Line 78:

*'''Instruments''' – because most composers play a few instruments. Any prominent instances can be added to the "Other occupations" field (e.g. <nowiki>[[Organist]], [[Cello|Cellist]], [[Horn (instrument)|Horn player]]</nowiki>).

*'''Nationality, ethnicity, religious affiliation''' – too troublesome. Different sources will often give different details or emphasis.

*'''Teachers, Students, Collaborators, Employers''' – too indefinite. Could hypothetically include anything from week-long to lifetime-long relationships.

*'''Main cities of residence''' – too indefinite.

Line 86 ⟶ 85:

*'''Associated_acts''' – generally inapplicable, except to contemporary composers. Also, the word "acts" is too ambiguous.

*'''Alias''' – generally inapplicable. Even articles on [[jazz royalty]] do not normally use nicknames in their infoboxes unless the nickname is used almost exclusively in preference to the given name.

*'''URL''' – Very few classical composers who ceased working before the 1990s have a website that qualifies as [[WP:ELOFFICIAL|an official website]]. For those that do, use {{tl|Infobox person}} or {{Tl|Infobox musical artist}}.
