Work to Publisher, and, Work to Score URL

  1. For Works, there is a “Work-to-Artist relationship” with the option of Publisher, but there does not appear to be a way to add a publishing company, is that correct?

  2. Works also has an “External Link” option to a Score URL, but this allows only a whitelist of public domain scores. Is there a reason we don’t allow a link where a score can be purchased?

Releases have a commercial label, and URLs to commercial sites for mailorder and download.

2

Is a publisher added as an “artist”? Or as a “label”?

3

You can both link artists and labels as publishers of works. The latter are even the most frequent.

OK, thanks, I see I can add a relationship linking to a Label as a publisher.

That just the published score of a work, and a URL that is not on the whitelist.

The score URL is for places where people can get/see the score freely. We have “purchase for download” URL relationships for Releases and Recordings, but I don’t think anyone’s suggested such a link for Works (yet). Loading... would be the place the suggest this if it’s something you would like to see. :slight_smile:
