MB Enhancements for classical music

You’re welcome! I wish all the other issues were that easy to fix!

Small improvement: I fixed the column width of the media row, which was changing when tracks were collapsed.

Tested. Works even better!

I was too fast. Unfortunately there is one problem which currently reduces usability of the script: when collapsible media are activated, the button to batch-add relationships disappear. Normally it is located just above the list of media.

That’s fixed. Just needed to be a bit more specific when hiding table rows!
And to make it pretty, I’ve added a marker to indicate whether the media is collapsed or not.

Here is a small script to display track groups, using an analysis of track titles to identify the track groups titles.
It should work well for releases which follows the " Classical / Track / Title" guidelines.

It works best when credits are displayed at the bottom.

Userscript to display tracks groups
// ==UserScript==
// @name         MusicBrainz UI: Display Tracks Groups
// @namespace    http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version      0.1
// @description  try to take over the world!

/* global $ */

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('div.annotation').after('<p id="tracksgroupsEnabler"><a>Click here to display Tracks Groups</a></p>');
    $('#tracksgroupsEnabler a').click(function(){
        $('#content .tbl.medium').each(function(){
            var trackGroupLevel = 0;
            var currentTrackGroupTitle = '';
            $(this).children().find('tr').not('.subh').each(function(){
                var trackTitle = $(this).children().find('.mp bdi').html();
                if (trackTitle !== undefined) {
                    var trackTitleSplit = trackTitle.match(/(.*?)\s*:\s*(.*)\s*/);
                    if (trackTitleSplit !== null) {
                        var [,trackGroupTitle, movementTitle] = trackTitleSplit;
                        if (trackGroupTitle !== currentTrackGroupTitle){
                            currentTrackGroupTitle = trackGroupTitle;
                            $(this).before("<tr style='background-color: #c8c8c8;'><td></td><td colspan='4'><strong>" + currentTrackGroupTitle + "</strong></td></tr>");
                        }
                        $(this).children().find('.mp bdi').html(movementTitle);
                    }
                }
            });
        });
        // $('#tracksgroupsEnabler').hide();
    });
});

It’s a rough script, to be tested. Let me know what you think about it.

Sorry to bump this topic but I proposed a lighter approach to this feature:

It would be a simple visual header like we have already for the Data Tracks and being just a visual feature (like on Discogs), it would not need as much thinking and complexity as the full MBS-6680 experience.

The time freed by implementing a smaller feature could be then spent on Collection Highlighting MBS-3491. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
