I don't understand why we need a whole guideline to say that.
Agreed. I propose to simply add this to the details section of
ExtraTitleInformationStyle. Once this has been agreed upon and a RFV has
passed of course. Until then a separate wiki page makes sense.
As to the content of the instrumental style: Remember that it's guidelines
not rules. All arguments that I have read in this thread are very balanced
and say something like "but in this *special case* you would have to...
because...". And that's good. That's the way it should be.
IMO the guideline just says:
a) If a track is *consistently* labelled "instrumental", keep this
information.
b) If a track is labelled "instrumental" in a situation in which this is
*contextually relevant* information, keep it.
contextually relevant means:
b.1) If there are vocal versions of this track in the database
IIRC everyone agrees upon this one
b.2) If "instrumental" distingushes this track from other tracks on an
album, which are not instrumental.
I think this is the one which is controversial.
And finally I think the wording on InstrumentalStyle is weird, but this
can be mended, once we have come to a decision.
