Since there is no "Theme By" credit in DVDP, they should not be credited at all.
We had this discussion several time already. This is nothing but your personal opinion, not the forum's. On the contrary, it is a personal preference to use "Composer" or "Song Writer" for an on-screen credit other than "Composer" or "Song Writer". The Rules clearly state that if the credit is not listed in the table, it should not be entered, but certain people have been ignoring that little fact for quite some time. | | | | Hal |

The credited score composer gets the composer credit.
Every other credited composer for a piece of original music gets the songwriter credit.
For profiler purposes a song is defined as any short (relative to the score) piece of music with or without words. People are using "Composer" for "Theme By" all the time! | | | | Hal |

Correct! Could you please point me to where this definition is in the The Rules? And, furthermore, where it says to use "Song Writer" for a "Theme By" credit? | | | | Hal | | | | Last edited: by hal9g |

| | Posted: | | | | I've done so about 28 times in the past year - the last time in several lengthy posts in this thread - including an explanation of how the rules indeed say to use "Song Writer" for a "Theme By" credit. I'm not to keen on debating this all over again - I already know what you're going to say, and you can read my replies in any of those previous threads. I remain absolutely convinced that RHo has it absolutely right, and I feel 100% backed up by the rules on this. Only a clear statement from Ken could change my mind - and I expect the same goes for you as well. So please, can we please not start all over again? Ken just needs to settle this. Whether he does that by a simple clarification here in the forums or by changes to the rules and/or the software doesn't matter to me, but history has shown that we won't come to an agreement on this among ourselves. In the meantime, I find that most users follow RHo's simple definition - which, again, is the only right one...  | | | | Last edited: by T!M |

| | Posted: | | | | 32 people seem to agree with Rho - and I'm sure that's only the tip of the iceberg.
Let's end this discussion by saying that I recontributed the profile WITHOUT removing the 'theme' writers and I also added the 'theme' writers to the child profiles I had already submitted. |

All of which, hopefully, will have to be fixed as soon as Ken releases the next beta with a "Theme By" credit in the Music section of the Crew credits!  | | | | Hal |

| | Posted: | | | | What's strange is I don't normally care about any of the crew credits other then the basics (Writer, Director)... just like I personally wouldn't care about "theme by"... or any other music/sound credit. But I truly hope we do see "Created By". That has to be one of the very few I actually want to know. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | What Pete said.  | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.
