This panel is used to configure functions to be performed by the Multi Field Editor's Credits panel's CCE Functions menu item. These panels are equivalent to functionality found in the Combined Credits Editor and the same named action statement.
These functions are always performed on Musician Credits and Involved People. This differs from the other Credit panel functions which operate on only one of the fields. The table has a context menu supporting the enabling and disabling of all functions.
You can close the panel via Cancel which will discard all changes; via Save which will save the changes; or if appropriate, via Modify Credits which will save and apply the functions.
The following functions are available. Note that when more than one is selected they are applied in a top down order.
- Apply to all files
- Credits found in any track will be applied to all files. The Combine Credits function is identical but only operates on one of Musician Credits and Involved People.
- Remove qualifiers
- Some credits imported from Discogs have qualifying text enclosed in square brackets following the role's name. This function removes the qualifiers. Note that some Roon predefined credits have qualifiers.
- Remove empty credits
- All items which have a name with no associated role will be removed.
- Resolve Aliases
- All items where the credit name matches a known credit with an alias, will be changed to the alias name. The mapping of a resolved alias will be enforced. For example with the supplied known credit data, Acoustic Bass will be changed to Base (Acoustic).
- Resolve non standard mappings
- Any item which has the same role as a known credit will be mapped to the Yate field associated with the known credit. eg. a credit of Guitar mapped to Involved people will be changed to map to Musician Credits.
- Resolve empty credits
- Any empty credit in Involved People will be associated with Administrator. Any empty credit in Musician Credits will be associated with Performer.
- Apply alphabetic case of known people
- All person names will be looked up in the Artist list. If a match is found, the saved artist's alphabetic case will replace whatever was entered.
- Apply alphabetic case of known credits
- All credits which match known credits will have the known credit's alphabetic case applied.
- Merge duplicates into Involved People
