Ok, but what I am trying to see is if a catalog number is unique. I may be wrong, but I think in Bach's examples, the BWV numbers were different; so these could be stored in MB as different works, with ARs giving the relationships between these works. I don't know Chopin well, though; are the same catalog numbers used for the different revisions of a same work? -- Frederic Da Vitoria _______________________________________________ Musicbrainz-style mailing list Musicbrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
