#REDIRECT [[:History:Medley Style Proposal]] |
|||
=Style for Medleys= |
|||
This style guide applies to tracks that are labeled as medleys or that have a track name and many songs. |
|||
The general style should be "[[Track Title|TrackTitle]]: [[Song Title|SongTitle]] 1 / [[Song Title|SongTitle]] 2 / ..." |
|||
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. |
|||
Song numbers or letters should not be included. |
|||
==Example== |
|||
1. Foo |
|||
# Bar |
|||
# Baz |
|||
# Quux |
|||
1. Foo Medley |
|||
# Bar |
|||
# Baz |
|||
# Quux |
|||
1. Medley |
|||
# Bar |
|||
# Baz |
|||
# Quux |
|||
These tracks should be listed as "Foo: Bar / Baz / Quux", "Foo (medley): Bar / Baz / Quux", and "Medley: Bar / Baz / Quux" respecitvely. |
|||
==Discussion== |
|||
I don't think [[Song Title|SongTitle]]s should have numbers or letters because different releases might use different schemes (e.g. "a. ", "A. ", "I. " "* ", etc.). --[[User:dseomn|dseomn]] |
|||
I think "1 / 2 / ..." is better than "1, 2, ..., and N" because different languages use different commas (e.g. Hebrew uses a backwards comma) and it might be hard to figure out what language to write "and" in if the track uses different languages. Also, even if the track only uses one language, the moderator may not know the word for and. --[[User:dseomn|dseomn]] |
|||
I asked some related questions on [[Part Number Style|PartNumberStyle]]. See also how g0llum handled this on the albums of [http://musicbrainz.org/showartist.html?artistid=11314 Douglas Adams] (for example the first 3 albums) and how it is done on Ayreon's [http://musicbrainz.org/album/dffad68e-dfb7-4871-824d-c4fa6ed0fff4.html The Final Experiment]. What about part titles that are not mentioned on the cover but in the lyrics inside the booklet? When are they to be taken into the title? |
|||
I tried to analyze this a little bit and show why there are connections to [[Part Number Style|PartNumberStyle]]: There are different cases: |
|||
# One sond which has several parts which are spread over several tracks (-> [[Part Number Style|PartNumberStyle]]) |
|||
# Several songs which are combined in one track (-> MedleyStyle) |
|||
# One song which consists of several parts / sections but which are all combined in one track (-> ...?) |
|||
It is not always clear how to separate between 2. and 3. Often you also have mix forms like: one song/works which has several parts, some of them spread over tracks, some of them combined in one track. --[[User:Shepard|Shepard]] |
