From today we are displaying instrumentals separately in the (sometimes long) list of covers versions. Just like the different translations, they will be listed in a separate table.

Is the instrumental flag still useful now that the instrumentals have a separate table?

I do think it is still very useful on release pages, so users do know ad once which of the performances on a particular release are instrumentals.

I'm backing up Erik here, he asked more than once to have them on release pages. It would also be helpful on orchestral releases (having flaws or not).

Instrumental flag has been added to release pages too now.

It's only visible for editors, as it mainly seems to be for housekeeping.

Thanks, that's indeed helpful and supportive!

Although we now have instrumental sections for songs, is there any reason to assume instrumental flags on release pages etc. wouldn't be of interest to users?

I agree with Erik. Why is the instrumental flag only made available to editors?

Because it seems to be mainly for spotting errors by editors - that's why it was asked in the first place. If other editors agree that it should be shown to visitors on release pages, I'll change it.

The flag on performance and work pages has little value now since the instrumentals are listed separately.
