<h1>Unofficial CSG for track names</h1>


How should we enter classical track titles in MB?<br/>
{{Status| My research, questions & comments for the upcoming CSG for tracks & recordings. This is NOT a guideline. It's for discussion. Possible future use: CSG examples that won't be in the official guideline.}}
I've tried to copy the tracklists exactly as printed on the releases.


==Keys==
Classical track titles should be entered as they are on the liner, following normal [[MusicBrainz]] style guidelines. There are some exceptions, and some things the editor should be aware of when entering "classical" track/recording titles in MB.
Simple example; this is already in CSG/languages/English but I'm guessing it's the same in many other languages.<br/>
''(Changing notational style was an old style practice which will probably be used only for works & pseudo-releases in the future).''


===Bach: Cello Suites===
On classical releases, tracknames are often subtitles of a multi-part work, for example a symphony with four movements. On the tracklist, it could be printed like this:<br/>
'''Johann Sebastian Bach''' (1685-1750)<br/>

'''Suite No. 1 in G, BWV 1007''' <br/>
Suites for Solo Violincello BWV 1007-1012<br/>
Volume 1 Suites 1 - 3<br/>
Transcribed for viola and played by Simon Rowland-Jones<br/>
<br/>
'''Suite No. 1 in G, BWV 1007'''<br/>
[1] Prélude<br/>
[1] Prélude<br/>
[2] Allemande<br/>
[2] Allemande<br/>
''Example from Meridian CDE 84270''


Enter as:<br/>
And the track names in Musicbrainz will be:<br/>
<pre>1. Suite No. 1 in G, BWV 1007: Prélude
1. Suite no. 1 in G, BWV 1007: Prélude<br/>
2. Suite No. 1 in G, BWV 1007: Allemande</pre>
2. Suite no. 1 in G, BWV 1007: Allemande<br/>


Guidelines in effect:
''This is actually not an exception, just standard subtitle style.'' Just be aware that it's very unlikely that a track name is ONLY "3. Allegro"
*CSG/Track Title: subtitle-style
*CSG/Language English: "no." should be lower cased
<br/>




===Bach Edition: Sonata no. 6===
----
It's a common practice that keys are printed in multiple languages. I'm suggesting the '''complete language''' is entered as '''official''' (not pseudo) tracklist.
I'm not finished w. the stuff below this line, please disregard.
''Note that in some cases the official language can vary between releases in a boxset.'' <br/>


'''Sonata No. 6 in G major/G Dur BWV1019'''<br/>
If the liner misidentifies what work is actually on any track, please then note in a track annotation how the liner identified the work, but correctly identify it in the actual title.
9. Allegro<br/>
10. Largo<br/>
''from Brilliant Classics 93101/21''<br/>


English is the only complete language available:<br/>
If each track's title is presented in multiple languages, only one should be used, and whichever one is chosen should be used consistently for all tracks.
9. Sonata No. 6 in G major, BWV 1019: Allegro<br/>
10. Sonata No. 6 in G major, BWV 1019: Largo<br/>


Tracks should be titled so as to be as informative as possible, per what is on the liner, without over-normalizing the titles such that they no longer represent what is on the liner.


==Vocal ranges & roles==
Example:
Should be inside brackets. Only use what's already inside the title, don't add ranges from artist credits or other sources.


===Berlioz: Les nuits d'été (Philips)===
If the liner presents this:
This release has the vocal range in brackets already. ''AFAIK this is how vocal ranges are usually printed on releases.'''<br/>
'''LES NUITS D'ÉTÉ, OP. 7'''<br/>
Gedichte von Théophile Gautier<br/>
1. Villanelle (Tenor)
2. Le spectre de la rose (Alt)<br/>
''Philips 6500 009''<br/>


Enter as (note that it's a German release):<br/>
Concerto for Piano and Orchestra<br/> No. 9 in E flat major K 271<br/> "Jeunehomme"<br/> 1. Allegro<br/> 2. Andante<br/> 3. Rondo: Presto
1. Les nuits d'été, op. 7: Villanelle (Tenor)<br/>
2. Les nuits d'été, op. 7: Le spectre de la rose (Alt)<br/>


Guidelines in effect:
Then the track titles should be entered as:
*CSG/Track Title: subtitle-style
*CSG/Language German: "op." lowercased?
*CSG/Track Title: roles in brackets


==Typography we can capture==
1. Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No. 9 in E-flat major K 271 "Jeunehomme": Allegro<br/> 2. Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No. 9 in E-flat major K 271 "Jeunehomme": Andante<br/> 3. Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No. 9 in E-flat major K 271 "Jeunehomme": Rondo: Presto
When combining a title from text written on multiple lines, use the delimiters as printed (adjusted to language guidelines).

Latest revision as of 09:28, 13 June 2012

Status: My research, questions & comments for CSG Track Titles. This is NOT a guideline.

How should we enter classical track titles in MB?
I've tried to copy the tracklists exactly as printed on the releases.

Keys

Simple example; this is already in CSG/languages/English but I'm guessing it's the same in many other languages.
(Changing notational style was an old style practice which will probably be used only for works & pseudo-releases in the future).

Bach: Cello Suites

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)
Suites for Solo Violincello BWV 1007-1012
Volume 1 Suites 1 - 3
Transcribed for viola and played by Simon Rowland-Jones

Suite No. 1 in G, BWV 1007
[1] Prélude
[2] Allemande
Example from Meridian CDE 84270

Enter as:
1. Suite no. 1 in G, BWV 1007: Prélude
2. Suite no. 1 in G, BWV 1007: Allemande

Guidelines in effect:

  • CSG/Track Title: subtitle-style
  • CSG/Language English: "no." should be lower cased



Bach Edition: Sonata no. 6

It's a common practice that keys are printed in multiple languages. I'm suggesting the complete language is entered as official (not pseudo) tracklist. Note that in some cases the official language can vary between releases in a boxset.

Sonata No. 6 in G major/G Dur BWV1019
9. Allegro
10. Largo
from Brilliant Classics 93101/21

English is the only complete language available:
9. Sonata No. 6 in G major, BWV 1019: Allegro
10. Sonata No. 6 in G major, BWV 1019: Largo


Vocal ranges & roles

Should be inside brackets. Only use what's already inside the title, don't add ranges from artist credits or other sources.

Berlioz: Les nuits d'été (Philips)

This release has the vocal range in brackets already. AFAIK this is how vocal ranges are usually printed on releases.'
LES NUITS D'ÉTÉ, OP. 7
Gedichte von Théophile Gautier
1. Villanelle (Tenor) 2. Le spectre de la rose (Alt)
Philips 6500 009

Enter as (note that it's a German release):
1. Les nuits d'été, op. 7: Villanelle (Tenor)
2. Les nuits d'été, op. 7: Le spectre de la rose (Alt)

Guidelines in effect:

  • CSG/Track Title: subtitle-style
  • CSG/Language German: "op." lowercased?
  • CSG/Track Title: roles in brackets

Typography we can capture

When combining a title from text written on multiple lines, use the delimiters as printed (adjusted to language guidelines).

There are exceptions to this rule; for certain releases with vocal works the official "short" tracklist is recommended instead of trying to construct your own tracklist from the full libretto.

Bach: Weihnachts-Oratorium

This is an example of when a "condensed" tracklist is used; inside the booklet there are full librettos in 4 different languages.

'A May Breeze' (from Mendelssohn) • Romanze Op. 94 (from Schumann) • Sérénade Espagnole Op. 20 No. 2 (by Glazunov) • Ballet in G (from Schubert's Rosamunde) • Larghetto (from Weber's violin sonata) [snip] and many more

leaflet:
1. 'A May Breeze' (Mendelssohn) • 2. Romanze Op. 94 (Schumann) • 3. La Précieuse in the style of Couperin* [snip] 8. Ballet in G (Schubert) • 9. Larghetto (Weber) [snip]

As we can see the tracklist on the cover is incomplete, but some songs had more information than in the booklet. Use the more informative version: 

1. 'A May Breeze'
[snip]
8. Ballet in G (from Schubert's Rosamunde)
9. Larghetto (from Weber's Violin Sonata)

For tracks 8 & 9 I used the variant as printed on the cover (back).
