Clarify in the Titles guideline that songs albums that include a slash as part of the name of a single work or release should not add additional spaces around the slash.

      The Title style guideline gives examples of how slashes are used when a title includes two separate songs or two artists. That's the only style guideline examples we have that include a slash, so some editors are misinterpreting that to mean every slash in a title should be surrounded by spaces. We know from releases like White Light/White Heat that this isn't the case: a single title that includes a slash should appear as on the release.

      Please include at least one example in the guideline demonstrating this, either just below the Multiple Titles section, or as an entry under the Exceptions and Edge Cases.
