This is just tracknames, recording & works will be standardized. But if  
you use tracknames for tagging, the catalogue should probably be  
standardised. We'll have to make that page. What if we use what's on the  
liner for "opus", but standardize the specific catalogues?
BTW I haven't found anyone without a space before the number yet. Maybe  
"insert a space before the number" will work.

There's a start in
