Right.

So in the end, the complexity would be the same with or without a
partnumber tag.

I have to disagree there.  In many a concerto by Vivaldi, he will have
two movements with the same title.  So, to know which part I am
listening to, it is important to know if PART="1. Andante" or if
PART="3. Andante".  So for my collection of music, having the partnumber
in the part itself works well.

Could you provide some details of why having the part number in the part
name is "stupid"?

Cheers!
