  Indicators
1st 0 = Item is not a translation/does not include a translation.

2nd always blank
Subfields: previously, only ‡h was repeatable; for all other subfields, multiple language codes were included in one subfield; now all subfields are repeatable and a subfield is repeated for as many language codes as apply; input only one language code per subfield
a = Language(s) of sung or spoken text
e = Language code of libretto
g = Language code of accompanying material other than libretto
h = Language code of original language for translations of sung or spoken text (requires 1st indicator 1) or accompanying material (1st indicator is 0) The subfield ‡h (single or repeated) applies to all of the preceding subfields of the same type (e.g., ‡a, ‡g)

Subfields
Order of subfields in 100 field: There is no prescribed MARC order for the subfields beyond subfield ‡a in the X00 fields. RDA 9.2.2.9.5 provides guidance for the placement of words indicating relationship (e.g., Jr.) and MARC defines subfield ‡q as "fuller form of name." When providing multiple additions to the name generally follow these guidelines:
1. Subfield ‡d (date) should always be the last element in a 100 string unless ‡c (Spirit) is being added.
   ° Add ‡c (Spirit) as the last element in a 100 string.
2. Generally add subfield ‡c before subfield ‡q when also adding words (e.g., Jr.), numerals (e.g., III), etc. indicating relationship
   ° but add subfield ‡c after subfield ‡q when adding other words (e.g., Sister)
   ° (See 9.2.2.9.5 for treatment of Portuguese names)
3. For exceptional situations, such as when subfield ‡a contains only a surname or only a forename or the name includes a prefix, etc. consult LC-PCC PS 1.7.1, section Access points for persons in name authority and bibliographic records, paragraph 3c.
