What should be used as the separater character for discs that contain multiple titles on a single disc?

The rules do not specify.

Example:

99.9% of all cat plans consist only of "Step 1."

Well that's just swell. The forum won't allow me to edit the topic to correct my spelling errors. Peachy!

Edit - There is a separate edit icon for the topic!

Do you mean as title or cast & crew?

Isn't there some kind of icon next to the thread title? (I think it's a pen or something)

For years I have used the / when doing  multiple titles one disc. Relative to cast and crew  it depends. If the disc is single sided I would use a divider. If it is  double sided then I would set up two separate profiles, one for each side and set up a parent child relationship. It seems to be the most effective

as for your question... I don't believe it is covered in the rules itself...but I always did it like this...

The War Game / Culloden

that is the way I have seen it the majority of titles I downloaded as well.

If there is no separator on the cover or spine I use /. On some double disc releases there are actually a separator character printed on the cover or spine, often &, which I use then but only then.

Ugh! I wouldn't have thought to look for a separate edit icon just for the title!!

I've seen the slash (/) used to separate titles in some profiles if there's no title for the set. The question I have is should there be a space between the slash? For example, is it:

The Hangover/The Hangover II

or

The Hangover / The Hangover II

I've seen it both ways. Any opinions?

There is no rule on it. I personally think choice 2 looks better, less cluttered and easier to read, but that's just me.

choice 2 is what I use. Unless there are more than 2 and the titles won't fit with the extra spacing. Then it's no spacing.

Choice 2 for me as well; I do it this way partly because I found that it was used in the vast majority of cases so went along with 'the consensus' and partly because I think it looks better & clearer and there's usually no reason to 'bunch up' the titles with the increased field length we now have.
