Attributes
The following attributes can be used with this relationship type:
translated
This attribute indicates that lyrics have been translated, literally or freely, from the original language. This does not apply if an entirely new set of lyrics have been set to an existing melody.
Guidelines
You should use this relationship for operas and other scene works that simply adapt a work for the scene while mostly reusing the original text. For works that reuse the general story but with a mostly newly written libretto, use “based on”.
You can use this relationship for abridged versions of longer books, for example in order to record an audiobook.
For musical arrangements or orchestrations, please use the appropriate relationships instead.
