Just so you know, there are no schema changes planned for recordings. The only thing changing in the schema due to this at the moment will be tracks getting track ids at some point soon. So recording mbids will stay valid, since recordings will still be around - we're just redefining the existing

Yes that's right. Analog/Digital was never distinguished anyway in the guidelines - too much work. Remasters should only be split if they change the audio enough for it to be considered a new mix. As reo said in the original email, all of those ARs will be either moved to the correct release(s), o

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand how your question relates to the discussion? Maybe rephrase it..? As far as I know remastering engineers would go on releases, and the release would be disambiguated as a remaster, just as it is currently. -- View this message in context: http://musicbrainz.105

If, using your example, the engineer didn't engineer all the tracks on the release, that'd go in annotations too. I agree using annotations isn't the ideal solution, but the problem is developer time needed to get a more sophisticated system. Also, we haven't got a clear definition on Mix yet, I

Basically all these work types will (and should) be used for classical (and eventually folk). I think we should also think of something for non classical edits.
