As far as I can tell, the current style guideline information doesn't
have any examples covering the intersection of DiscNumberStyle and
ClassicalStyleGuide. Which order should the information mandated by
each go, that is should it be:
Big Works (Timbuktu Philharmomic feat. conductor Fred Nertz) (disc 1)
or
Big Works (disc 1) (Timbuktu Philharmomic feat. conductor Fred Nertz)
I think the first option is more logical - particularly if the discs
of the release appear together in a list it's more quickly obvious
that they are discs of the same release if the variable part is at the
end.
It's a little less obvious when the disc number includes a disc title
as well, and several release of this type have been entered the other
way around recently.
