{{Status|This is an <strike>[[Official Style Guideline|official style guideline]]</strike> Proposed Draft.}} |
|||
This guideline defines a track-specific application of the general [[Series Number Style|series number style]]. |
|||
== Singular Part == |
|||
When a track is one of a series of identically named tracks with a defined order, separate the [[Part Number|part number]] from the [[Track Title|track title]] by a comma and a space. |
|||
:'''"TrackTitle, Part 1"''' |
|||
:'''"TrackTitle, Part 1: PartName"''' |
|||
Alternative names for parts may be used, such as Section, or their non-English equivalents. |
|||
:'''"TrackTitle, Section 1"''' |
|||
:'''"TrackTitle, Sequence Three"''' |
|||
Per [[Abbreviation Style|abbreviation style]], abbreviations should not be used in titles. Therefore, abbreviations such as "Pt." should always be expanded to "Part" (or the equivalent in the applicable language). |
|||
== Multiple Parts == |
|||
When multiple parts are present within the track, this should be indicated using the following styles: |
|||
:'''"TrackTitle, Parts 1–3"''' - Three or more consecutive parts |
|||
:'''"TrackTitle, Parts One – Three"''' - Three or more consecutive parts |
|||
:'''"TrackTitle, Parts 1 & 2"''' - Two consecutive parts |
|||
:'''"TrackTitle, Parts 1 & 3"''' - Two non-consecutive parts |
|||
:'''"TrackTitle, Parts 1, 3 & 5"''' - Three or more parts, where no parts are consecutive |
|||
:'''"TrackTitle, Parts 1, 3 & 4"''' - Three or more parts, where a range spanning more than two parts is not present |
|||
:'''"TrackTitle, Parts 1–3, & 5"''' - Four or more parts, containing a range spanning more than two parts as well as a non-consequtive part |
|||
:'''"TrackTitle, Parts One – Three, & Five"''' - Four or more parts, containing a range spanning more than two parts as well as a non-consequtive part |
|||
:'''"TrackTitle, Parts One, Three – Five"''' - Four or more parts, containing a range spanning more than two parts as well as a non-consequtive part |
|||
Titles such as "Part 1 and Part 2" and "Parts 1, 2, and 3" should be compressed into "Parts 1 & 2" and "Parts 1–3". |
|||
== Punctuation == |
|||
*The part section of the title should be formatted according to [[Subtitle Style|subtitle style]]. Thus, if there is an alternative dividing punctuation mark present, such as a question mark (?) or an exclamation point (!), use that mark instead of the comma. |
|||
:'''"TrackTitle! Part 1"''' |
|||
:'''"TrackTitle? Part 1"''' |
|||
*"And" and other similar joining words should not be used. Rather, an ampersand (&) should always be used, where applicable. |
|||
*A standard ASCII comma should always be used, not any other similar punctuation. |
|||
*For ranges, an en-dash (–) is preferred, but a standard ASCII hyphen-minus (-) (the key on most keyboards) is also accepted. |
|||
'''To type an en-dash:''' <br> |
|||
* Windows: Alt + 0150 (using the keypad, not the numbers at the top of the keyboard) |
|||
* OSX: Option key + hyphen-minus key |
|||
* Linux: Shift + Ctrl + u + 2013 |
|||
== Spacing == |
|||
*There should be no space before the comma. |
|||
*A space should always be present after the comma (or other dividing punctuation mark). |
|||
*A space should always be present on each side of the ampersand. |
|||
*A space should always be present on each side of the en-dash, with one exception. If the [[Series Number Style|series number style]] used consists only of numbers (0 through 9), such as "Parts 1–3", then no space should be used around the en-dash. |
|||
== Subtitles == |
|||
Subtitles, if present, should be inserted in compliance with [[Subtitle Style|subtitle style]]. |
|||
:'''"TrackTitle, Part 1: Subtitle"''' |
|||
:'''"TrackTitle, Parts 1–3: Common Subtitle"''' |
|||
:'''"TrackTitle, Parts 1: SubtitleA & 3: SubtitleB"''' |
|||
== Exception to this Guideline == |
|||
*If the title of a track is just "''Part 1''" or something similar, then this guideline does not apply. "''Part 1''" is then considered to be the [[Main Title|main title]] of the track and not the part number. |
|||
== Examples == |
|||
*"''[[Track:36bd10fa-3214-4876-ab75-55b59f31606d|Flares, Part 3]]''" |
|||
*"''[[Track:9a414931-0cb3-48ec-861e-0c4c344199c5|09-15-00, Part One]]''" |
|||
*"''[[Track:d5590ff3-51d4-44db-89c6-0a2372524199|Creepin', Parts 1 & 2]]'' |
|||
*"''[[Track:fdd06153-56d0-420d-9130-8103723b2989|Train to Lamy Suite, Parts 1–3]]''" |
|||
*"''This Is a Trackname, Parts 1, 4 & 5''" |
