How do i configure the Performer Field to align like the Credit field.

Discog Performer field looks as follows after tagging:

A1 Best Of My Love

Bass – Verdine White Drums – Fred White Synthesizer – Larry Dunn Written-By – Maurice White Written-By, Guitar – Al McKay 3:40

A2 A Feeling Is

```
Bass – David Shields Drums – James Gadson Guitar – Marlo Henderson Written-By – Sheila Hutchinson* 

```

Would like it to align like the Credit field as follows:

sample: [http://www.discogs.com/release/1086664](http://www.discogs.com/release/1086664)

Best Of My Love

Bass – Verdine White  
Drums – Fred White  
Synthesizer – Larry Dunn  
Written-By – Maurice White  
Written-By, Guitar – Al McKay

A2 A Feeling Is

Bass – David Shields  
Drums – James Gadson  
Guitar – Marlo Henderson  
Written-By – Sheila Hutchinson\*

Thanks

If you use the pone script 4.0 then change the tag **ARTIST NAMES** of the settings file.

Got the line  
_Extra Artist - Track Credits - Name Variation: \>MIXARTIST_

a few lines below you find  
_- multiline tag field \>no_

change it to  
_- multiline tag field \>yes_

and create the scripts again.

Pone / Dano I would like to know if it's possible to make (2) modifications to the Web Script Settings:

1. The Credit tag witihn the Web Script Settings. How to remove the word: Credit from the Web Script update. I can do this manually, but I have to go to each \*.src

#\< ## ALBUM CREDITS - Main Section #  
findinline ""albumextraartists":" 1 1  
if " [{"

```
outputto "CREDITS"
say "\\\\u000d\\\\u000a" (Notice I have removed the word <i><b>Credit</b></i> after Say"                 

```

- (However - obviously - each time I update the Webscript it adds it back in to the new script.)

Is there a way within the Webscript to make the change.

1. How to modify the Web Script to add a Broken line after extra artist name (role) .

Extra Artist - Track Credits - Name Variation: \>PERFORMERS

- name/role format: \>role: name
- combine names with same roles \>no

if more than one extra track artist:

- multivalue tag field \>no
- multiline tag field \>yes
- list of names \>yes
  - seperating characters used in list \>;  
Extrafields: \>

- delete extra fields from main section \>yes

Example:

Album Credits:

## Stanley Clarke Bass/ Vocals

## George Duke Piano, Keyboards

## Todd Cochrane, Steve Hunt, Deron Johnson Keyboards

Howard Hewett, Alexis

Thanks

1. 

In the setting mp3 file of my discogs web script, go to:  
CREDITS; NOTES; IDENTIFIERS; COMPANIES  
At the begin, use the following settings:

Combine Credit fields with other fields:

- Track Credits Primary Names \>no

- Track Credits Name Variations \>no

- Album Credits Primary Names \> **no**

- Album Credits Name Variations \> **no**

(If credits are combined with other fields, the script uses an extra headline (the word "Credit:"), if not combined, there is no headline)

1. 

Note that there are two different credit/extra artists sections at Discogs: track credits and album credits.  
The settings you have posted are for the track credits:  
Extra Artist - **Track Credits** - Name Variation: \>PERFORMERS

But your example are album credits. For those, go to  
Extra Artist - **Album Credits** - Name Variation:  
(also in the ARTIST NAMES field of the settings file).  
There, use the following settings:

~~if more than one extra album artist:~~

- multivalue tag field \>no
- multiline tag field \>yes
- list of names \>no  
  
**Edit:**  
I think i misunderstood you. I thought you want a line break. But you actually want a broken line like this: - - - - - - -  
I experimentated a little with the script and found out that it is possible. Use the following settings:

if more than one extra album artist:

- multivalue tag field \>no
- multiline tag field \>no
- list of names \>yes
  - seperating characters used in list \>\u000A------------------------------------\u000A

Thanks for the quick response...

#1 - I got fixed immediately.

#2 not so easy... like you, I've tried different variations, but can't get it to format correctly.

[http://www.discogs.com/release/2062386](http://www.discogs.com/release/2062386) (Stanley Clarke)

Here's what I get:

Backing Vocals: Dee Dee Bridgewateru000A------------------------------------\u000A  
Drums: Darryl Brownu000A------------------------------------\u000A  
Drums: Harvey Masonu000A------------------------------------\u000A

Which again I would like to look as so:

## Backing Vocals: Dee Dee Bridgewater

## Drums: Darryl Brown

## Drums: Harvey Mason

## Electric Bass, Bass Guitar [Piccolo], Talkbox, Vocals: Stanley Clarke

It Seems there should be a way to insert a line break ---------------------- after any ;

Not a major project, but if you have another idea let me know. Currently, I'm doing it manually, but that gets old quickly.

Thanks

It works for me, I have tested it.

What Mp3tag Version are you using? Your forum profile says 2.45, which is pretty old.  
I think **\u000A** for linebreak was introduced in one of the latest updates. In older versions, you need **\\000A** , but that is not possible with my export script, because **\\** generates a mulitvalue tag field in Mp3tag.

You could also test **u000d\u000a** but I think that won't work either
