[mb-users] Colon/period usage in track titles

I'm wondering if we could get a bit of consensus on using colons or
periods in track titles. I'm sure this doesn't just apply to classical
tracks, but it seems to come up week after week there in editing land.
If we can find an agreement, maybe we could put this somewhere in the
docs.

An example:
"Symphony No. 1: IV. Finale: Allegro vivace"
"Symphony No. 1: IV. Finale. Allegro vivace"
(completely made up, by the way)

In this case, Finale is the "title" of the movement, and the
indication is "Allegro vivace".

I'm too far in to support either one at this point, so I'd just like
to get the discussion started. What do you think?

Cheers,
Andrew
