Still trying to figure out an efficient way to bulk-correct dates on rels. My latest attempt left a bunch of pending edits that I can propagate from if someone would be so kind as to approve them: Open Edits for Harlem - MusicBrainz
Not a request for votes, but for some reasoned opinions: specifically, on a merge edit I just opened which affects a large number of artist entries related to film soundtrack choruses (Edit #105309008 - MusicBrainz).
Hi there, need help with adding correct work(s) to this live recording: Recording “The Clearing” by Metropole Orkest and Snarky Puppy - MusicBrainz linked to one work.
It actually consists of two parts separated by applause where the 2nd part is a much shorter and more rocking reprise (da capo) of the 1st part.
I would call the reprise a partly arrangement of the original composition. So how to???
In addition the linked video is split in 2 chapters on the accompanying DVD, transparently overlaying applause and start of the reprise with complete credits in the 2nd.

Usually a reprise is not a separate work. And, in this case, there is no ISWC for another work. I would make both (video) parts “a live recording of” this one work (two recordings of the same work on one album is not unusual)
Agreed. But there’s still the problem with the audio recording.
In fact it is a medley(?) from the original composition and (after applause) the reprise as edit (or partly or both) without any separation on the CD while for the DVD it is split by chapters.
How could this be represented in MB?
Annotation only?
Briefly.
Trying to remove relationships to delete bogus artist: no proof can be found (or provided by downvoter) that Alice Cooper’s touring band is actually performing without him but keeping his name.
Those touring artists tend to change from tour to tour and should be credited with the (already existing) “supporting [instrument] for” relationships instead of creating a new artist everytime.
