Medley Order

Notwithstanding the name of the performance, how should a medley be visualized on site?

Example: Heaven / More Than Words / To Be with You

I would say that the 3 different works are first materially heard in order: More Than Words/To Be With You/Heaven

Is this a general question? Or specifically regarding this entry?

General question with an example.

Tarheel is right

In the edit parts menu we can change the order parts

But left the title as is, because that's what the backsleeve says.

To be clear, I'm not suggesting adjusting the SHS guidelines on the names of performances. I will adjust to a uniform naming system for my notes, but they aren't public.

I'm only asking about how the works in the medley are visualized and ordered on the performance page.

For my notes, I renamed as: "More Than Words/To Be With You/Heaven"

As you can see (blue accentuated) they are now visualized and ordered properly as for the parts.

I saw that Jojo, but is that just editor preference or a best practice ~or~ is the order a guideline that needed correcting?

Don't think so,

In this special case the order of the parts heard in the performance Heaven / More Than Words / To Be with You is not in line with the title as showed on the release.

But as you can see we can (re-)organise the parts in the parts section.

But according to the guidelines, the title of the performance should stay Heaven / More Than Words / To Be with You, although this is wrong.

Again. my question isn't regarding the name on site for the performance. The question is regarding how the covered works in a medley are ordered elsewhere on the page. If such order isn't a guideline, then I won't bother with such matters.

I don't no if there is a guideline for the way the parts-section should be ordered.

Maybe Bastien can give you the answer.

I will add that I originally wrote "first materially heard in order" for a reason. There could be judgment calls as to "material" such as we often have with instrumentals.

I'm sure a recording could (e.g.) start with what might be considered an element but later return with a more material part of the same work. Judgment calls alone could make some guideline difficult.

Currently there isn't an explicit guideline on this.

But we can draft one if you think it's necessary.
