| − | ==Description==
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Label Alias''' is similar in purpose and intent to [[Artist Alias|ArtistAlias]], which you should read for more insight about how [[MusicBrainz]]' searches work, and what are the current features and limitations of aliases (aliases have to be unique for example).
| |
| − | | |
| − | Mainly, you may create one or more '''Label Alias''' for one of the following reasons:
| |
| − | * Mispellings: ''Blu note'' for ''Blue Note''
| |
| − | * Variants: ''ESP'' for ''ESP-Disk''
| |
| − | * Numbers: spell them out, or on the other hand, use numerical representation
| |
| − | * Stylized names: if some style elements have been retained in the [[Label Sort Name|LabelSortName]], you may add an additional alias without the stylization
| |
| − | * Acronym: some labels are widely known by their acronym, though their correct name is the longer form
| |
| − | * Misencodings (see [[Artist Alias|ArtistAlias]])
| |
| − | * Localization and transliterations: different countries - or even different standards in the same country - may have different transliterations rules
| |
| − | * Translations: some labels may additionally have an official translated name that doesn't match the transliterated one(s)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Be aware that you mustn't use aliases for label changing names (instead, use two different label entries, and add a [[Label Rename Relationship Type|LabelRenameRelationshipType]] between them), and certainly not either for subprojects/imprints of a given label.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Editing Trick==
| |
| − | | |
| − | To workaround the limitation of aliases having to be unique in the database, you may use aliases containing an extra character after a space (eg: if "somealias" is already, use "somealias .").
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Related Fields==
| |
| − | | |
| − | There are two other fields in the database that are related to '''Label Alias'''.
| |
| − | * [[Label Name|LabelName]]
| |
| − | * [[Label Sort Name|LabelSortName]] determines how a label is sorted alphabetically, and present a version of the name using latin charset, without stylization
| |
| − | | |
| − | Similarly, [[MusicBrainz]] also has [[Artist Name|ArtistName]], [[Artist Sort Name|ArtistSortName]] and [[Artist Alias|ArtistAlias]].
