Soundtrack guidelines lack a common scenario

I've noticed that soundtrack guidelines lack the common scenario of neither writer nor performer credited (or available) as the song is traditional. Usual case would be to list it like that:

"Title" (uncredited)

Traditional.

However, in #240103-095005-890000 (resubmitted today in #240630-125703-750000) that was rejected with reason given as "Badly formatted". Technically there can't be a badly formatted item in that area, since guidelines won't specify what to do in cases like that.

@Bethanny​ Greatest thanks!

Would still love to have some clarity on traditional songs. :)

I would like some clarity too, because I would be wondering if it is better to omit the "traditional" attribution. Some music, hymns, songs and poems are so old, and have spread through so many nations, that the origins cannot be pinned down to specific individual composers and amenders/embellishers, in terms of "authors". Technically it should be possible to give a performer attribution in some cases, like if known.

"Title" (uncredited) means that the whole song was uncredited. Was the song title listed or not?

Hi @MykolaYeriomin & @jeorj_euler -

I've reached out to our policy team to get further clarity on when the usage of "Traditional" should apply.  Once I have confirmation I will post those details here.

I understand from your post that you have recognized a traditional song. The soundtrack guidelines are clear to me: you must look in the ending credits and see if the song is credited there, send a screen shot with your submission on "upload evidence".

I have found several nice songs from the ending credits of Türkish series episodes. A same song is performed by several artists on YouTube. If it appears in the ending credits of the soundtrack used, you can submit it.

I hope this information helps you. I am just a contributor.
