Talk:Lyricist Relationship Type

• When someone wrote both the music and the lyrics, should ComposerRelationshipType, LyricistRelationshipType, or both be used?

• Both. -- jesus2099 09:44, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

• Does "writing lyrics" include writing the melody of the lyrics? Does it include writing the rhythm of the lyrics?

• Melody and rythm are music, thus ComposerRelationshipType is better suited… -- jesus2099 09:44, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

• Should this be used for spoken word tracks? Poems? Recordings of plays?

• I think yes. -- jesus2099 09:44, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

• Should this be used if the person translated the lyrics? Or should it link to the original writer?

• A new LyricsTranslatorRelationshipType would be nice, wouldn't it ? Otherwise, LyricistRelationshipType between track and both original author and translator should be OK, in the meanwhile… -- jesus2099 09:44, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

• When an artist wrote the lyrics of all tracks on the release, should one assign the LyricistRelationshipType to the release only ? -- jesus2099 09:44, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
