Re: [mb-style] Capitalization of "Zip-a-dee-doo-dah"?

In various Jazz pieces with such names I've encountered, I've predominantly seen the practice of capitalizing it as: "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah". The "A" in this series of syllables is arguably not an indefinite article. Paul On Thu, 2009-04-16 at 20:19 -0400, Brian Schweitzer wrote: > Re: ticket http://

[mb-style] Capitalization of "Zip-a-dee-doo-dah"?

Re: ticket http://bugs.musicbrainz.org/ticket/5032 This word breaks the normal rules, it would seem. Unlike almost any other word I can think of in English, apart from British town names, it has multiple hyphens. English Capitalization Standard would seem to indicate it ought to be capitalized a

Re: [mb-style] RFC (3rd try): add attribute 'translated' to LyricistRelationshipType

My objection is on the rigidity of the wordings "real translation" and "significantly altered". I think I could agree on a wording like the one Paul suggests: "…should [only] be applied to translations that attempt to carry the overall meaning of the work into a different language… " (e.g. Brian's

Re: [mb-style] PartNumberStyle - "Foo, Parts 1-3" vs "Foo, Parts 1 - 3"

I've now read the discussion page in the wiki, and understand the GC issue a bit more clearly. I'm still of the opinion that we should follow English convention in expressing ranges rather than deviate in order to ease GC issues. My vote would be on "Parts 1-3" without spaces. On Thu, 2009-04-16

Re: [mb-style] PartNumberStyle - "Foo, Parts 1-3" vs "Foo, Parts 1 - 3"

I agree, keeping it "Parts 1-3" is more intuitive to me, in common English style. I don't understand what in particular "breaks" beyond perhaps the new Guess Case code when dealing with numbers spelled-out rather than numerically. Brian, could you provide further clarification on the issue? We hu

[mb-style] PartNumberStyle - "Foo, Parts 1-3" vs "Foo, Parts 1 - 3"

there's a silly revert war going on on the wiki (http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Part_Number_Style) so rather than carry on with that i think it's time it was brought to this list. the conflict is over how we represent ranges: a) "Parts 1-3" or b) "Parts 1 - 3" it's been stipulated as a) (in the examp

Re: [mb-style] RFC (3rd try): add attribute 'translated' to LyricistRelationshipType

Hi Jan: I think it's a useful AR, for the same reason cover, parody and remix ARs are useful. I think this could be resolved by distinguishing what is in the official guideline vs. general practice in applying it. In my opinion, the official guideline should remain pretty generic. To wit, you wro

Re: [mb-style] RFC (3rd try): add attribute 'translated' to LyricistRelationshipType

Hi, I propose something, people object, it is amended to add 'significantly altered', people object to the 'significantly altered' part. I don't know what should be done now. Drop this proposal? Jan ___ Musicbrainz-style mailing list Musicbrainz-style@
