Jerrybase is NOT introducing any new "song" to represent the D/S section of the show.
@InstituteJerry thinks the way that section of the show is not coded correctly since variations are often not listed. But no one liked this suggested solution, so he is going to roll up a wooler and get over it.
@InstituteJerry@bourgwick@FateMusic@dminches I support, strongly, adding annotations as needed. I'm sorry I haven't had time to assist with JB recently, and since I just got laid off, I'm hoping that time returns to me in coming days. However, if I do, there are probably a lot of potential things to spend time on. If you feel that this is worth your time immediately that's great, but I see it as something that could be refined over the course of years.
@mrcompletely@InstituteJerry@FateMusic@dminches in the long term, i definitely support more precision/granularity rather than less. i'll start with 2 spaceless exceptions that could be updated: 7/28/82 goes right from drumz into the spanish jam, 8/29/82 goes right from drumz into not fade away.
@bourgwick@mrcompletely@FateMusic@dminches sure, give me all the notes you have, email works too. There is much work to do. Before I got drafted into other work this AM I listened to 8 or so Spaces from 1980, and the drummers were on 7 of them. Added a note to that effect.
@InstituteJerry@mrcompletely@FateMusic@dminches my impression is that hart plays at points during the vast majority of space segments in the early '80s, usually hanging for a bit after garcia returns.
@bourgwick@mrcompletely@FateMusic@dminches You can see why I tried to punt on this (as Deadbase did). Would rather spend time elsewhere, but hey, that's the job. These variations also complicate some of the Advanced Searching. After I get the data in the way I want it, I will need to circle around to that next. I have not lost track of your request to make "followed by" searches ignore non-songs. I am going to have to figure out an elegant way to do that.
@InstituteJerry@mrcompletely@FateMusic@dminches from a data point of view, complicated/annoying af. but from a musical perspective, way fascinating (to me, anyway!) & exactly why i'm going through tape by tape. might take a bit, but it'll get there!
@bourgwick@mrcompletely@FateMusic@dminches I enjoy it more than I thought I would, but it is time consuming, and derails the pipeline (as the Jams project did). With all this discovered work, things we want to do (new features/data sets) are seemingly getting farther away, not closer, which is a bit frustrating,
