Great, I hadn't until nechto13 mentioned it on IRC. We talked through it and I asked him to post it to the mailing list to get the discussion stated.

I think for releases of works by a single composer the artist should be Orchestra (conductor: Artist) with Soloist only at the album level if they perform on all tracks using the existing style rules for formatting with one small adjustment. I would suggest we drop "feat." from the formatting (see above). In pop listings it would be strange to not have it but the role really achieves the same function for classical releases. > > I would like to see the change > > to ClassialStyleGuide unless someone has some sort of objections, > > which need to be addressed in the process. > > Since officially I'm still the man, please just allow a > couple of days for discussions and than I'll try the edit. > > Ciao > > MArco / ClutchEr2 -- Cristov (wolfsong) You're driving a car; it isn't a telephone booth, a beauty parlor or a restaurant. _______________________________________________ Musicbrainz-style mailing list Musicbrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
