linked above handles the different types of dashes, so I usually manually change those)

        Yknow, can't lie, as eager as I may be to adopt a new little-used punctuation mark 😅, *so far* I'm not finding examples online of using figure dashes for date strings......
      • 2025-06-24 17520, 2025

      • zoedivision[m]
        Usage examples tend to center around telephone number strings.

        As far as I understand, using figure dashes for dates is even wrong.

        There is a ticket which argues about using hyphen or hyphen-minus: https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-12152

        MBS-12152: Use true hyphens instead of hyphen-minus for dates

      • elomatreb[m]
        it's not like the dates are specifically meant to be machine-readable in the titles of releases, so it doesn't matter too much IMO

      • elomatreb[m]
        this will probably always be one of the areas where a small amount of editors have really strongly held convictions while most others don't really care

        I understand it's library music but it seems to be full compositions by the composers listed?
      • 2025-06-24 17507, 2025

      • reosarevok[m]
        In which case, I could add works if the titles were not a horrible mess seemingly missing all diacritics and with wrong caps for the Czech stuff :) Halp?

        Should a VA collection of songs by a single author (either lyricist or composer) be credited to the author or VA and linked as tribute to said author?

        Someone added two new nearly-identical releases as separate release groups: https://musicbrainz.org/release/d4a892da-170d-458… and https://musicbrainz.org/release/6676b4fb-6553-45e…
      • 2025-06-24 17513, 2025

      • crism
        I’ve marked the release groups for merge, but the recordings should also be merged. Is there an easy way to do that?
      • 2025-06-24 17528, 2025

      • crism
        And as this is a hits compilation, probably those recordings all already exist…
