Today I managed to catalog 70 cards of drawer 7 of the sheet music collection project. I have several issues to discuss:
1) the card for row 72 had the words "a ragtime two step" next to the title; some cursory research reveals that this is a subtitle, however, I'm not sure if it should go into the alternate title field so for now I've left it in the title field (highlighted in red); please let me know if this should be changed
2) the card for row 77 has an issue I mentioned in my last blog post, the words "at head of title..." on the card; I'm not sure what this is or where it belongs so for now (like last time), I've put it in a note field (highlighted in red); please let me know your thoughts on this
3) please check the cards for rows 83-84 because I have several issues here (all highlighted in red); I'm not sure where the genre (type of music like ballad or lullaby) should go (or if it needs cataloging at all?); I'm also not sure what to do about notes about where the music appeared or where it's filed (for now, they're also in the note fields highlighted in red but I have a feeling this isn't necessary to catalog - still, I didn't want to leave it out till I've checked with you)
4) row 88 - can't remember if "Songs, German" should be in the note or instrumentation or language field? I put it in the language field since it seems the most logical for now?
5) the card for row 116 also has an issue brought up previously - what to do with a title or music piece that seems to have different titles and/or part of the title is in brackets? also an editor listed on this card and I wasn't sure what statement of responsibility field (if any) an editor should be listed in or needs to be listed at all? I thought the name should be included somewhere so for now it's also in the note field but that's probably wrong. I don't know if anyone really searches for music with the editor's name?
Please let me know what you think when you can. Thanks!
