I admit, "it looks weird" isn't necessarily a good reason not to use "SPACE-SPACE". It does prevent the "1-1-1-3" problem but I suspect that it may be common for part numbers to be printed on booklets without the spaces (perhaps this would explain why so many people seem to dislike the spaces).
If it seems like a majority prints part numbers without the spaces, we probably should write them without the spaces and when a release has parts 1-1-1-3 we can enter the part numbers as they are printed. -cooperaa On Mon, Apr 20, 2009 at 9:36 PM, Brian Schweitzer <brian.brianschweit...@gmail.com> wrote: > Well, SeriesNumberStyle indicates we shouldn't be changing the part number; > I would suggest that that also seems to apply to any subparts, subsubparts, > etc. It also feels like we'd be manipulating the data, as a further > complication, just to find some way to still make "Parts 1-3" work, rather > than simply using "Parts 1 - 3" and avoiding all the complications/etc... > > Brian > > On Mon, Apr 20, 2009 at 8:02 PM, StoneyBoh <js...@mindless.com> wrote: >> >> My suggestion... >> - Use the dash (hyphen so we don't have any typography issues) for >> ranges with no spaces. >> - For sub-parts, use a period. >> >> Parts 1-3 is a range >> Part 1.1 is a subpart >> Parts 1.1-1.9 is a range with subparts. >> >> simple. >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Musicbrainz-style mailing list >> Musicbrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org >> http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style > > > _______________________________________________ > Musicbrainz-style mailing list > Musicbrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org > http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style > _______________________________________________ Musicbrainz-style mailing list Musicbrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
