Shorten Song Title to the Movement

Classical Music often comprises a series of works, with each individual piece a movement within a work. When SongKong detects that a release contains multiple movements from a work it adds information to the Work, Movement, Movement No and Movement Total fields, often an album contains multiple works so adding this information allows songs to be organized by work rather than by album. Whenever a movement is linked to a work within MusicBrainz data then the MusicBrainz Composition and MusicBrainz Work fields are completed, but the Work and Movement fields are only used when movement is part of a multi movement work on the album. If the album is simply a compilation of extracts of different classical works and only contains single movements of works then these fields will not be added for those tracks.

The Shorten Song Title to the Movement option can be used to shorten the Title field to the movement because typically the title comprises both the work and the movement and such a title can become long and unwieldy, currently the Movement field is not well supported so most players would use the Title field for all songs and ignore the Movement field.

Options provide are:

However since iTunes 12.5.3 iTunes natively supports the Work, Movement, Movement No and Movement Total fields so there is no real need to shorten the Title field if you only use the iTunes player. If you have SongKong configured to update iTunes it will transfer these fields to iTunes but you do need to tell iTunes to use these fields instead of Title and Album as follows:
