+1 to all of this. I think there may be a few cases where a symphony orchestra had a subset perform as a chamber orchestra but were credited under the same name, but I think those are rare enough not to be much of a problem. (and at least there we can note it in the group’s annotation instead of hoping we get it right in the AR). _______________________________________________ MusicBrainz-style mailing list MusicBrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
