I don't like leading zeros either - the tracks will be sorted by TrackNumber. I also don't like using "Chapter 1-2" to designate a sub-part of a chapter. For classical releases, we use "Chapter IIIa" for standard sub-parts and "Chapter III-ii" for non-standard divisions (I believe there was some support behind this although it was never made an "official" part of the CSG). I think it would be good to do the same for audiobooks. If a chapter has standard sub-chapters, then use "Chapter 3a: Subchapter Title" . If a chapter is just arbitrarily split amongst several tracks, then use "Chapter 3-iv" or even "Chapter 3, Part 4" from PartNumberStyle. -cooperaa _______________________________________________ Musicbrainz-style mailing list Musicbrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
