How to deal with the separate pieces of an album

Post by coulonnus »

I find two forms of presentation in the Work pages, in about equal proportions, when an album is available in separate pieces. e.g. an Album of Friendly Dogs can have these two forms:
|File Description 1=1. The Poodle
|File Description 2=2. The Labrador

====The Poodle (No.1)====
|File Description 1=Complete Score
====The Labrador (No.2)====
|File Description 2=Complete Score

Is either form recommended? Does the presence of the Complete Album in a single score in this work page impose either form?

I think the top method would be preferable in cases where the scores are from the same edition (since they'll share the same publisher/editor information) in which case they could be under a header of ====Selections==== if all pieces from the album aren't available.

I would agree with Cypressdome.
