The question is how should a box set be split up? By disk or by title?

This one, for instance,

The Midnight Horror Collection: Charles Band Presents has these two child records, added by disk ID, Puppet Master 4 and Puppet Master 5 / Curse of the Puppet Master. Would it be better to have it like this as two entries for the two disks or split in to 3 entries reflecting the 3 titles is the set?

Personally, I would rather have 3 titles as it makes sorting more meaningful and finding "Curse of the Puppet Master" easier using the web form, rather than having to do a full substring search on the entire list just to see if it's in some set. If I were to go and modify this and split it by title rather than disk ID, would that violate any contribution rules?

Found my answer,

"Discs with more than one movie on a single side should be entered as one profile per movie. Use a disc ID profile, and as many disc ID alternate profiles as required."

I'll edit such cases as I find time and come across them.

OK, I don't understand what is meant by "disk ID alternate profile"

I found an already entered disk ID for one of the disks I was going to start with

Puppet Master 1 Thur 5

It says that each movie should be entered as a separate profile using disk ID alternate profiles, but how do I do that? So, I create new profiles for each movie and assign the same disk ID to all 5? Would that be correct?

It's a little flaky and doesn't necessarily always assign a valid alternate, but I THINK I managed to get it.  Thanks.
