Great. I missed this when I started out adding cantatas.

This looks neat to me. I have added a lot with the BWV and name part 
reversed, but unless there are good reasons for it, I think I prefer 
yours. Here's how mine would have looked:

'Cantata "Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben", BWV 147: X. Choral "Jesus 
bleibet meine Freude"'

NOTE 1: For opera we don't quote the opera and aria names, and I would 
like it very much if we could drop them for cantatas as well.

NOTE 2: A few Bach cantatas has parts. Here's one track I added for

'Cantata "Wer Dank opfert, der preiset mich", BWV 17, Part II: V. Aria 
(Tenor) "Welch Übermaß der Güte"'

The placement of the colon in the BWV 17 is not to my liking. I would 
prefer it if MB used the colon as delimiter between 
"WorkPartName:PiecePartName". But this is not done for operas and 
cantatas :(

NOTE 3: I included voice indication in parentheses (example above). In a 
relatively recent thread on mb-users on something else, someone pointed 
out that he wouldn't have included it, but then again, he didn't mind.)

Tempi are not included for opera parts, and I don't think I've seen a 
cantata sleeve with them. If you can give a nice-looking example, I 
won't have a problem with it.
