I want to create public domain songs in different styles. Jazz for instance. Can I add this in the tittle? So something like Ave Maria (jazz). Most of the time, someone who likes jazz isn't interested in Ave Maria. But now he/she could.
If so, with ( ) or only hyphen, or ...
Maybe it is not recommendable, but I want the opinion of others here. And not sure if it is allowed. And not sure if I can use only letters in song tittle fields.
Weird question about song tittles

I'd advise putting it in the titles instead, because tittles (like the dot over the `i') are too small. 
Anyway, why couldn't you? Try it and see if it works.

Good to know. Thank you.
I see also no reason why, but I am not an expert on this.
I am going to give this a try, unless someone gives me a solid reason not to dot this.
Because changing tittles afterwards is complicated, and maybe nog a good thing too do, I want to know how others think about this.
Because I haven't found any answer online about this, it is very rare. And maybe for a reason. But I can't think of one.
I am planning about instrumentals only. For vocals it will be confusing.

I'm pretty sure titles may contain everything representable in UniCode characters, like including the infamous turd emoji.
I'd advice against putting meta info in a title. The MP3 format allows this all in separate fields. Exception being 4'33 by John Cage or This Is Not ALove Song by Johnny Rotten. Do you want to be in that list?
Oh, I fcking hate them naming songs "BlaBlaBla (radio edit)"

Probably better to make it clear from context.
This is one of several reasons I still prefer albums (listened to in order!) over singles, shuffle, and the way radio and streaming usually work -- there's some context. A song titled "Ave Maria" on a jazz album is probably going to be jazz.

I think you right. For an individual song it is doable. But for an whole album with all songs with "Jazz style", it doesn't look good. And registering songs has only one choice.
