This has been discussed many times in almost all of our mailing lists
and AFAIK with no results. I think we need to make vocal type
optional, so that we can use ARs to say "Artist performed vocal on
Track/Album".
I've already changed it on the test server. Here is an example:

How did you do this? I thought this was not possible. Did you hack on
the internals or is it possible to specify that a selection of multiple
values is optional in the regular RelType interface?
It's perfectly possible, the system is designed to allow this. It's simple
change from "[x] additional [1]-[ ]" to "[x] additional [0]-[ ]".
Btw, currently track-artist AR sais "1-1", album-artist "1- ". So I've changed
both to "0- "
Can we please decide this soon?
"Need OK from Secretary"
IIRC there were poeple (Wolfsong?) arguing that this was not needed.
However, I see no reason why a more fine-grained description, that gives
you the ability to choose the genral group _or_ one of the specific
elements, should be harmful.
I will give you an OK under the following conditions:
- Go through the <http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/ChecklistForStyleChanges>
and answer these points:
What is the impact on existing data?
No impact.
Conflicts with other Style Guidelines
No.
Required Editor Time
RelationshipEditor time? 60 seconds :)
Required Developer Time
-
Impact on Paying Clients
No impact.
- Create a ticket. It is very simple: Management of StyleIssues must be
in the open, if only for my job to be taken on by someone else in three
months. So please use trac, I will too. The alternateive are obscure
lists on my PC that nobody will ever see.

- Wait 24 hours for objections. However, I will ignore objections that
do not come with a comprehensible argument that the change is really one
for the worse.
