musical work name // musical work title PARTS OF THE PAGE MAY BE OUT OF DATE
Overview
Until 2012-03-21 the work name field contained alternate names if existent. If A is the main name, and B and C alternative names, then the format was:
A // B // C
On 2012-03-21 only the primary name was kept in the main name field and a second field for the alternative names was established. The separator was changed from " // " to " | ". The format now is:
main or primary field : A secondary field : B | C
Redirects, i.e. work names containing "=>" are in the process of being deleted.

- current tango.info practice varies e.g. artist may contain a second title which may or may not be an atlernative. Cases observed include:
- true alternative - appended in brackets e.g.
- De todo te olvidas (cabeza de novia)
- better?: De todo te olvidas (Cabeza de novia)
- De todo te olvidas (cabeza de novia)
- REDIRECT - appended with '=>' e.g. Copa del olvido => La copa del olvido
- only in workslist, indicates a "redirect"
- i.e. "Copa del olvido" is wrong and the correct title is "La copa del olvido"
- Better?: state only the correct title
- 9 de julio => Nueve de julio
- i.e. "Copa del olvido" is wrong and the correct title is "La copa del olvido"
- only in workslist, indicates a "redirect"
- undetermined - appended with ' / ' e.g.
- Loca de amor / La loca de amor
- Mala estampa / Mala pinta (http://eng.tango.info/mala10)

- La Yumba / Adiós Noniño, a work combining two works.
- Palabras de Carlos Di Sarli / El choclo [1]
- Represented as a distinct work e.g. El tabernero and Tabernero
