You mean space, slash, space ( / ), right? And the comma is comma and
space (, ), but this should be obvious.
In fact this seems to make for a really good *general* ennumeration rule.
What would you think of appending this to MultipleTitleStyle? Maybe not on
that page but on an additional ComplexMultipleTitleStyle. Because, if you
look at it from the outside, then what you classic folks have to deal with
is nothing but very complex multiple tracks/works in one title field.
I would also like to add that such complex rules should not be in the way
of adding releases to MB, IMO. They should be good for cleaning up, but
not for voting stuff down. (But I am talking theory here. I do not know
the voting practices of the classical people here at all)
I agree. I'd rather have a release without the opus numbers than no
release at all. I make an exception for performers (a release without
performers is often useless).
