One Roof Under 
<http://musicbrainz.org/release/68f74f3e-1023-46d7-9d3a-10082489ae59.html> by 
Tweed & Cutting is a typical (though very good) traditional album. Each track on 
the CD is a set of several tunes. However, on this CD each track has also been 
given a name of its own. For example, track 5 is the tunes Johsefines Dopp Waltz 
(by Roger Tallroth), When Chloe (traditional, arranged by Cutting, Tweed, and 
Carr), and Ville de Quebec (written by Chris Wood). It is given the name Johsefines.

Is there any way to encode the names of the tunes in musicbrainz, or are we 
limited to the track name? Also, is there any way to put advanced relationships 
to the parts of the track, so for example the correct composers could be linked 
to the correct tunes?

(Also, related but hopefully simpler, what's the correct composer to use for a 
song marked "traditional", i.e. so old no one knows who composed it?)
