It's not perfectly on-topic, but not worth for a new parsing thread. 

Just to know if it would be enough:
In database is a crew member "Marco Bittner Rosser"
He's  actually parsed on both ways M/B/R or M//BR.
Would it be enough documentation to go for M//BR if he's also credited as Marco Bittner-Rosser (with hyphon) in some movies?

You can't be serious.  While the linking system, for whatever reason, does not ignore parsing, the CLT does.  Using 'David Ogden Stiers' as an example, both 'David/Ogden/Stiers' and 'David/ /Ogden Stiers' come up when I enter the name in the CLT.  Maybe you are willing to dig through 1114 profiles, to determine the most commonly parsed version, but I'm not. 

Just out of curiosity. Am I the only one who uses Credit Lookup Plus? With that tool it was very fast and easy to figure out that:

David/Ogden stiers: Titles/Profiles (1/1)
David/Ogden Stiers: Titles/Profiles (113/183)
David/Ogden/Stiers: Titles/Profiles (433/928)
David Ogden Stiers: Titles/Profiles (1/1)
David Ogden/Stiers: Titles/Profiles (3/3)
David/Ogden/Stiers (1942): Titles/Profiles (1/1)
David/Ogden Stiers (1942): Titles/Profiles (2/2)

EDIT:

And correct line for endless Danny DeVito debates, with the same tool:

Danny/Devito: Titles/Profiles (2/2)   
Danny/DeVito: Titles/Profiles (376/1759)
Danny DeVito: Titles/Profiles (1/1)
Danny/DeVito (1944): Titles/Profiles (5/5)

No your not the only one using CLTPlus. But these results show that some of these profiles NEED correcting. But unlike some people since I don't own the titles in question it's not my position to correct them.

Yes, based on the fact that 'Smith' sounds like a family name and that 'Peter' is a male name, therefore 'Smith' is probably not his maiden name. But in fact we don't know for sure. But Peter//Smith Smythe is IMO (and I guess also in Gerri's opinion) much more probable than Peter/Smith/Smythe. At least Gerri said nothing which makes me believe that she would do otherwise.

And she has said nothing that would make me believe she would go that direction either.  You are projecting your own opinion on to her as if it makes the most sense...which it doesn't because using the mother's maiden name, as a middle name, isn't uncommon.

Using my earlier example, David Ogden Stiers, 'Ogden' is a family name...just not his family name.  It is his mother's maiden name which was given to him as a middle name.

Ogden is also a perfectly respectable first name. See Ogden Nash.
