=Style for instrumental Songs= |

'''This is an [[Proposed Style Guideline|ProposedStyleGuideline]]'''. It is a sub-style of the more general [[Extra Title Information Style|ExtraTitleInformationStyle]]. |
|||
Tracks labeled as ''instrumental'' should be listed as '''Title''' '''''(instrumental)''''' with the word instrumental without abbreviation and all lowercase. This is consistent with [[Style Principle|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 [[Remix Style|RemixStyle]], it is to be included anyways. |
|||
==Example== |
|||
He Loves U Not (instrumental) |

Also relevant to this discussion is [http://musicbrainz.org/show/edit/?editid=4643690 edit 4643690] where wolfsong tried to add (instrumental) to Metallica's song "Orion". To summarize: Because the song is *always* instrumental it was decided that the version info was not necessary and would not be appended to the title despite the fact that "(instrumental)" is printed on the CD. -[[User:AaronCooper|AaronCooper]], 2007-10-18 |

-- 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'' |

<ul><li style="list-style-type:none">I don't understand what you mean. Of course if something is labelled "instrumental" in another language, then that word is to be used. -- [[User:Shepard|Shepard]] 13:10, 27 July 2006 (UTC) |

</ul> |
|||
Would that mean that the extra information "instrumental" would always be used, even if the official track title does not include it? If this is intended with this proposal I would suggest using the upcoming [[Folksonomy Tag|FolksonomyTag]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>gin for this instead. There is not need to add that information to every track title. -- [[User:OutsideContext|OutsideContext]] |
