=Style for PartNumbers= |
|||
Applies to songs that have been split across multiple tracks. |
|||
'''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.''' |
|||
'''"''[[Track Title|TrackTitle]]'', Part 1"''' |
|||
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. |
|||
* 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 the [[Track Title|TrackTitle]] 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 [[Album Language|AlbumLanguage]] is English). |
|||
<ul><li style="list-style-type:none">This is an [[Official Style Guideline|OfficialStyleGuideline]]. but it is currently (June 2005) under discussion on the [[Style Mailing List|StyleMailingList]] |

</ul> |

==Example== |

|||
"''09-15-00, Part One''" --[http://musicbrainz.org/track/9a414931-0cb3-48ec-861e-0c4c344199c5.html http://musicbrainz.org/track/9a414931-0cb3-48ec-861e-0c4c344199c5.html] |
|||
"''Creepin', Parts 1 & 2''" --[http://musicbrainz.org/track/d5590ff3-51d4-44db-89c6-0a2372524199.html http://musicbrainz.org/track/d5590ff3-51d4-44db-89c6-0a2372524199.html] Two numbers are noted using an ampersand "&", the part indication in its plural form. |
|||
"''Train to Lamy Suite, Parts 1-3''" --[http://musicbrainz.org/track/fdd06153-56d0-420d-9130-8103723b2989.html http://musicbrainz.org/track/fdd06153-56d0-420d-9130-8103723b2989.html] 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== |
|||
Please see [[Series Number Style|SeriesNumberStyle]] for details. |
|||
==Discussion== |
|||
I have albums where the first part of the track series has no part number, despite a second part existing. In this case I think we should leave that numberless, as it could be considered the 'original' or 'main' version of the song. --[[User:Gecks|Gecks]] |

'''Q:''' Is it ok to have numbers spelled out? |
|||
'''A:''' Yes it is ok to have the spelled out - see the examples on [[Series Number Style|SeriesNumberStyle]]. |
|||

'''Q:''' What if a track "Some Trackname (Pt. 1)" is featured with the said title on a compilation? Should it stick to the formatting as it were in sequence with the other parts of the series, e.g. "Some Trackname, Part 1"? I'm in favor of applying PartNumberStyle to all track names which have some notation of Pt, Pts and other variants. --[[G0llum|g0llum]] |

|||
'''Q:''' Should stuff not be added to [[Track Titles|TrackTitles]] in parantheses, like in [[Track Attributes Style|TrackAttributesStyle]] and [[Remix Style|RemixStyle]]? |
|||
'''A:''' As long as it is consistant, use the format the artist uses. Parts are almost always shown with a preceeding comma on tracklistings, rather than track attributes (eg mix names). Also, we consider [[Part Number|PartNumber]]s to be more a part of the title than [[Extra Title Information|ExtraTitleInformation]], they are special. |
