Hmm, if I understood correctly when asking in another tread about post-CSG tracknames, we should still put in the "heading" (context) in tracknames. >From a cover (back): Czech Suite, Op. 39 2 Preludium (Pastorale) 3 Polka Tracknames: 2. Czech Suite, Op. 39: Preludium (Pastorale) 3. Czech Suite, Op. 39: Polka
Like worktitles in CSG but as it is written on the cover (my interpretation). This would of course mean that some releases won't have "BWV 244"...? In this case I suppose "Matthew Passion: Chorus: Kommt, ihr Tochter, helft mir klagen; Choral: O Lamm Gottes, unschuldig" (we have to decide what to fix in tracknames, missing umlauts, should we standardize colons etc) I thought that we would be able to search for "BWV 244" in the worklist and from there locate the "connected" releases/tracks? The only real showstopper for me so far for this system is if we have to create a new "work" every time a work is split in more than one track (4th mvt of Beethoven's 9 and similar) . Sounds like a big mess to me. (& then there's this problem with identical releases in different languages and/or different packaging & how to deal with that without turning into discogs...) >For Bach cantatas it is perhaps possible to shorten it more, as the >religious ones are titled after the first text line: > >BWV 172, I. Coro: Erschallet, ihr Lieder, erklinget, ihr Saiten! I've actually been thinking about something like this for CSGStandard/JSBach, since apparently Bach didn't name these works "cantatas" (AFAIK) >Personally I have until recently added voice indications to recitatives >and arias, but this is better done with ARs IMO. I like ARs too, but currently there's no way of preserving the original voice, if say a bass aria is sung by a baryton. I guess this won't be a problem when NGS is in function? -- /symphonick _______________________________________________ Musicbrainz-style mailing list Musicbrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
