=Style for PartNumbers=
This guideline defines a track-specific application of the general [[Series Number Style|series number style]].


[[Image:Alert.png]] '''Attention!''' ''This guideline is specific to Part numbering. General rules for appending numbering to a title are found in [[Series Number Style|SeriesNumberStyle]].''
The most recent '''official''' version of this guideline can be found [http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/?title=Part_Number_Style&oldid=20890 here].


'''When a track is one of a series of identically named tracks with a defined order, separate the [[Part Number|PartNumber]] from the [[Track Title|TrackTitle]] by a comma and a space.'''
== Singular Part ==


'''"Track<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>Title, Part 1"'''
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.


'''"Track<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>Title, Part 1: Part<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>Name"'''
:'''"TrackTitle, Part 1"'''

:'''"TrackTitle, Part 1: PartName"'''
This guideline is a specification of the more general [[Series Number Style|SeriesNumberStyle]]. See that page for principles (especially in which cases [[Artist Intent|ArtistIntent]] overrides this guideline).


Alternative names for parts may be used, such as Section, or their non-English equivalents.
Alternative names for parts may be used, such as Section, or their non-English equivalents.
* Note that if the title of a track is just "''Part 1''" or similar then this guideline should not apply, because then "''Part 1''" is considered being the [[Main Title|MainTitle]] of the track and not the [[Part Number|PartNumber]].
* Also note that the [[Abbreviation Style|AbbreviationStyle]] says that you should not use abbreviations in titles. So "Pt." should always be expanded to "Part" (assuming the [[Release Language|ReleaseLanguage]] is English).
* Also note that the [[Part Name|PartName]] must be formatted according to [[Subtitle Style|SubTitleStyle]].


==Example==
:'''"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 &amp; 2"''' - Two consecutive parts
:'''"TrackTitle, Parts 1 &amp; 3"''' - Two non-consecutive parts
:'''"TrackTitle, Parts 1, 3 &amp; 5"''' - Three or more parts, where no parts are consecutive
:'''"TrackTitle, Parts 1, 3 &amp; 4"''' - Three or more parts, where a range spanning more than two parts is not present
:'''"TrackTitle, Parts 1–3, &amp; 5"''' - Four or more parts, containing a range spanning more than two parts as well as a non-consequtive part
:'''"TrackTitle, Parts One – Three, &amp; 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 &amp; 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"'''
*A standard ASCII comma should always be used, not any other similar punctuation (with the exception of other dividing punctuation, as mentioned above).
*"And" and other similar joining words should not be used. Rather, an ampersand (&amp;) should always be used, where applicable.
*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 ==


"''[[Track:36bd10fa-3214-4876-ab75-55b59f31606d|Flares, Part 3]]''"
*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.


"''[[Track:9a414931-0cb3-48ec-861e-0c4c344199c5|09-15-00, Part One]]''"
== Subtitles ==


"''[[Track:d5590ff3-51d4-44db-89c6-0a2372524199|Creepin', Parts 1 & 2]]''" -- Two numbers are noted using an ampersand "&", the part indication in its plural form.
Subtitles, if present, should be inserted in compliance with [[Subtitle Style|subtitle style]].


"''[[Track:fdd06153-56d0-420d-9130-8103723b2989|Train to Lamy Suite, Parts 1-3]]''" -- More than 2 numbers, which are in sequence are separated by a hyphen "-", the part indication in its plural form.
:'''"TrackTitle, Part 1: Subtitle"'''
:'''"TrackTitle, Parts 1–3: Common Subtitle"'''
:'''"TrackTitle, Parts 1: SubtitleA &amp; 3: SubtitleB"'''


"'''''This Is a Trackname, Parts 1, 4 & 5'''''" -- More than 2 numbers, which are *not* in sequence are separated by a comma "," and the last one is added with an ampersand "&", the part indication in its plural form.
== Exception to this Guideline ==


==Details==
*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.


Using [[Series Number Style|SeriesNumberStyle]] and [[Part Number|PartNumber]] Style, here are some examples of how various part numbers should appear:
== Examples ==
{| border="1"
|-
| Part 1 || Part 1a || Part A1 || Part A1a || Part A || Part I || Part One
|-
| Parts 1 & 2 || Parts 1a & 2a || Parts A1 & A2 || Parts A1a & A1b || Parts A & B || Parts I & II || Parts One & Two
|-
| Parts 1 - 3 || Parts 1a - 3a || Parts A1 - A3 || Parts A1a - A1c || Parts A - C || Parts I - III || Parts One - Three
|-

Style for PartNumbers

Alert.png Attention! This guideline is specific to Part numbering. General rules for appending numbering to a title are found in SeriesNumberStyle.

When a track is one of a series of identically named tracks with a defined order, separate the PartNumber from the TrackTitle by a comma and a space.

"TrackTitle, Part 1"

"TrackTitle, Part 1: PartName"

This guideline is a specification of the more general SeriesNumberStyle. See that page for principles (especially in which cases ArtistIntent overrides this guideline).

Alternative names for parts may be used, such as Section, or their non-English equivalents.

  • Note that if the title of a track is just "Part 1" or similar then this guideline should not apply, because then "Part 1" is considered being the MainTitle of the track and not the PartNumber.
  • Also note that the AbbreviationStyle says that you should not use abbreviations in titles. So "Pt." should always be expanded to "Part" (assuming the ReleaseLanguage is English).
  • Also note that the PartName must be formatted according to SubTitleStyle.

Example

"Flares, Part 3"

"09-15-00, Part One"

"Creepin', Parts 1 & 2" -- Two numbers are noted using an ampersand "&", the part indication in its plural form.

"Train to Lamy Suite, Parts 1-3" -- More than 2 numbers, which are in sequence are separated by a hyphen "-", the part indication in its plural form.

"This Is a Trackname, Parts 1, 4 & 5" -- More than 2 numbers, which are *not* in sequence are separated by a comma "," and the last one is added with an ampersand "&", the part indication in its plural form.

Details

Using SeriesNumberStyle and PartNumber Style, here are some examples of how various part numbers should appear:

Part 1 Part 1a Part A1 Part A1a Part A Part I Part One
Parts 1 & 2 Parts 1a & 2a Parts A1 & A2 Parts A1a & A1b Parts A & B Parts I & II Parts One & Two
Parts 1 - 3 Parts 1a - 3a Parts A1 - A3 Parts A1a - A1c Parts A - C Parts I - III Parts One - Three
Parts 1 & 3 Parts 1a & 3a Parts A1 & A3 Parts A1a & A3a Parts A & C Parts I & III Parts One & Three
Parts 1 - 3, 5 Parts 1a - 3a, 5a Parts A1 - A3, A5 Parts A1a - A1c, A3a Parts A - C, E Parts I - III, V Parts One - Three, Five
Parts 1, 3 - 4 Parts 1a, 3a - 4a Parts A1, A3 - A4 Parts A1a, A3a - A3c Parts A, C - D Parts I, III - IV Parts One, Three - Four
Parts 1, 3 & 4 Parts 1a, 3a & 4a Parts A1, A3 & A4 Parts A1a, A3a & A4a Parts A, C & D Parts I, III & IV Parts One, Three & Four
