Note that this is different from the case where ''instrumental'' is version info, i.e. there is a regular version with vocals and an instrumental version. In that case, which is covered by [[Remix Style|RemixStyle]], it is to be included anyways.

-- I think there should be some way to enter the word "instrumental" in the native language of the release. Otherwise it would be entered twice; one for native language and other for English. Maybe some type of look-up table can be used for identifying the corresponding word for the native release language. -- ''syserror''

Style for instrumental Songs

This is an ProposedStyleGuideline. It is a sub-style of the more general ExtraTitleInformationStyle.

Tracks labeled as instrumental should be listed as Title (instrumental) with the word instrumental without abbreviation and all lowercase. This is consistent with StylePrinciple.

Note that this is different from the case where instrumental is version info, i.e., there is a regular version with vocals and an instrumental version. In that case, which is covered by RemixStyle, it is to be included anyways.

Example

He Loves U Not (instrumental)
