in contemporary music, the name in brackets is the 'written by' credit - you should give all names in brackets that credit, and not specifiy who wrote the lyrics/music/etc, if it is not given.
if it's music: xxx, lyrics: yyy, they would be "music written by xxx", "lyrics written by yyy". for contemporary music, only use 'composed by' when explicitly stated. On 02/05/06, Frederic Da Vitoria <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
As I said before, I understand, but what about sleeves where all you get is a name or a couple of names, with no mention of what they precisely did. Usually, you can guess who wrote the lyrics and who did something with the music, but that is about all. Or sometimes, you get something like "music: xxx, lyrics: yyy"). I can see how yyy should be entered, but what about xxx? 2006/5/2, Chris Bransden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > On 02/05/06, Frederic Da Vitoria <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I understand, but there will be times when the user will not be able > > to choose (because he will not have the info).
