I've just had 2 experiences/problems with medleys. If you separate song titles with "/" they show up as entered. If you use the same "/" to separate composers the "/" is replaced with a comma. This makes it appear as if all composers listed wrote all the songs in the medley.

I had originally entered the tracks like this:
Medley: a) song1 b) song2 c) song3 and same for composers a) composer1 etc.
but I thought it was taking up too much space so I went with "/" as a separator. As I've mentioned, it does not work in the composer column.

I need to know the exact way this is to be done. Please and thanks.

To separate composers and tracks I use ; also SECTIONBREAK after Medley so it becomes a title. Have added the SECTIONBREAK to the Bob Ralston LP to illustrate.

Dear Redpunk...
That's nice looking but it does not address the point I'm trying to make. Composers names are still stuck together as if they all wrote every song in the medley.

What I've done re. composers is to separate each set by a semi-colon.

e.g., if song 'A' of the medley was composed by Doodle and Wapthorne and song 'B' by Farnes, Barnes and Pollack, I'd enter the composers as 'Doodle, Wapthorne; Farnes, Barnes, Pollack'.

Whitewhale if you look at the first part of my reply I said tracks and composers separated by a ; which is a semi colon. But I could not illustrate that as I do not know which composers go with which tracks as there are no scans.

I like it! Since I haven't added images I am the only one who can correct the pages I've added. Can I type it all out with semicolons into the correction tab? And remember, whatever I type to you folks has no emotional undertones. I mean no offense to anybody. Peace!

No offence taken, peace and love. You can advise the Mods via the correction tab, not sure though whether there is a limit on characters.
