Search pieces by voice gender...

Post by ogisha007 »

I believe this would not be hard to implement, and it would be very useful IMO. For example, if I want to search for pieces for male voices only, and I don't care if it's TTBB, TTTBB or TTTTTBBB etc etc etc... It would save a considerable amount of time if it's possible to implement.

Sorry if this was asked already.

Best regards.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll check if there is a relatively simple way to implement it; unfortunately, given the current category structure, it's not something so straightforward as it might seem.

It might be possible to create categories Mixed voices, Female voices, Male voices and then put the various voicing categories into these as subcategories. Then it becomes a question of whether we can make a DPL query on, say Male voices, that includes subcategories. We'll look into this further.
