IMPORTANT MEMO : each and every release and title must be attached to a project.
A project gathers different releases and titles and its sales in order to benefit and so cross the sales levels (= paliers) and equivalences. In this way, a CD, a K7 and a LP vinyl of a same release will be gathered within the same project.
/!\ According to the release type (physical or digital), sales levels ( = paliers) will evolve differently /!\
NB : Even if you are not concerned by sales levels, you must create a fictive project you may call Miscellaneous for example to gather all the release without sales levels. In this case, please mind to untick the box " manage stages ".
