Today I cataloged 88 more cards of drawer 6 of the sheet music collection project. Could you please check rows 923-925: I'm not sure about the 245 field in row 923, if that really belongs in there. For row 924, the card said "Songs, German" which I put in the instrumentation field but I also added the language (German) to the 546 field so I hope this is correct. Row 925's card mentions that one of the publishers was gleaned from the back cover - I'm not sure if this would go in the publisher field (260) itself or would be moved to, for example, a note field. I don't think it goes in the publisher field but for now I've left it there.
Row 978's card has the words "Potpourri [cover]" next to the title field. I think this is a song title from the opera "Ermine" but I'm not entirely sure where this goes because Ermine was in the title field or where to mention the note that it's a cover song. For now, because of the word "[cover]" I've put it in a note field. The last thing I was unsure of was the title for the card for row 1007 - it reads "Lucrezia borgia, [after] Donizetti." I'm not sure about the "[after] Donizetti" part though I'm pretty certain this is not part of the title of the music. But I'm not sure where (if anywhere) on the spreadsheet those words need to be put.
Thanks for all your help!

Hi Shab,
ReplyDeleteThe title for Row 923 is fine. "Op." is an abbreviation for Opus, and that information along with the number should go in the Title field. Good question! :) Row 924 looks good. The information about the publisher being from the back cover could go in a note field, but I don't think it's really necessary. In row 978, I think Potpourri should be moved back to the title field since it looks like this is a medley of songs from the work as a whole. The title in row 1007 looks fine. It seems like whoever typed the card added the [after] because this seems like some kind adaptation from a Donizetti opera.
Thanks!
