Learned by advice

• No "Nr." (See edit #6262364)

• Parts in the disc title should be separated by slashes. (see edit #6232220)

• Tempi in the track title should be separated by hyphens. (see edit #6232082 and MultipleTitleStyle)

• Use "(feat. <artist>)" when adding artists to the track title except for orchestras. (See edit #6262372)

• Use ″ (U+2033 'DOUBLE PRIME') as the symbol for inch. (See edit #28374999)

Tools

• You can use (undocumented?) wiki style in comments
  • "[Style/Language/English]" results in Style/Miscellaneous
  • "edit #5582056" results in edit #5582056

• Punctuation:
  • As a general rule, MusicBrainz editors should correct spelling and punctuation. (Style/Principle/Error_correction_and_artist_intent)
  • Use of basic ASCII punctuation characters such as ' and " is allowed, but typographically-correct punctuation is preferred. (Style/Miscellaneous)
  • Picard can convert Unicode punctuation characters in MusicBrainz data to ASCII for consistent use of punctuation in tags. ([1], [2])
  • Japanese artists have a tendency to choose capitalization and punctuation for aesthetic reasons; and to be very consistent regarding case over all releases. For this reason, words in the Latin script on a Japanese release should be in the same case as on the album art if other available sources, such as official discography or record label pages, are consistent; not normalized according to English or other capitalization standards. (Style/Language/Japanese)
  • English quotation marks: ‘…’ “…” “…” ‘…’ ([3])
  • German quotation marks (in Germany): „…“ ‚…‘ »…« ›…‹ ([4])
  • English apostrophe: ’ (U+2019 'RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK') ([5])
  • English ellipsis is treated inconsistently ([6]). Some authorities require three dots, some suggest using the prefabricated ellipsis character (U+2026 ). The use of spaces before and/or after the ellipsis is also inconsistent.
  • English number signs come in different shapes. # (U+0023 'NUMBER SIGN'), ＃ (U+FF03 'FULLWIDTH NUMBER SIGN'), and ﹟ (U+FE5F 'SMALL NUMBER SIGN').
  • The sharp sign in music notation: ♯ (U+266F 'MUSIC SHARP SIGN'), 𝄪 (U+1D12A 'MUSICAL SYMBOL DOUBLE SHARP'), 𝄰 (U+1D130 'MUSICAL SYMBOL SHARP UP'), 𝄱 (U+1D131 'MUSICAL SYMBOL SHARP DOWN'), and 𝄲 (U+1D132 'MUSICAL SYMBOL QUARTER TONE SHARP')
  • The numero sign № (U+2116 'NUMERO SIGN').
  • The prime symbol ′ (U+2032 'PRIME') is commonly used to represent feet (ft), arcminutes (am) and minutes (min). The double prime ″ (U+2033 'DOUBLE PRIME') represents inches (in), arcseconds (as) and seconds (s). ([7])
  • Please, let's never get started with white space characters. ([8])

Open questions

• How can edits be protected?
  • Sometimes the spelling is special, some annotations are non-trivial. Is there a way to subscribe to releases instead of artists?
  • At that time, there's only two ways to "protect" stuff: (a) write a big fat warning in the release annotation and/or (b) subscribe to the artists, and vote/watch the changes. Now, there's some discussion to address this in DataQuality. -- RobertKaye 2007-02-12
• Will there be more filters and options to search for edits?
  • I'm still missing "order by closing date", "All my open edits that have comments from someone else", "All open edits from other editors that I commented" and "All my open edits that are in conflict with another open edit".

Disclaimer

I think this is a good place to collect open questions and resolved issues. Drop me a line if I'm wrong. I will delete this page then.

• Please don't delete it. It's your page after all ;). Now, maybe this is not the most appropriate place to ask questions, as most people won't notice (errr... well, that leaves you with answers from the "not-most" people :p). There are two good places for fast answers: the users mailing list, and IRC. -- dmppanda 20:54, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
