Shab, sheet music collection project, 12/19/2014

Today I managed to finish drawer 5 and start drawer 6 of the sheet music collection project.  Jeanette, there are some fields highlighted in red in the drawer 5 spreadsheet and also some note fields highlighted in red in the drawer 6 spreadsheet.  Could you please review those to see if they are correct once you have time.  Thanks!

Shab, sheet music collection project, 12/12/2014

Today I cataloged 68 more cards of drawer 5 of the sheet music collection project.  Most of the questions I have I've asked before (caption title, etc.)  I'm now starting to see cards, usually the foreign language ones, where there's what looks like another title(??) in brackets above the regular title in its field; Jeanette, if you need to, please remind me to show you a sample card next week.  I'm not sure what to do about this because it's confusing to have both the title and this information printed in that way on the same card.  (The card for row 1150 is like that, I believe, and that entire card is full of confusing bits of information, so I've highlighted it in red).  I'm also wondering if an arranger is mentioned such as "arranged by so and so" (row 1159 for example) or if the word "arranger" is mentioned next to the name on the card, should that name be in the arranger's column/field on the spreadsheet instead of the composer's field or the 246/"words by..." field?  Jeanette, please let me know your thoughts on this.  Thanks!
