I'm a bit confused about guest performance AR:s again. The helper text on the AR editing page reads "This attribute indicates a 'guest' performance where the performer is not usually part of the band." Should this be understood to mean that whenever a performer isn't part of a band (or isn't the a

I think this is all a pretty good fine which solves many problems for users in both camps. Some additional thought: Work lists should not have track times visible, or at least they should not be editable. Also, it should not be possible to tag against the work list (enforced by taggers I suppose)
