You only know what the ArtistIntent is if you ask the artist, which is on a case by case basis :). In general, for 'normal' releases I do not object to adding spaces between two titles which are clearly seperate song titles. But when dealing with certain artists, ConsistentOriginalData should be applied and the tracks should be copied from the sleeve verbatim. For example, you definitely do not want to add spaces to the slashes in this track title: http://musicbrainz.org/track/95f5b438-0dfe-4061-bbc2-c12612ca1f60.html Ofcourse, this is just a single 'song' which just happens to have three forward slashes in the song title. There are probably examples of seperate songs which, by virtue of ConsistentOriginalData also do not get any extra spaces. But this doesn't need to be part of the MultipleTitleStyle guideline, as ConsistentOriginalData already trumps that. -- kuno / warp. _______________________________________________ Musicbrainz-style mailing list Musicbrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
