Using Work/Movement in Title Tag
I am stuck with a little problem that I can't seem to figure out:
I want to display the Work and Movement Tags in the Title field where these are tagged, otherwise use the Title Tag. In aliasTags I have added "Work:-Title" That part works just fine. To combine the Work and the Movement for display purposes, I added in tagFormat: "Work.displayFormat={$work$movement^^^ - }" to display the Work and the Movement, seperated by a hyphen. This part does not work. I only get the "Work" displayed but not the "Movement". Any idea what I am missing? Thanks NB: Just noticed I may have posted this in the wrong section of the forums.. Pls move as appropriate. |

RE: Using Work/Movement in Title Tag
I just figured it out:
The command for the combination of work and movement must be: Title.displayFormat={$title$movement^^^ - } This returns the desired result of showing work - movement in the title tag. EDIT: Nope, its not quite it. This does not allow me to list "Work" as an index as its being "aliased" as title. Still need to think... |

RE: Using Work/Movement in Title Tag
How about
Remove the AliasTags content TagFormat Title.displayFormat={$work$movement^^^ - } This will use the work and movement tag values if present, otherwise default to title. Nb - I use something similar but also including the movement number Nbb- I also remove the track number when a movement number is present to prevent both appearing in classical pieces as follows. tagValue TrackNumber.replace={MovementNumber} Edit You may also like to know how I defined the index for Classical works. It may help you define your Work index. tagFormat ClassicalWorks.indexFormat={$WorkComposer^$Work^ - $WorkNumber^, } ClassicalWorks is a defined index tag, but crucially does not exist on any audio tracks. The Work... tags on the other hand, do exist as tags with appropriate values. |
