Derivative works (mainly VG): Cover recording, or arrangement?

MusicBrainz Style
2

New works are supposed to require one of,
A) “Significant” changes to the music.
B) The addition of new writers that did not participate in the previous version of the work
C) If Classical… (which VGM is not)

I merge VGM works if I do not believe they pass the threshold described in Other version.

Example of duplicate works:

  1. Edit #70681138 - MusicBrainz
  2. Edit #70680477 - MusicBrainz

Example of works kept separate because of “significant” changes to the music:

  1. Prelude (FF1-3) Song “プレリュード” - MusicBrainz vs. Prelude (FF4-7) Song “プレリュード” - MusicBrainz
