Thread Name: Typing song title & punctuation-national customs
Subject: RE: Typing song title & punctuation-national custo
Here's pertinent stuff from the writer guidelines of the (UK) music magazine Froots

1. Do not put inverted commas around song or album titles. They will be italicised.

2. All words in song titles and band names should be initially capitalised: e.g. The Flight Of The Bumblebee, not The Flight of the Bumblebee; Show Of Hands, not Show of Hands.

4. Do not double space after stops.

6. Don't fully capitalise any words in text for emphasis. They will be italicised. No need to SHOUT!

9. There are many alternatives, but we spell it "accordeon" if for no other reason than it irritates the shit out of accordion/accordian anoraks.
