Hi all,
In my silly wisdom I added all involved people including performer: instrument to the “INVOLVED PEOPLE LIST”. I would like to strip all performer:instrument entries but keep the Involved people entries ie: Person: mixer; Person: engineer; Person: producer; Person: writer etc.
I’ve tried quite a few different examples that people have previously posted on the forum but haven’t had much luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I would also love to know how to rearrange the “Music Credits List” field from Performer:instrument; Performer:instrument format to instrument:performer; instrument:performer format. Thank you so much to anyone who takes the time to write a reply.
God bless.
Aaron.
What do you qualify as instrument? E.g. is "vocals" an instrument?
I think you need a list of instruments in the end.
What should replace the instrument?
Or should the name vanish with it?
Could you give real examples for before and after the treatment?
I would like all entries that are instrument:performer removed including vocals but entries that are
producer:person; engineer:person; composer:person; mix:person; writer:person; arranger:person; to remain.
Ideally I’d like an action to remove the entries as described above but also have an action that moves the instrument:performer entries to the “MUSIC CREDITS LIST”.
I honestly wish I could write these myself but I am absolutely terrible at regular expressions no matter how much I try and make sense of it.
Sincerely appreciate your help.
Aaron
I tried to see some kind of pattern in the supplied string. But I could not.
It would have been easier if a semicolon had been used to separate the individual pieces of data. But that is not the case. Sometimes there is one:
But then, when the instruments start
there is no semicolon but a colon, yet, a semicolon is added in front of the Bass.
So, enlighten me: what is the underlying rule?
