Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Add recording_credits: who plays on a recording, from
MusicBrainz and Discogs

An Artificial Dumb lookup for the connectome. Given an artist and a title,
it finds every MusicBrainz recording, folds reissues to one release per
release group, and prints each source's performance credits marked by
scope: credited on this track, or on the whole release. Release-wide
credits are leads to check against liner notes, never answers.

+Who plays on a recording: an Artificial Dumb lookup.
+
+ python3 tools/recording_credits.py "Tony Rice" "House of the Rising Sun"
+
+Asks MusicBrainz for every recording of the title whose artist credit
+mentions the artist, then reads each release's credits from MusicBrainz and,
+where MusicBrainz links one, from Discogs. It prints what each source says,
+and nothing else: no merging of people across sources and no guessing.
+
+The scope of each credit matters as much as the credit. Both databases mostly
+attach players to the whole release ("tracks: all"), which says who is on the
+record, not who plays on this song. So every credit is marked:
+
+ track the source attaches it to this track
+ release the source attaches it to the whole release
+
+Only "track" credits answer the question. "release" credits are a lead to
+check against liner notes, and the output says so instead of
+promoting them.
+
+Reissues are folded together: one release per MusicBrainz release group,
+the earliest dated one.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] recording_credits: judge each part of a composite Discogs
role

Traversal outward from Unit of Measure turned up two leaks in the
non-performance filter, which judged the whole role string:

- 'Guitar, Producer' starts with 'guitar', so producers were listed as
players (Tony Rice on Got Me a Martin Guitar; Scott Vestal on Bluegrass '97).
- 'Producer, Engineer, Recorded By, Guitar' starts with 'producer', so two
players were hidden entirely (Wyatt Rice and Larry Rice on Larry and Wyatt
Rice).

Roles are now split on commas and slashes and each part is judged alone; the
printed role keeps only the performance parts. The role list is normalized on
both sides, so 'Executive Producer' and 'Executive-Producer' are one entry,
and the roles the traversal exposed are added: songwriter, sleeve notes,
created by, film director, music director, project manager.

Releases with the same title and date in different release groups fold into
one. Differently-titled releases of one show do not: nothing in the data says
they are one tape.
