Picard 2.9 Beta 1

Re. “Use standardized artist names” by default

There are quite a lot of entries in the ArtistsWithMultipleOccurrencesInArtistCredits report.

How should these be “fixed”, are there any non-trivial cases?

E.g. Artist credit “ちょむP(TakeponG)” - MusicBrainz

Right now it looks like this:

With “Use standardized artist names” enabled Picard will output this:

To handle this case I see three options for editors.

1. Add it in the “artist as credited” field
   

   

2. Add it in the join phrase field
   

   

3. Remove it completely
   

   

Option 1 seems the most straightforward solution without having to discard it completely while still delivering the expectations of “standardized artist names”.
Option 2 would still output both names if I’m not mistaken and might lead to similar problems when localizing the name too. (I haven’t used Picard in quite a while)
But what about option 3? Would it make any sense?
