About

This page describes the Classical mode of the GuessCase JavaScript tool.

Implements the following Guidelines and CapitalizationStandards

Some rules are already included in standard GuessCaseMode/DefaultMode but will be repeated. (All this is very draft.)

Capitalizations

• Always lowercase

  • minor, major, minore, maggiore, mineur

  • sharp, flat (maybe they should be hypened to key (as D-sharp) but there's no consensus about this)

• Always uppercase

  • english key notation "A, B, C, D, E, F, G"

  • German notation: in fact quite a mess

• Proper case

  • italian key notation "Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Si"

    • Personnaly i've never saw those with a cap and wouldn't like it --lindestinel

Typos and proper standard formatting

• No. --- no num nr / Op. --- op opus opera

  • Always put dot at the end and a blank bfore number "No. 5" "Op. 43"

    • convert "Op. 2 #1" -> "Op. 2, No. 1". is this correct? -- Keschte

    • Generally yes. But please note that: 1) # could be sharp sign and could be confused, eventually check if it's adjacent with a number 2) we never reached consensus about commas, personally I wont add it. --ClutchEr2

    • I don't add the comma either, we already have one before Op., note that I've proposed a different notation (Op. 2/1) but no much people seem to like it --lindestinel

• Trim final dot and propercase work catalog

  • BWV D RV J Hob HWV WwO (Work without Opera) KV (Mozart, often noted as K. to be corrcted)

    • You mean Work Without Opus ? --lindestinel

      • I think Wwo is a mispelling for WoO (see ClassicalStyleGuide) --davitof

• common typos (updated list is on ClassicalEntriesThatNeedEditing)

  • adiago (adagio)

  • pocco (poco)

  • contabile (cantabile)

  • sherzo (scherzo)

  • allergro (allegro)

  • adante (andante)

  • largetto (larghetto)

  • allgro (allegro)

  • tocatta (toccata)

  • allegreto (allegretto)

  • attaca (attacca)

• check for pianist (piano) and conducted by (conductor)

Oddites

• Guess movement roman numerals and capitalize and dot them, at least uncommon ones

  • I. II. III. IV. V. VI. VII. VIII. IX. X. XI. XII. XIII. XIV. XV. could be enough

    • I think you can go to XXXII (Bach's Goldberg Variations) --davitof

  • it would be a great work if it would convert "2." to "II."

    I think about that if something is Act 2 or scene 1 this will be a problem though, how to define a *section* of the name? ~mo

    • Yes, but luckly Act or Scenes are (almost) never dotted so "2." is (quite) always a movement indication. --ClutchEr2

Movement tempos

• Use sentence mode for what comes after roman numerals. If this should be unfair for the little part of works with language other than Italian we could build a list of the words surely to be lowercased, it should not be too long.
