'''Status:''' [[Image:Attention.png]] ''This is a [[Proposed Style Guideline|ProposedStyleGuideline]] and an [[Open Style Issue|OpenStyleIssue]]. It is not yet agreed on.'' |
|||
This style guide applies to tracks that are labeled as medleys or tracks that have multiple songs. |
|||
'''The general style should be "[[Track Title|TrackTitle]]" if ''all'' of the songs in the medley are not original to the medley (i.e. if the same recording was released elsewhere) or "[[Track Title|TrackTitle]]: [[Song Title|SongTitle]] 1 / [[Song Title|SongTitle]] 2 / ..." if at least one of the songs is original to the medley.''' |
|||
If there is no [[Track Title|TrackTitle]], it should be left out along with the ": ". |
|||
If there are no [[Song Title|SongTitle]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s, they should be left out along with the ": ". If the songs that make up the medley are listed somewhere other than the [[Track List|TrackList]] and the recordings were released elsewhere, they should be linked with [[Advanced Relationships|AdvancedRelationships]]. If they're listed elsewhere and are original to the medley, they should be added to the appropriate annotation. |
|||
If the [[Track Title|TrackTitle]] ends in "medley" it should be changed to "(medley)" unless the [[Track Title|TrackTitle]] ''is'' "medley" in which case it shouldn't be changed. Also, if the word medley is obviously part of the [[Track Title|TrackTitle]] it should not be converted to (medley). |
|||
If a [[Song Title|SongTitle]] is repeated, it should be listed each time as if it weren't the same [[Song Title|SongTitle]]. |
|||
Song numbers or letters should not be included. |
|||
You should use the [[Medley Relationship Type|MedleyRelationshipType]] to link a medley to the individual songs, recorded elsewhere, that make it up if the songs are not original to the medley. |
|||
==Example== |

|||
#* using "[[Track Title|TrackTitle]]" because the songs are not original to the medley |

===Theoretical Examples=== |
|||
These examples should cover every possible scenario. |
|||
* <nowiki>#</nowiki> Foo |
|||
** <nowiki>##</nowiki> Bar |
|||
** <nowiki>##</nowiki> Baz |
|||
** <nowiki>##</nowiki> Quux |
|||
should be "Foo: Bar / Baz / Quux" |
|||
* <nowiki>#</nowiki> Foo Medley |
|||
** <nowiki>##</nowiki> Bar |
|||
** <nowiki>##</nowiki> Baz |
|||
** <nowiki>##</nowiki> Bar |
|||
should be "Foo (medley): Bar / Baz / Bar" |
|||
* <nowiki>#</nowiki> Medley |
|||
** <nowiki>##</nowiki> Bar |
|||
** <nowiki>##</nowiki> Baz |
|||
** <nowiki>##</nowiki> Quux |
|||
where the Quux recording has been released elsewhere, should be "Medley: Bar / Baz / Quux" with [[Advanced Relationships]] to the Quux recording that was used in the medley |
|||
* <nowiki>#</nowiki> This Is a Great Medley |
|||
** <nowiki>##</nowiki> Bar |

|||
** <nowiki>##</nowiki> Bar |
