Today I cataloged 91 more cards of drawer 6 of the sheet music collection project. Everything was routine; the only question I have is with the card with row 701, the 245 field which reads "words by a student of Harvard University" instead of actual names. I'm not sure what to do with this - for now I've put it in the 245 field. Jeanette, please let me know if this is okay or needs to be moved or should even be on the spreadsheet because I was under the impression that only specific names would go in this or other statement of responsibility fields. Thanks for all your help and feedback.

Shab, sheet music collection project, 3/13/2015
Today I cataloged 80 more cards of the sheet music collection project. Jeanette, could you please check row 628's publication date: it has "n.d." on the card but also a date in parenthesis so I wasn't sure what to put in the date fields. I've highlighted it in red. Could you also please check the card for row 641 - the name on the card is the arranger's, not the composer's, so I put his name in the arranger field; please let me know if this is incorrect and should be moved to the 100 field. Otherwise, everything was routine. Thanks!

Shab, sheet music collection project, 3/6/2015
Today I cataloged 90 more cards in the sheet music collection project. I have a couple of issues which I think I may have brought up before but I can't remember now. Row 543 has information in the publisher field about the administrator and distributor - I'm not sure if this belongs somewhere on the spreadsheet or if so, then where it does (for now it's in the publisher field highlighted in red - Jeanette, please let me know your thoughts on this or if it should be moved into a statement of responsibility field).
The other new issue I have is that a couple of the cards had the type of music it is in parenthesis next to the title (I think I've asked about this before?) Rows 537 and 538 had the type of music or dance music it is (polka, march) in parenthesis next to the title. Jeanette, I vaguely recall asking you about this once before but I can't remember what you said to do with it. I think we either decided to leave it in the title field or move it to instrumentation or note field. Could you please let me know what you think. Could you also please check the instrumentation field in row 531 where I think it involves a similar issue - it had the words "andante elegante" but separated by a period next to the title field - I looked up the words and "andante" is a type of melody. I've tentatively put that in the instrumentation field; please let me know if that's okay or not. Thanks!
