Guidelines

• Use the live attribute when the performance had an audience at the time it occurred, i.e. it was not prerecorded.

• The partial attribute should only be used where no work exists that represents what was performed. For example, The Planets: Mars, the Bringer of War should not be considered as a partial performance of The Planets, Op. 32, Suite, but simply a performance of The Planets Suite for Orchestra, Op. 32: I. Mars, the Bringer of War. Guidelines on where works should be split can be found at Parts Relationship Type.

• For live recordings the end date is usually the same as the start date. For most live albums from a single concert starting close to midnight and ending early in the morning is OK to just use the start date of the event on all concert recordings.

• Use the instrumental attribute when the recording is an instrumental version of a work that is not instrumental in itself.
• Because the lyrics are important to karaoke versions of a song (the intention is that someone would sing them over the karaoke track), karaoke versions should not be marked with the “instrumental” attribute. Note that in addition to this performance relation, you should link a karaoke track to its original version with the Karaoke Version Relationship Type.
