is there a way in orange to link all of an artist's/performer's work with all of the bands of which he or she was/has been a member over an entire career? without obliterating one or another artist (band) profile?
the line-up tab under artist profile seems to be only textual and not interactive.
the composer feature isn't helpful if the bassist (e.g.) didn't contribute to the composition...
the "other spellings" feature eradicates a related profile.
the new collaboration feature (although a wonderful addition -- THANK YOU!) doesn't seem sufficient, unless i turn every band into a "collaboration" of members...not practical, or even true.
random example: under the artist tree i'd like to be able to see all of joe strummer's work in one branch: as a solo artist, as a member of "the clash," as a member of "the 101'ers," as a member of "joe strummer & the mescaleros," and as a producer of a pogues album. etc. without losing any of the detail i've already entered for each.
am i missing something?
