[quote]Complete credits from interior scans

@xainellechan
It doesn't seem mandatory to me to put "M-01" instead of "01" or "Track 01" in the notes. It is left to the free will of the contributor. Personally I don't like to put "M-xx" unless it's printed on the album, because it can be confused with the music numbers.
Example: https://vgmdb.net/album/68753

Similarly, it's not mandatory to put the song credits in the order "Vocals/Lyrics/Composition/Arrangement" in the notes (especially since it's not written in this order on this album), it's the submitter who chooses. And also to write "Vocals/Lyricist/Composer/Arranger" in the notes exactly as in the credits part which is linked. The staff can tell if I'm wrong.

If I was depa, I wouldn't want my presentation in the notes to be changed like that.

For the rest, you do a very good job on the site, xainellechan.

It's my usual way of formatting the track number. But, just finding out that it's wouldn't be necessary to put M-XX before the song credits, I think I would be fine to have these track numbers without the M- mark.

I do this because it could be a bit repetitive to have something that is written like this:
Composer: (composer name)
Arranger: (same composer name)

So when I put an artist who does both composing and arranging on the same line, it is much easier for me to know that the same artist does these credits.

Thanks so much for the compliment, by the way. I'm putting my hard work in adding and updating some albums, as well as also contributing to other user's submissions too. Being in this site for only months would be very unusual for a user. Have you known someone else who does much effort and improved within months of being on this site?

It's OK for that, when an artist has 2 or more roles at the same time. In fact I was talking about always using this model for song credits, in this order:

Vocals (or Vocal): artist name
Lyrics (or Lyricist): artist name
Composition (or Composer): artist name
Arrangement (or Arranger): artist name

It's nothing for the compliment, I sincerely mean it. You understood very quickly how it worked here indeed, especially since submissions are more complicated than before.
