I don't know if I'm right, I just followed a general rule: always put a space before the number. If this indeed changes for each catalog and we want MB standardization to follow it, then we should definitely have a reference somewhere. We can't expect users to follow a standard and never explain what that standard is, especially if that standard... is not really standardized :-) So if it should be B.## and K ##, then there should be a page somewhere explaining when to put a space and when not to. A few more things I did not see last time: > *"Hail, all hail to the Queen,"* > from "Les Troyens" (translation Edward J. Dent) > > you removed (translation Edward J. Dent) from the MB track title. I probably agree but I suggest you explain why you did so, just as you explained he "(1)". it's correct with both English & German in this example It took me some time to find out you were probably referring to "for". I suggest you explain because for someone who does not speak German (I don't) it isn't obvious at all. Enter as (note that it's a German release): Once again, here you are referring to the "Op." capitalization. I suggest you say so. 1. Les Nuits d'été, op. 7: Villanelle. Allegretto I notice you used the standardized "separator"-"no space" colon. This should be noted so that if we decide to use the "localized" colon, we will remember to edit the example accordingly. -- Frederic Da Vitoria (davitof) Membre de l'April - « promouvoir et défendre le logiciel libre » - http://www.april.org
