	version mention in a track title by Frederic Da Vitoria :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Hello In this release http://musicbrainz.org/show/release/?releaseid=379884 , 2 tracks mention a version. What is actually printed is this: "Ponto de Macumba" in big 3D font then, in small ordinary font: "(Trad.) Version #". I feel the current MB titles give the impression that "Version #" is part of the title. Shouldn't the MB titles actually be: "Ponto de Macumba (version #)"? -- Frederic Da Vitoria (davitof) Membre de l'April - « promouvoir et défendre le logiciel libre » - http://www.april.org _______________________________________________ MusicBrainz-users mailing list MusicBrainz-users@... http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-users

This seems to be a similar case. Ok. Now a little harder, IMO: http://musicbrainz.org/release/6af6cc90-9bbe-4093-9155-8d2ef8aaa4ff.html for a few songs translated/adapted from other languages gives the original title. On the track listing, the font of the original translation is the same as the Brazilian title, only parentheses separate the original from the Brazilian. Still, I believe this falls under ExtraTitleInformationStyle. But this style says lower case should be used. OTOH, the original titles are Titles and as such should use upper case initials. So who "wins"? Should I enter "Uma bela história (La bohème)" or "Uma bela história (la bohème)"? -- Frederic Da Vitoria (davitof) Membre de l'April - « promouvoir et défendre le logiciel libre » - http://www.april.org _______________________________________________ MusicBrainz-users mailing list MusicBrainz-users@... http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-users

The ETI guideline about having the contents of the brackets in lowercase only applies when you're dealing with, ETI. If you look at the emphasized text above, it should be pretty clear that "(La bohème)" doesn't fall under the ETI umbrella because it is not something used to distinguish that particular track from another track of the same name. I would consider "(La bohème)" to be part of the 'Main Title', which means it should follow its 'Capitalization Standard'. As for "Watashi (Sapporo 76)" vs. "Watashi (sapporo 76)", I'm not sure, someone else will have to answer that.

Even if it was ETI, it would be uppercased because Sapporo is a name.
