	Magic Marmalade If you're not lost... It's not an adventure! Member since Jun 2014 3737 Points Moderator	Some guidance for adding Classical items: Please add soloists / composers / orchestras / conductors as separate names when entering them in the performers box... ("Add Missing Info" > "Add Extra Performers") ... this makes each artist individually searchable, and so displays anything they may have been involved with as part of their discography, rather than just the album they were involved with that particular group of artists (if you see what I mean). Enter artists names as per label within the entry itself using the spelling as it appears on sleeve / labels (album artist heading, and for each track, if different from this), but when entering to the performers box (as above) just use the standard spelling (if you know it), or just add the surname for individuals... ...it should then convert to the standard spelling of their full name when it appear in that box. (we are building this list of alternate spellings for artists, so some, if not many, may still not appear "converted" yet, if this is so, just leave a comment about it on the page, saying who hasn't converted, and as if by magic, several days later, if not sooner, this will have been acted upon :). Also, using: "/" to divide two or more artists in the heading, is easier to read if there is a space either side of it: "Magic / Marmalade / Git", as opposed to: "Magic/Marmalade/Git". (My eyes are shot, so please help the infirm, such as I ) Don't worry if you are uncertain about other details too much, it can all be fixed, and classical music entries are a nightmare in general / enjoyable challenge, and we're are making most of it up as we go - we'll settle in to a standard over time. 'Til then: Thanks, and.... Tally Ho!!!!
