Shab, sheet music collection project, 7/31/2015

Today I cataloged 93 more cards of drawer 6 of the sheet music collection project.  The only new question that's come up is in reference to the cards for rows 1120-1122.  I think these cards are for the same collection of musical pieces so there's a main title in the title field and also a title for each movement(?), if that's what it's called.  I'm not sure if I cataloged these cards correctly in the title field so could you please check to see if it's correct.  I'm also uncertain about whether to put the main title (Americana) in the series field.  Normally, I don't do this unless the card says "Series" (and then lists the name of the series).  I didn't do it here because it's possible this isn't an actual series, more like a 3-part piece of music with each part cataloged on a separate card.  Jeanette, please me know your thoughts on this.  Otherwise everything was routine.  Thanks!

Shab, sheet music collection project, 7/24/2105

Today I managed to catalog 46 more cards of the sheet music collection project in drawer 6.  Jeanette, whenever you have time, could you please check the following rows/cells to see if they're correctly done (I've highlighted the fields in red).

Row 1020, the title field (245) (not sure about this, I mentioned it in my last blog post too about how titles that say they're covers in brackets should be cataloged)
Row 1034, the publisher field (I couldn't remember if we decided to omit the "distributed by" information from now on?)
Row 1046, the first note field (500) - does this belong in a note field, too?  I already put German in the language field (the card said "German and English" on it)

Everything else was routine.  Thanks for your help!
