Lists a record's tracks, with who played on each, by asking which compositions name this record. Renders nothing when none do.

Usage

{{Record tracks}}           this page's record
{{Record tracks|4masks}}    another one

Why the record page keeps no list

A track is a recording of a composition, and recordings live on the composition's page — see PickiPedia:Compositions. A list kept here as well would be a second copy to keep in step, and the two would drift the first time somebody fixed a lineup in only one of them.

So a track appears here once its composition has a {{Studio version}} naming this record. If a track is missing, the fix is on that composition's page, or the composition has no page yet.

Tracks with a recorded number come first, in that order; the rest follow alphabetically. The running order is the record's own fact and belongs in the number parameter over there.
