||
| − | {{StyleHeader}} |
||
| − | {{Status|This is an <strike>[[Official Style Guideline|official style guideline]]</strike> Proposed Draft.}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | This guideline defines a track-specific application of the general [[Series Number Style|series number style]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | == Singular Part == |
||
| − | |||
| − | 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. |
||
| − | |||
| − | :'''"TrackTitle, Part 1"''' |
||
| − | :'''"TrackTitle, Part 1: PartName"''' |
||
| − | |||
| − | Alternative names for parts may be used, such as Section, or their non-English equivalents. |
||
| − | |||
| − | :'''"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 & 2"''' -- Two consecutive parts |
||
| − | :'''"TrackTitle, Parts 1 & 3"''' -- Two non-consecutive parts |
||
| − | :'''"TrackTitle, Parts 1, 3 & 5"''' -- Three parts, where no parts are consecutive |
||
| − | :'''"TrackTitle, Parts 1, 3 & 4"''' -- Three parts, where a range spanning more than two parts is not present |
||
| − | :'''"TrackTitle, Parts 1–3, & 5"''' -- Four or more parts, containing a range spanning more than two parts as well as a non-consequtive part |
||
| − | :'''"TrackTitle, Parts One – Three, & 5"''' -- Four or more parts, containing a range spanning more than two parts as well as a non-consequtive part |
||
| − | :'''"TrackTitle, Parts 1, 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 & 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, such as a question mark (?) or an exclamation point (!), use that mark instead of the comma. |
||
| − | :'''"TrackTitle! Part 1"''' |
||
| − | :'''"TrackTitle? Part 1"''' |
||
| − | *"And" and other similar joining words should not be used. Rather, an ampersand (&) should always be used, where applicable. |
||
| − | *A standard ASCII comma should always be used, not any other similar punctuation. |
||
| − | *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 == |
||
| − | |||
| − | *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, such as "Parts 1–3", then no space should be used around the en-dash. |
||
| − | |||
| − | == Subtitles == |
||
| − | |||
| − | Subtitles, if present, should be inserted in compliance with [[Subtitle Style|subtitle style]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | :'''"TrackTitle, Part 1: Subtitle"''' |
||
| − | :'''"TrackTitle, Parts 1-3: Common Subtitle"''' |
||
| − | :'''"TrackTitle, Parts 1: SubtitleA & 3: SubtitleB"''' |
||
| − | |||
| − | == Exception to this Guideline == |
||
| − | |||
| − | *If the title of a track is just "''Part 1''" or something similar, then this guideline should not apply. "''Part 1''" is then considered to be the [[Main Title|main title]] of the track and not the part number. |
||
| − | |||
| − | == Examples == |
||
| − | |||
| − | *"''[[Track:36bd10fa-3214-4876-ab75-55b59f31606d|Flares, Part 3]]''" |
||
| − | *"''[[Track:9a414931-0cb3-48ec-861e-0c4c344199c5|09-15-00, Part One]]''" |
||
| − | *"''[[Track:d5590ff3-51d4-44db-89c6-0a2372524199|Creepin', Parts 1 & 2]]'' |
||
| − | *"''[[Track:fdd06153-56d0-420d-9130-8103723b2989|Train to Lamy Suite, Parts 1–3]]''" |
||
| − | *"''This Is a Trackname, Parts 1, 4 & 5''" |
