Guidelines

This is used when a new work is based on or includes (parts of) another work. The works are usually by different artists. Common examples would include classical fantasias and variation works, or when a new song is based on a poem or the lyrics of another song. The new work must be a new composition, not just an arrangement or the same music with different or translated lyrics.

Keep in mind that in order to be able to say that a work is the basis for another, the use of parts of the original work should be essential for the new work. For works that only briefly quote the music or lyrics of another, use “musical quotation” and “lyrical quotation” respectively.

Can also be used if a composer rewrites old material into a new, different work, and you cannot say that it is a revision or an arrangement of the old work.
Do not confuse this with medleys, mash-ups, remixes, etc.
Only use one version-of relationship between any two works. That is, the second work is either an arrangement or "based on" the first work, not both.
