This plugin has the goal of tagging music with the original recording date, but also provides several additional variables for use in scripting.

• recordingdate: Will be the first non-empty value of the following scripting variables (defined below) %_work:forward:performance:last%, %_event:backward:recorded_at%, %_place:backward:recorded_at%, %_area:backward:recorded_in%

• %_work:forward:performance:begin%: The "begin" date of the recording's performance Work relationship.
• %_work:forward:performance:end%: The "end" date of the recording's performance Work relationship.
• %_work:forward:performance:first%: The earliest of the begin and end dates of the recording's performance Work relationship.
• %_work:forward:performance:last%: The latest of the begin and end dates of the recording's performance Work relationship.

In place of "work:forward:performance", you can also use:

• place:backward:recorded_at: for the recording's recorded at Place relationship
• area:backward:recorded_in: for the recording's recorded in Area relationship
• event:backward:recorded_at: for the recording's recorded at Event relationship
