musical work name // musical work title PARTS OF THE PAGE MAY BE OUT OF DATE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

The redirects, i.e. entries containing "=>" have been deleted on 2012-03-21.

alternative titles

• which is primary? Flor de Monserrat vs Pobre negrito
• 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)
  • 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
  • undetermined - appended with ' / ' e.g.
    • Loca de amor / La loca de amor
    • Mala estampa / Mala pinta (https://tango.info/T0370086784)
    • Bad: This is indistinguishable from single title containing ' / ' e.g.
      • 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
    • if same work it should be merged and only a redirect left
      • missing: criteria of 'same'.
  • translation e.g.
    • Sobre las olas (over the waves)
