Adjusting the metadata for movements #233

I noticed while examining the existing pieces on the ELVIS Database that it was not possible to adjust any of the metadata for movements. For instance, if you click on piece in the Database that has movements affixed to it--such as a Cantata or a Sonata--and click on the movement, in the options menu it will say "No options exist for this object." See the images below:

It is possible to edit a movement if it is in a piece by editing the piece it is part of. You can use the movement table to edit the metadata on the piece edit screen.

The issue is that the piece-less movements originated from an earlier version of the database where such an arrangement was possible. This is no longer the case (every new movement created is contained by a piece).

It should be possible to enable individual movement metadata editing through the admin interface. Would certainly be far easier than implementing a whole new view just to edit individual movements. Perhaps that's the direction this should take, as piece-less movements are aberrations.
