Commonly used music terms in the Library of Congress Genre/Form Terms (LCGFT)

Music Cataloging at Yale [1] ♪ MARC tagging [78]

Note: this page was created with music cataloging in mind.

This is a list of commonly used names of genre and form terms selected from the Library of Congress Genre/Form Terms (LCGFT).

This list is not complete. It includes most, but not all, terms for western art music and some popular genres.
It does not show the hierarchy.
For the complete list and the hierarchical structure, please see Music Genre/Form Terms in LCGFT [79] (scroll down to the top music term "music"). To search individual terms, please see Classification Web [80] (subscription required) or the Library of Congress Genre/Form Terms [81] website.

About vocal works with sacred texts: while LCGFT includes terms for forms of sacred music, e.g., Masses, Requiems, Vespers (Music), Psalms (Music) (but not specific psalms), Litanies (Music), etc., terms for settings of specific texts are not included in LCGFT, e.g., Magnificat, Kyrie, Agnus Dei, etc. (For a setting of a specific text, an added entry (730) may be made.) (source: Library of Congress, NMP-L, Mon 11/22/2021)

These terms are used in conjunction with Recording form of work [82] (RDA 6.3), MLA's Best practices for using LCGFT for music resources [83] (version 1.2 (July 8, 2019)), and MARC 380 [22] (Form of work) and/or MARC 655 [84] (Index term–genre/form).

Date and place of capture (MARC 033)

Music Cataloging at Yale [1] ♪ MARC tagging [78]

The 033 contains information regarding the date and/or place of the recording session, when this information is stated on the item. The data encoded in the 033 corresponds to the information found in the 518 field, and may also appear in the 511 or 245.

Use a single 033 field when:

  • There is a single work;
  • There are multiple works, but the date and/or place of recording applies to the recording as a whole;
  • There is an approximate date or range of dates;
  • A single place of recording is implied, but not stated explicitly.

Use multiple 033 fields when:

  • There is more than one work and different dates and/or places are specified for each work;
  • When the relationship of dates and places cannot be included in a single 033 field.

SOURCE: Jay Weitz, Music Coding and Tagging, p. 84- 85

1st indicator: date

[blank] = no date information
0 = single date
1 = multiple single dates
2 = range of dates

2nd indicator: type of event

[blank] = no information provided
0 = capture information
1 = broadcast information
2 = finding information

For musical sound recordings, the second indicator is 0 in most cases.

‡a = Date of capture, when known. There are eight numbers:
year (4 digits), month (2 digits), and day (2 digits). Hyphens are supplied for any part of the date that is not known:

Coding in 033 Field Note in 518 Field
033 00 1988---- 518     Recorded in 1988.
033 00 198805-- 518     Recorded in May 1988.
033 00 19880503 518     Recorded May 3, 1988.
033 10 19850503 ‡a 19880620 518     Recorded May 3, 1988 and June 20, 1988.
033 20 19850503 ‡a 19880620 518     Recorded between May 3, 1988 and June 20, 1988.

‡b = Geographic classification area code. These are four-number codes assigned to place of recording. The code can be as specific as a state or province, or as general as a country. Codes are taken from LC Class G. Each code in the table looks like this: 5830/4. This is the code for France. When the information concerning place is no more specific than the country, use the first code: 5830. When a city within the country is specified, use the second code: 5834, and assign a code for the city in ‡c.

‡c = Geographic classification subarea code. This is the two- digit code assigned to cities within the larger geographic areas tagged in ‡b. Most of these codes are also assigned by LC, as found in Class G or in online LC bibliographic records. If a code does not appear in either place, formulate one by using the LC shelflisting table.

For a chart of codes for countries (‡b), both with and without city (‡c), see Geographical area and sub-area codes for the 033 field [13].

Examples:

Everything you always wanted to know about filing indicators but were afraid to ask

Music Cataloging at Yale [1] ♪ MARC tagging [78]

By Martha Conway, former Catalog Management Librarian, Yale University Library
With additions by Mickey Koth

Yale's policy concerning MARC 21:

  • On Voyager, neither use of the current MARC 21 convention nor the obsolete method will affect retrieval.
  • For all new records created in Voyager or RLIN, begin using the new method of counting non-filing indicators. Apply the new method whether or not the record is coded as pcc.
  • It is not necessary to update the filing indicator in source copy records using the pre-MARC 21 counting method.
  • For more information, see Yale University Library Cataloging Documentation on Non-filing Indicators [89]

What is a filing indicator | MARC fields and filing indicators | Characters to be ignored | Summary | PCC policy

______________________________________________________

What is a filing indicator?

A filing indicator is used to indicate the number of characters that are to be ignored when a title is indexed. (For a list of initial articles in foreign languages, see List of initial articles [90].)

______________________________________________________

MARC fields and filing indicators:

Some title fields have filing indicators and some do not.

If a field has a filing indicator, the title should be entered as it is found on the piece (including initial articles, if any) and the filing indicator should be set so that those initial articles are skipped when the title is searched.

If a field does not have a filing indicator, initial articles (such as A, An, or The) must be omitted when the title is recorded.

Which MARC fields do not have filing indicators?

The following fields do not have filing indicators. Omit initial articles when recording the title.

246 Varying form of title
‡t (any field) Title of a work
‡p (any field) Name of a part/section of a work

Which MARC fields do have filing indicators?

The following fields have filing indicators. Record the title as it is found on the piece, including any initial article [90]. Set the filing indicator by entering the number of characters in the article, plus spaces, punctuation, and diacritics that precede the first filing character. If the title does not begin with an article, enter 0.

242 Translation of Title (the 2nd indicator is a filing indicator)
245 Title statement (the 2nd indicator is a filing indicator)
440 Series Statement (the 2nd indicator is a filing indicator)

Aren't there other MARC fields that have filing indicators?

The following fields also have filing indicators. However, AACR2 1988 rev. prescribes that you do not enter initial articles in uniform titles. Because cataloging practices have varied, some records have titles with articles and filing indicator values. Current practice is to enter the title without the initial article and use 0 for the filing indicator.

130 Main Entry--Uniform Title (the 1st indicator is a filing indicator)
240 Uniform Title (the 2nd indicator is a filing indicator)
243 Collective Uniform Title (the 2nd indicator is a filing indicator)
630 Subject Added Entry--Uniform Title (the 1st indicator is a filing indicator)

Characters that are to be ignored

The following information is taken from Change in Practice for Counting Non-Filing Characters in MARC 21 [91] and Counting non-filing characters [38] chart and from e-mail correspondence with Ana Lupe Cristan in consultation with Kay Guiles

What to count when determining the filing indictor What not to count when determining the filing indicator
  • initial article [90]
  • blank space
  • alif
  • any mark of punctuation preceding the first filing character, including a bracket, apostrophe, quotation mark, and hyphens when an initial article that is to be ignored in filing is involved
  • a diacritic associated with the first filing character
  • characters representing the word "and": ampersand, plus sign
  • any mark of punctuation preceding the first filing character, including a bracket, apostrophe, quotation mark, and hyphens that is not associated with an initial article
Characters that can be considered a first filing character:
  • alphabetic characters:
    • Latin letters
    • AE and OE digraphs, crossed d, Polish L, hooked o and u, slashed o, etc.
  • numbers:
    • Arabic numbers
    • super and subscript numbers
  • other characters:
    • hatch mark (#)
    • ampersand
    • plus sign
Examples, with characters to be ignored in bold
245 12 L'été ... initial article and apostrophe to be ignored; "é" is first filing character
245 14 The_part ... initial article and space to be ignored; "p" is first filing character
245 15 [The_part] ... bracket, initial article, and space to be ignored; "p" is first filing character
245 15 The_"part" ... initial article, space, and quotation mark to be ignored; "p" is first filing character
245 10 "Part" ... no initial article, so quotation mark is not counted as a character to be ignored; "p" is first filing character

______________________________________________________

In summary:

1. Record initial articles in fields 242, 245, and 440 only. Set the filing indicator accordingly.
2. Do not record initial articles in field 246.
3. Do not record initial articles in ‡t or ‡p in any field.
4. Do not record initial articles in fields 130, 240, 243, 630, 730, 740, or 830 unless you are transcribing pre-AACR2 retrospective copy, in which case you may record initial articles and set the filing indicator accordingly.
5. Ignore punctuation at the beginning of a title unless it occurs as part of an initial article.

PCC policy:

Posted to the PCCLIST on April 22, 2003 from Ana Cristán, BIBCO Coordinator, and Kay Guiles, CPSO:

The BIBCO Coordinator and CPSO have worked with representatives of OCLC and RLG to formulate the following response to the request for clarification from Steven Arakawa, Yale, regarding counting non-filing characters.

When MARC 21 was issued in 1999 the method of counting non-filing characters was clarified. That clarification resulted in a change in practice that the Library of Congress implemented on February 20, 2003 (www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/nonfil.pdf [39]). Since the method of counting non-filing characters is a MARC 21 convention, presumably the aim of all PCC participants would be, sooner or later, to follow that convention if they haven’t been since 1999. When to make the adjustment needed to follow the convention as currently stated in MARC 21 may be influenced by considerations related to local systems or to the bibliographic utilities. LC kept both OCLC and RLIN apprised of its schedule and of the details of its implementation and both have indicated that they are currently able to handle the old and new conventions.

In cataloging a PCC record today, follow the current MARC 21 convention for counting non-filing characters if that convention is supported by the local system or bibliographic utility one is working in. If that is not possible, follow the convention that is supported at the time of input. The ultimate goal will be eventually for all to follow the MARC 21 convention.

Form of work (MARC 380)

See also 381 [23]: Other distinguishing characteristics of a work or expression | 382 [24]: Medium of performance | 383 [25]: Numeric designation of musical work | 384 [26]: Key

The 380 field is used in authority records for LCGFT indicating the class, form, genre, and/or other characteristics of the work being described.
For the use of LCGFT in bibliographic records in the 655 field, see Genre/form index term (MARC 655) [30]

Use in conjunction with Recording form of work [82] (RDA 6.3), MLA's Best practices for using LCGFT for music resources [92], and Commonly used music terms in the Library of Congress Genre/Form Terms (LCGFT) [27]

Indicators and subfields for 655 field

General instructions:

  • Prefer a controlled vocabulary, such as LCGFT (Library of Congress Genre/Form Terms), LCSH (Library of Congress Subject Headings), etc.
  • Capitalize the first term in each subfield ‡a.
  • When terms are not from a controlled vocabulary, use the singular form.
  • Do not record in a 380 field types of composition terms that are:
    • medium of performance terms (e.g., Duet)
    • tempo markings (e.g., Allegro)
    • other generic terms that do not convey formal characteristics (e.g., Piece, Music)

Generally use the most specific appropriate term available. For example:

  • "Chamber music" is a narrower term under "Art music," so both terms would not be for a chamber work.
  • "Sonatas" is a narrower term under "Art music," so both terms would not be used for a sonata for a solo instrument.
  • "Waltzes (Music)" is a narrower term under "Dance music," so only "Waltzes (Music)" would be used when the work is a waltz and no other dance form is present.

However, use as many terms as are needed to adequately describe the work:

  • "Sonatas" and "Chamber music" for a sonata for a chamber group.
  • "Waltzes (Music)" and "Chamber music" for a waltz for a chamber group.
  • "Songs," "Cantatas," and "Sacred music" for a sacred cantata for solo voice.

Format of notated music and form musical notation (MARC 348)

Music Cataloging at Yale [95] ♪ MARC tagging [78]

Note: this page was created with music cataloging at Yale in mind.

The 348 field is used to indicate the musical or physical layout of the content of a resource that is presented in the format of notated music, as well as the form of musical notation itself. It is used in addition to the 300 field and any applicable 655 fields and may contain data that duplicates that in the 300 and/or 655 fields.

Format of notated music
The physical layout of the content of a resource that is presented in the form of musical notation, such as score, part, vocal score, etc.

Both indicators are blank.
‡a = Format of notated music term
‡2 = Source of term and code: rdafnm (nm=notated music) from RDA Format of Notated Music.

The terms are used in the singular, for example "part," even when the resource has more than one part.

Examples:
348 __ ‡a chorus score ‡2 rdafnm
348 __ ‡a condensed score ‡2 rdafnm
348 __ ‡a part ‡2 rdafnm
348 __ ‡a piano conductor part ‡2 rdafnm
348 __ ‡a piano score ‡2 rdafnm
348 __ ‡a score ‡2 rdafnm
348 __ ‡a study score ‡2 rdafnm
348 __ ‡a vocal score ‡2 rdafnm

Note that the source code for format of notated music (rdafnm) is similar to the source code for Form of musical notation (rdafmn)

Format of notated music terms and definitions
The is a list of commonly used terms. For a complete list of terms, codes, and definitions, see RDA Format of Notated Music [96]
Term Definition
chorus score a score of a work for solo voices and chorus showing only the parts for chorus, at least in those portions of the work in which the chorus sings, with the instrumental accompaniment either arranged for keyboard or other chordal instrument or omitted.
condensed score a score in which the number of staves is reduced to two or a few, generally organized by instrumental sections or vocal parts, and often with cues for individual parts.
part the music for the use of one or more, but not all, performers;
for music for a solo performer, see score [97].
piano conductor part music consisting of a performance part for a piano performer in an ensemble, with cues for the other instruments that enable the performer of that part also to conduct.
piano score a score consisting of the reduction of an instrumental work or a vocal work with instruments to a version for piano.
score notated music consisting of graphical, symbolic, or word-based musical notation representing the sounds of all the parts of an ensemble or a work for solo performer or electronic media.
study score a score issued in a musical image of reduced size, not primarily intended for use in performance.
vocal score a score showing all vocal parts, with the instrumental accompaniment either omitted or arranged for a keyboard or other chordal instrument or instruments.

sources: 348 Format of Notated Music [98] (OCLC) and RDA Format of Notated Music [96]

Form of musical notation
The characters or symbols used to express musical content, such as staff notation, tablature, etc.

MLA's Interim Best Practices update for form of musical notation in field 348 and 546 [99] of May 2022 outlines interim practice for adding form of musical notation in the 348 field, as per MARC updates of June 2021. It is recommended to use field 348 ‡c; however field 546 ‡b may still be used if required by local policy.

‡c = Form of musical notation term
‡2 = Source of term and code: rdafmn (mn=musical notation) from RDA Form of Musical Notation.

Note that the source code for Form of musical notation (rdafmn) is similar to the source code for format of notated music (rdafnm)

Note: OCLC prefers that multiple controlled 348 terms be entered in separate fields.

Examples:
348 __ ‡c graphic notation ‡2 rdafmn
348 __ ‡c staff notation ‡2 rdafmn
348 __ ‡c tablature ‡2 rdafmn

When a term is not found, code the information in ‡b or ‡c without ‡2:
348 __ ‡c verbal instructions
348 __ ‡c guitar chord diagrams

This information may also be included in a 546 field [100], as information in the 348 field does not currently display in the catalog. Yale Music Library policy is to include a 546 when the form of notation includes staff notation and one or more other forms. When the form is only staff notation, the 348 field will suffice.

Form of musical notation terms and definitions
This is a list of commonly used terms. For a complete list of terms, codes, and definitions, see RDA Form of Musical Notation [101]
Term Definition
graphic notation musical notation that uses various suggestive lines, symbols, color, etc., to prompt or guide the performers.
letter notation musical notation that uses the letters of the alphabet to designate pitches.
mensural notation musical notation, beginning around 1260 and continuing through about 1600, employing four principal note-values and associated rests: long, breve, semibreve, and minim to notate duration.
number notation musical notation conveying pitch by use of numbers, assigned to the notes of a scale, the keys of a keyboard, the finger positions or frets of a string instrument, or to the holes or valves of a wind instrument.
staff notation musical notation in wide use for Western art music, conveying pitch and duration using a staff of parallel lines, often in combination with other staves.
tablature musical notation that uses letters of the alphabet or other symbols not found in staff notation, and which generally specifies the physical action required to produce the music from a specific instrument, rather than an abstract representation of the music itself.

Genre/form index term (MARC 655)

Music Cataloging at Yale ♪ MARC tagging [78]

Note: this page was created with music cataloging at Yale in mind.

The 655 field is used in bibliographic records for LCGFT indicating the class, form, genre, and/or physical characteristics of the materials being described.
For the use of LCGFT in authority records in the 380 field, see Form of work (MARC 380) [102]

Use in conjunction with MLA's Best practices for using LCGFT for music resources [92] (version 1.2, July 8, 2019), Commonly used music terms in the Library of Congress Genre/Form Terms (LCGFT) [27], and Instructions for PCC catalogers in Descriptive Cataloging Manual [94] (DCM) Z1.

See also Mapping of Library of Congress subject headings (LCSH) and form subdivisions to their corresponding LCGFT and LCDGT terms [29]

Indicators and subfields for 655 field

General instructions:

LCGFT does not use medium of performance, as LCSH does. Medium of performance is brought out in the 382 field [103] using LCMPT [104]:

  • LCSH:
    • 650 _0 Sonatas (Piano)
  • LCGFT and LCMPT:
    • 382 01 piano ‡n 1 ‡s 1 ‡2 lcmpt
    • 655 _7 Sonatas. ‡2 lcgft

Generally use the most specific appropriate term available. For example:

  • "Chamber music" is a narrower term under "Art music," so both terms would not be used in a bibliographic record for a chamber work.
  • "Sonatas" is a narrower term under "Art music," so both terms would not be used in a bibliographic record for a sonata for a solo instrument.
  • "Waltzes (Music)" is a narrower term under "Dance music," so only "Waltzes (Music)" would be used when the work is a waltz and no other dance form is present.

However, use as many terms as are needed to adequately describe the resource:

  • "Sonatas" and "Chamber music" for a sonata for a chamber group.
  • "Waltzes (Music)" and "Chamber music" for a waltz for a chamber group.
  • "Songs," "Cantatas," and "Sacred music" for a sacred cantata for solo voice.

Some terms in LCFT and LCSH are the same:

  • Aleatory music
  • Ayres
  • Circus music
  • Interludes (Music)
  • Overtures
  • Part songs
  • Polkabilly music
  • Scherzos
  • Sonatas

Other terms are slightly different:

  • Monologues (Music) (LCGFT)
  • Monologues with music (LCSH)
  • Variations (Music) (LCGFT)
  • Variations (LCSH)
  • Villanelle (Part songs) (LCGFT)
  • Villanelle (Songs) (LCSH)

Some terms are very different:

  • Canons (Music) (LCGFT) and
  • Fugues (LCGFT)
  • Canons, fugues, etc. (LCSH)
  • Medleys (Music) (LCGFT)
  • Potpourris (LCSH)
  • Studies (Music) (LCGFT)
  • [subject heading for instrument] ‡v Studies and exercises (LCSH)

Some terms are confusingly similar:

  • Music theater (LCSH)
    • for musical works, often small in scale and primarily of the 20th century, that combine elements of music, drama, and sometimes dance in unconventional ways that result in works distinct from traditional forms
  • Musical theater (LCGFT)
    • for musical compositions that are often small-scale, date primarily from the 20th century, and combine elements of music, drama, and sometimes dance, in unconventional ways
    • "Musical theater" is also an LC subject heading for works about music in the theater

Some terms in LCGFT are not in LCSH:

  • Bagatelles (Music)
  • Concert etudes
  • Fantasias (Music)
  • Preludes (Music)

Some terms in LCSH are not in LCGFT:

  • Secular oratorios (LCGFT has only "Oratorios")
  • Trios, Quartets, Quintets, etc.

Language code for sung or spoken text and accompanying material (041 field)

Music Cataloging at Yale [1] ♪ MARC tagging [78]

Note: this page was created with music cataloging in mind.

When to use the 041 field | Codes | Indicators | Subfields | Translations | Examples

_________________________________________

When to use the 041 field:

The 041 field is required when:
   • there are two or more languages involved in a score or sound recording.
When required, the 041 field is not optional.

The 041 field is not used when:
   • When it is an instrumental work with no accompanying material.
   • When it is a vocal work that has not been translated and has no accompanying material.
   • When it is a vocal work that has not been translated and has accompanying material, which is in the same language as the sung or spoken text and which has not been translated.
      ° The language code in the fixed field [115] is sufficient.

_________________________________________

Codes

These are languages codes frequently found in music materials.
See US MARC language list [116] for a complete list of language codes.

cat = Catalan fin = Finnish lat = Latin scc = Serbian
chi = Chinese fre = French jpn = Japanese slo = Slovak
chu = Church Slavic ger = German mul = multiple languages spa = Spanish
scr = Croatian gre = Greek (modern) nor = Norwegian swe = Swedish
cze = Czech heb = Hebrew pol = Polish tlh = Klingon
dan = Danish hun = Hungarian por = Portuguese und = undetermined (use for nonsense syllables)
dut = Dutch ita = Italian rus = Russian      

_________________________________________

Indicators

1st indicator 0 = there is no translation of the text involved
1 = the text of the work is or includes a translation
2nd indicator _ = always blank

The 1st indicator applies only to the written or sung text of a work, which implies a vocal work that is sung or spoken (with a narrator).

For a vocal work, the 1st indicator is:
1 • When the written or sung text has been translated, even when the original language is also included in the work.
0 • When the written or sung text is in the original language.
      ° This includes works that always included more than one language.
      ° This does not apply when a composer sets an already-translated text to music.
   • When it is a vocal work that has not been translated and there is accompanying material, translated or not.
      OCLC documentation [117] states "Accompanying material is not considered when determining if an item is a translation,"
      but adds "When printed music contains a translation of a vocal text printed as text, the item is considered a translation
      and use value 1."
[emphasis added]
      LC documentation [118] merely says "0 - Item not a translation/does not include a translation; 1 - Item is or includes a translation,"
      with no instruction for application.
   • When it is an instrumental work with accompanying material that has been, translated or not.

_________________________________________

Subfields

Each language code is tagged in a separate subfield code. The former practice was to include all language codes with the same subfield tag in the same subfield. The current practice is to tag each separately.

Obsolete practice Current practice
‡a engfreger ‡h ita ‡a eng ‡a fre ‡a ger ‡h ita
‡a engfre ‡h gerrus ‡a eng ‡a fre ‡h ger ‡h rus

Guidelines for the number of language codes to be used in any single subfield in the 041 field: Source: CSB no. 52, p. 29-33

• Six or fewer languages: The first code is for the predominant language (which should match the code in the fixed field (008) [115], if applicable). The codes for the remaining languages should be input in English alphabetical order.
• Seven or more languages: Use the code for the predominant language and "mul" (multiple languages) for all other languages.

For texts of vocal works:
The two subfields that involve the 1st indicator are:
‡a = language of the written or spoken text in a score
‡d = language of the sung or spoken text on a sound recording

For accompanying material:
Accompanying material may be words printed as text, prefatory information, poems that inspired an instrumental work, instructional material, critical report, etc. Because none of these are the sung, spoken, or written words of a vocal work, they do not affect whether the 1st indicator will be 1 or 0.
‡e = language of the words or libretto printed as text
‡g = language of accompanying material other than libretto or words

Summaries and abstracts:
‡b = language(s) of a summary or abstract

Order of subfields:
‡d should be first when present; in all other cases, ‡a should be first when present.
Multiple occurrences of the same subfields ‡a, ‡b, ‡d, ‡e, ‡f, ‡g, ‡j should be grouped together.
Single occurrences and grouped multiple occurrences of subfields ‡h, ‡m, ‡n should follow the subfield or group of subfields to which they apply.

Order of language codes within subfields:
‡a: codes should be in the order of their predominance in the resource; if no language is predominant, the codes should be in alphabetical order.
‡b (summary/abstract) and ‡f (table of contents): codes should be alphabetical.

_________________________________________

Translations

When a translation is involved in any of these categories (written, sung, or spoken text or accompanying material), the code for the original language for each category follows the coding of the final language in that category.
Changed definition:
‡h = language code(s) for the original language of the primary content of the item; this subfield follows subfield ‡a ‡d, ‡j, ‡k
New subfields:
‡k = language code(s) for an intermediate language between the original and the current translation, where the resource was translated from an intermediate language other than the original. If subfield ‡k is present, it would precede a subfield ‡h.
‡m = language code(s) for the original language of accompanying materials other than librettos; this subfield follows subfield ‡b or ‡g
‡n = language code(s) for the original language(s) of the printed text of the vocal/textual content of the work; this subfield follows subfield ‡e
After subfields: Use:  
‡a ‡d, ‡j, ‡k    ‡h
‡b, ‡g ‡m
‡e ‡n

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 [123] 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.

MARC code Term Definition
a full score staff notation representing the sounds of all the parts of an instrumental and/or vocal ensemble arranged one underneath the other, usually on different staves, so that they can be read simultaneously
     ° in RDA: use code l (score) for works represented with graphic, symbolic (e.g., staff), or word-based notation representing the sounds of all the parts of an ensemble, arranged so that they can be read simultaneously, or a work for solo performer or electronic media
     ° Note: Continue to use subfield a in AACR2 records. Use code l [small letter L] in RDA records.
b full score, miniature or study size the same types of scores described for code a, but with the size of notes and staves reduced and not usually intended to be used in performance
c accompaniment reduced for keyboard accompaniment is reduced for keyboard instrument(s) and the vocal parts and/or solo instrumental parts remain the same
     ° use code h for chorus scores and k for vocal scores
Note: MARC Proposal no. 2012-07 [136] stated that MLA would be producing documentation discouraging the use of codes c, d, and e for RDA records. This proposal was passed, but there is no MLA documentation on the MLA BCC MARC Formats Subcommittee website [137] concerning this.
MARC 008/20 [138] prefers code h (chorus score) or code k (vocal score)
d voice score a score for solo and/or choral voice(s) with the accompaniment omitted
     ° vocal works originally unaccompanied are assigned other codes as appropriate
     ° use code h for chorus scores and k for vocal scores
Note: MARC Proposal no. 2012-07 [136] stated that MLA would be producing documentation discouraging the use of codes c, d, and e for RDA records. This proposal was passed, but there is no MLA documentation on the MLA BCC MARC Formats Subcommittee website [137] concerning this.

k vocal score a score showing all vocal parts, solo and/or choral, with the instrumental accompaniment either arranged for keyboard(s) or other chordal instrument(s) or omitted.
     ° Note: see code h (chorus score) for scores of works for solo voices and chorus that include only chorus parts.
     ° Note: see code p (piano score [139]) for reductions of vocal works that do not include the vocal line(s).
l score graphical, symbolic (e.g., staff), or word-based musical notation representing the sounds of all the parts of an ensemble, or a work for solo performer or electronic media.
     ° do not confuse with Part.
     ° code a part or parts as z (other than score format)
m multiple score formats several types of scores are issued together, as is frequently the case with band music
n not applicable item is a sound recording
o online a score that is accessed by means of hardware and software connections to a communications network
     ° code s (electronic) can be used as a generic code for any form of electronic resource if a distinction between types of electronic resources is not necessary

Manufacturer number for sound recordings (MARC 028)

Music Cataloging at Yale [1] ♪ MARC tagging [78]

This document has not been modified to conform to RDA. However, the MARC tagging is still correct.
See also Publisher or distributor number (028 field) for scores [10]

Issue numbers or matrix numbers of sound recordings are tagged in the 028 field. Recent discussions have questioned whether two items, identical other than manufacturer number, constitute different editions. LC considers a variant manufacturer number to be an indication of a new edition. "... for sound recordings, consider that different editions exist whenever two items have different [issue or matrix] numbers."

1st indicator

 0  Issue number(s), which appears on the label1, container2, and/or insert
 1 Matrix number, which is etched onto an LP, usually between the innermost grooves and label, but may also appear on the label. Matrix numbers are distinguished from issue numbers in that matrix numbers usually differ on each side of the disc. The matrix number is used only when no issue number appears.

1Label: The label, for the purposes of CDs, which have no "label," is the information appearing on the disc itself.
2Container: With CDs, consider any information on the insert that can be seen through the jewel case to be on the container.

2nd indicator

0 no note, no added entry
1 note, added entry
2 note, no added entry
3 no note, added entry

‡b contains the name of the record company as found in ‡b of the 260/264 field.

Examples

The disc with one number on the disc and a variant form of the number on the container:
028 01 CD 125 ‡b Record Company
028 00 2 CD 125 ‡b Record Company

The disc with one number on the label and a completely different number on the container or insert:
028 01 CD 125 ‡b Record Company
028 00 1234 5678 ‡b Record Company
500 Record Company: 1234 5678 (on container).
Each distinct number goes in a separate note. This does not apply to a multi-disc set.

A multi-disc set with individual numbers also has on the container a variant form, which is a truncation of the numbers on the discs:
On discs: CD 125, CD 126; on container: CD 125/6.
028 01 CD 125--CD 126 ‡b Record Company
Do not enter the truncated form of the numbers in an 028 field or note.

A multi-disc set with both a set number and individual numbers on each disc:
028 00 1234 5678 ‡b Record Company
028 00 CD 125--CD 126 ‡b Record Company
500 Recording Company: 1234 5678 (CD 125--CD 126).

In authority records:
the instrumental, vocal, and/or other medium of performance for which a musical work was originally conceived or for which a musical expression is written or performed.
     ° May be used to differentiate a musical work or expression from another with the same title.
          Currently, 382 fields are not added to authority records for authorized access points representing arrangements.

In bibliographic records:
"LCMPT and the 382 are not tethered to a descriptive cataloging standard. In other words, it's acceptable (and indeed encouraged) to add a LCMPT-based 382 whenever you would add a 'subject' heading in the current environment." Casey Mullin, MOUG-L, 6/2/2014

For manifestations: the instrumental, vocal, and/or other medium of performance embodied in the manifestation.
For works and expressions: the instrumental, vocal, and/or other medium of performance for which a musical work was originally conceived or for which a musical expression is written or performed.
     ° May be used to differentiate a musical work or expression from another with the same title.

General guidelines for the 382 currently being followed, which may or may not be adopted/approved by LC:

° Record the complete medium of performance for a single work in a single 382 field.

° Provide a 382 field for each medium of performance when there is more than one work in the manifestation.

° Do not include a 382 field for expressions [113] (e.g., arrangements, etc.)
     ° Optionally, supply medium of performance in expression authority records.

° Record the names of instruments, voices, and ensembles following these guidelines:

  • Record the name of an instrument, voice, or ensemble in the singular (even if there is more than one required for performance)
  • Record the name of a solo instrument or voice in ‡b in the singular (even if there is more than one required for performance)
  • Record the name of a doubling instrument in ‡d in the singular (even if there is more than one required for performance), following the name of the instrument to which it applies
  • Record the name of an alternate instrument or voice in ‡p in the singular (even if there is more than one required for performance), following the name of the instrument or voice to which it applies
  • Include the terms alto, tenor, bass, etc.
         ° although these terms are omitted from the medium of performance in access points as per 6.15.1.6.2 [150]
  • There is no prescribed order of voices/instruments
         ° Use cataloger's judgment
         ° Choose order listed or score order when feasible

° Record the number of instruments, voices, and ensembles following these guidelines:

  • Record the number of instruments or voices of the same type needed for performance in ‡n following the name of the instrument or voice to which it applies
  • Record the number of ensembles of the same type needed for performance in ‡e following the name of the ensemble to which it applies
  • Record the total number of solo instruments or voices needed for performance in ‡r
  • Record the total number of ensembles needed for performance in ‡t
  • Record the total number of performers needed for performance in ‡s at the end of the field
     
  • For a manifestation containing several works (e.g., an anthology or an audio recording), generally provide a 382 field for each different combination of mediums
         ° If this is not feasible, omit the 382 or provide a partial 382 (first indicator 1).
     
  • If considered important for identification and access, provide an additional 382 that does not apply these guidelines.

382 fields for operas (from a discussion on MOUG-L, 6/18/2015:
"[LC doesn't] have a written policy, but for the most part the LC Music Division cataloging specialists skip the 382 for operas." (Valerie Weinberg)
However, it was acknowledged that using a partial medium of performance that includes the voice parts of the major roles or soloists, the orchestra, the chorus, and the conductor, without accounting for every singer, could be useful for users searching for parts or roles for a particular voice or range.
It was noted that one cannot always consider a recorded manifestation to be authoritative enough to make a work-based judgment unless the notes were authoritative or there was a score or thematic index to back it up.

Indicators
1st _ = no information provided
0 = medium of performance
1 = partial medium of performance
2nd always blank in authority records
0 = not intended for access (bibliographic records only)
1 = intended for access (bibliographic records only)
Subfields
Multiple mediums from the same source vocabulary may also be recorded in separate occurrences of the field if each medium is controlled by an authority record control number or standard number in subfield ‡0
‡a Medium of performance: a term that indicates the instrumental, vocal, and/or other medium of performance.
     ° multiple mediums from the same source vocabulary may be recorded in the same field in separate occurrences of subfield ‡a.
     ° terms from different source vocabularies are recorded in separate occurrences of the field.

Use the term "percussion" unless cataloger judgment dictates the need for greater detail.

‡b Soloist: term for a soloist (a featured instrument or voice accompanied by an ensemble; do not code a solo instrument or voice in ‡b when the accompaniment is for a solo instrument, even when the accompaniment was originally for an ensemble)
Examples: instrumental | vocal
‡d Doubling instrument: term for the instrument(s)/voice(s) a performer plays in addition to the primary instrument/voice in a musical work/expression
     ° may be recorded in separate occurrences of subfield ‡d
     ° may also be recorded in separate occurrences of the field if each medium is controlled by an authority record control number or standard number in subfield ‡0.
Examples: instrumental
‡e Number of ensembles of the same type named in the preceding subfield
          ° Use after ‡a (Medium of performance) or ‡p (Alternative medium of performance)
‡n Number of performers of the same medium named in the preceding subfield.
     ° may be omitted if the number equals 1
     ° give the name of the instrument or voice in the singular
     ° do not enclose the number in parentheses:
            violin ‡n 2 ‡a viola ‡n 1 ‡a cello ‡n 1

Do not use ‡n if the medium includes an uncertain, unknown, or variable number of performers.
See current practice for more than one performer on one instrument (tagged in ‡v).
Do not include the number of ensembles in ‡n for an ensemble.
Examples: instrumental | vocal

‡p Alternative medium of performance: term for an alternative instrument, vocal, and/or other medium of performance, given as an alternative to its primary medium of performance in preceding subfield ‡a, ‡b, or ‡d.

Record alternative instruments in one of two ways:
1. Use a single 382 field:
     ° record alternative instruments in ‡p following the appropriate ‡a, ‡b, or ‡d
     ° include a number in ‡n when applicable following each ‡p.
2. Use two 382 fields:
     ° 1st 382 field: record initial initial medium of performance.
     ° 2nd 382 field: record alternate mediums, recording alternative instruments in ‡p.
Examples: instrumental | vocal

‡r Total number of individuals performing alongside ensembles.
     ° The total number of solo individual performers as indicated in all instances of subfield ‡b needed to perform in the musical work/expression alongside one or more ensembles
     ° However, use subfield ‡s, not ‡r, for individual performers when no accompanying ensembles are involved.
Code ‡r before ‡t and ‡s.
Examples: instrumental | vocal
‡s Total number of performers needed to perform the musical work.
‡s follows the last ‡a, ‡b, ‡d, ‡n, or ‡p
     ° Do not use ‡s when:
          ° the medium statement is partial (1st indicator 1)
          ° one or more ensemble terms are present in the medium statement
          ° when the medium is known, but the exact number of performers is unknown or variable
Examples: instrumental | vocal
‡t Total number of ensembles needed to perform the musical work.
When known, record the number of ensembles in ‡t following the last ‡e or ‡r, but before ‡s
Examples: instrumental | vocal
‡v Free-text note for information that is not otherwise in the subfields of the field when further detail is desired.
     ° may contain a description of the relationship between an alternative medium of performance and its primary medium of performance, or other textual information
Place ‡v immediately following the subfield to which it applies:
     1. following ‡a, ‡b, ‡d, or ‡p when describing the nature of a specific medium component
     2. following ‡n or ‡e when describing the numbering of a specific medium component
     3. following all other subfields but preceding ‡2 when describing the performing forces as a whole
     ° use method 3 when in doubt

From Hermine Vermeij on PCCLIST, 1/21/2014: Situations in which ‡v would be useful, when the medium isn't clear from the title, the preferred title, or the 382 field, if present:
     ° giving voice type details for vocal works (SATB, SSA, etc.)
     ° explaining complicated doubling or instrumentation that can't easily be expressed using controlled vocabulary
Examples: instrumental | solo vocal | other vocal

‡2 MARC code that identifies the source of the term in subfield ‡a when it is from a controlled list.
     ° use ‡2 lcmpt for Library of Congress Medium of Performance Thesaurus for Music [85] (LCMPT)
     ° For guidelines on the application of LCMPT, see Provisional Best Practices for Using LCMPT [151]
     LCMPT terms are now used in the medium of performance [87] in authorized access points
     ° However, the exception g) at 6.28.1.9.1 still applies to instruments: omit range for an instrument:
          clarinet not bass clarinet
     But include it for a vocal range:
          soprano voice not soprano

The names of some instruments and voices vary from past practice in the 382 field and from RDA:

Past practice or RDA LCMPT
soprano soprano voice
mezzo-soprano mezzo-soprano voice
alto alto voice
baritone [for the brass instrument] baritone horn
baritone [for the voice type] baritone voice
bass bass voice
voice [for unspecified singing range] singer
narrator speaker
mixed voices mixed chorus
women's voices women's chorus or treble chorus
men's voices men's chorus or tenor bass chorus
Examples
Instrumental examples
The following examples represent practice allowed by the revision of the DCM Z1 document concerning the 382 field; further refinement may be forthcoming:
382 0_ piano ‡n 2 ‡v piano, 4 hands ‡s 2 ‡2 lcmpt
382 0_ prepared piano
382 0_ alto flute
382 0_ piano ‡n 1 ‡s 1
382 0_ ‡b clarinet ‡a string orchestra
382 0_ oboe ‡p saxophone ‡v alternative for oboe
Unspecified medium of performance for instruments
382 0_ performer ‡2 lcmpt
          ° the definition of performer is "an unspecified participant in a musical work," which could apply to an unspecified instrument or unspecified vocalist.
382 0_ instrument ‡n 6 ‡s 6 ‡2 lcmpt
          ° use "instrument" for an unspecified instrument; this may be indicated by the misleading word "voices" in an authorised access point for a 16th- or 17th-century work;
             e.g., Fantasia, ‡m voices (6)
                 ° "voice" in this case should not be confused with an unspecified singing range, for which the term "singer" is used
382 0_ instrument ‡n 4 ‡s 4 ‡2 lcmpt
382 0_ instrument ‡n 1 ‡a piano ‡n 1 ‡s 2 ‡2 lcmpt
382 0_ piano ‡n 1 ‡a instrument ‡n 2 ‡s 3 ‡2 lcmpt
380 0_ melody instrument ‡n 1 ‡a guitar ‡n 1 ‡s 2 ‡2 lcmpt
380 0_ bowed string instrument ‡n 12 ‡2 lcmpt
380 0_ instrument ‡v bass clef ‡n 1 ‡2 lcmpt
          ° use ‡v to indicate "bass clef," because "bass instrument," which is used in a preferred title, is not found in LCMPT
Number of instrumental performers in ‡n and ‡s
382 0_ violin ‡n 2 ‡a continuo ‡2 lcmpt
          ° since "continuo" can consist of multiple instruments, ‡n and ‡s were omitted.
           An alternative practice for continuo, when multiple instruments are playing the continuo and each instrument is known, is to include two 382 fields:
            382 0_ oboe ‡n 1 ‡a continuo ‡2 lcmpt
                  ° no ‡s, since continuo is a flexibly-sized group
            382 0_ oboe ‡n 1 ‡a bassoon ‡n 1 ‡a harpsichord ‡n 1 ‡s 3 ‡2 lcmpt
                  ° ‡s is included
382 0_ synthesizer ‡n 1 ‡a saxophone ‡n 1 ‡a speaker ‡n 1 ‡s 3 ‡2 lcmpt
382 0_ piano ‡n 2 ‡a percussion ‡n 2 ‡s 4 ‡2 lcmpt

Keep in mind that there may a difference in the terms that are appropriate as an attribute of the work and those that are appropriate for an access point.

In the authorized access point, "instrumental ensemble" is used. There are two 382 fields, one in which "instrumental ensemble" is used and another in which each instrument in the instrumental ensemble is listed:
382 0_ ‡b trumpet ‡n 1 ‡a instrumental ensemble ‡e 1 ‡r 1 ‡t 1 ‡2 lcmpt

In this example, the instruments in the flute ensemble/choir are listed in the 1st 382 field. In the 2nd and 3rd 382 fields, the name of the accompanying ensemble (called "flute orchestra" on the resource) is used:

Two or more of the same instrument, only one of which doubles another instrument
Z1 [94] says: "6) Record doubling instrument(s) in ‡d following the appropriate ‡a, according to cataloger's judgment." This does not address the situation in which only one of two or more of the same instrument doubles on another instrument. For example, two flutes, one of which doubles on piccolo has been coded one of the following ways:

     flute ‡n 2 ‡d piccolo ‡n 1 ‡s 2
     flute ‡n 1 ‡a flute ‡n 1 ‡d piccolo ‡n 1 ‡s 2

However, making the numerals in ‡n subfields of ‡a and ‡d pairs seems to be more amenable to machine processing. This situation will be addressed in the next revision of the Provisional Best Practices for Using LCMPT [152].

MARC Definition
371 Address (For persons, see also RDA 9.12.1.3 [155])
An address (as well as electronic access information such as e-mail, telephone, fax, TTY, etc. numbers) associated with the entity described in the record.
     ° Multiple addresses, such as mailing addresses and addresses corresponding to the physical location of an item or facilities, are recorded in separate occurrences of field 371.
     ° For a person: the address of a person's place of residence, business, or employer and/or an e-mail or Internet address.
     ° For a corporate body: the address of the corporate body's headquarters or offices, or an e-mail or Internet address for the body.

The difference between fields 370 and 371:
     ° Field 370 (Associated place) includes information about places associated with a person or a corporate body at the level of the country, the town, etc.
     ° Field 371 (Address) contains information relating to the location of a person or a corporate body, at which they can be found or reached (e.g., printed mail address, e-mail address, etc.)

Instructions for PCC catalogers in Descriptive Cataloging Manual (DCM) Z1, section on field 371:
Best practice:
     ° Supply based on cataloger's judgment, if the information is readily available and not already being recorded in field 370 subfield ‡e (Place of residence/headquarters).
     ° In cases where subfield ‡a is not recorded, include at a minimum subfield ‡m (Electronic mail address) or subfield ‡b (City).
  ° Do not record physical addresses for living people.
     ° Catalogers are not required to maintain address information when updating a record that contains an address.
     ° Repeatability: In choosing between repeating a field vs. repeating a subfield:
          » If the only addition to an existing field is an additional term from the same vocabulary, repeat the affected subfield.
          » If the vocabulary source differs, or if another associated element differs (such as a range of dates), repeat the field.
          » Overall best practice: repeat the field when needed for clarity.

Update: You may begin using code "q" for recordings with more than two playback channels as per changes regarding sound recordings: 007/04
Configuration of Playback Channels code "q" definition. In order to allow for a direct equivalent coding for surround sound, code "q" was redefined to allow for playback configuration for recordings with more than two playback channels. Previous to this change, code "q" was restricted to quadraphonic recordings (four playback channels), a limitation that resulted in the use of code "z" for non-quadraphonic recordings with more than two playback channels. In order to align with equivalent definitions of code "q" in Motion Pictures and Videorecordings (007/08 - Configuration of playback channels), the definition of code "q" in Sound Recordings 007/04 was revised to read:

Configured to be played back on more than two channels. Use this code for Dolby surround sound tracks and other multichannel techniques.

The definition has already been revised in the MARC Documentation (www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd007s.html [190]); however, the renaming of the data element to Quadraphonic, multichannel, or surround has been delayed because it needs to be documented in the Content Designator History section. The change will be made official and documented in the next MARC Update.

note 1: From Kathy Glennan, 8/5/15, MOUG-L

note 2: Quadraphonic, multichannel, or surround: The sound recording is configured to be played back on more than two channels. Use this code for Dolby surround sound tracks and other multichannel techniques. (See Technical Bulletin 264 [191] (Formerly, Quadraphonic.)

note 3: LC practice is to "assume a CD is stereo unless there is a clear indication (wording on container, printed insert, or the disc itself) that the recording in hand intended to be mono." (MLA-L correspondence on 3/11/2005 from Joe Bartl, Music & Sound Recording Team 1, Special Materials Cataloging Division, Library of Congress)

note 4: Enter the code in subfield ‡f, even if the information does not appear on the item.
   source: OCLC website [192]

note 5: The third letter "D" (for "digital") in the three-letter SPARS [193] code usually corresponds to code "e" in Playback characteristics (OCLC ‡m)
When a recording does not clearly indicate playback configuration, users may either use code u in subfield ‡e or infer a configuration from the recording itself.

note 6: The first letter "A" (for "analog") in the three-letter SPARS [193] code usually corresponds to code "e" in Capture & storage techniques (OCLC ‡n)

SPARS codes appeared on compact discs through the mid 1990s to indicate the type of equipment used to produce the disc. Its emphasis only on tape recorder as equipment is one reason it was discontinued. However, when the code appears on a compact disc, it can be useful to determine Playback characteristics and Capture & storage techniques.
    1st letter = type of audio equipment (usually a tape recorder) used during initial recording (analog or digital)
    2nd letter = type of audio equipment used during mixing/editing (analog or digital)
    3rd letter = type of mastering used (digital only)

        AAD = analog equipment for initial recording; analog equipment for mixing/editing; digital equipment for mastering
        ADD = analog equipment for initial recording; digital equipment for mixing/editing; digital equipment for mastering
        DDD = digital equipment for initial recording; digital equipment for mixing/editing; digital equipment for mastering
        DAD = digital equipment for initial recording; analog equipment for mixing/editing; digital equipment for mastering

Production, publication, distribution, manufacture, and copyright notice (MARC 264)

Music Cataloging at Yale [1] ♪ MARC tagging [78]

Note: this page was created with music cataloging in mind.

See also Recording production, publication, distribution & manufacture statements and copyright date [195] (RDA 2.7-2.11)

Source: LC MARC 21 format for 264 - Production, Publication, Distribution, Manufacture, and Copyright Notice (R) [196]

The 264 fields takes the information found in the 260 field (publication, distribution, etc. (Imprint)) and separates it into functions:
     ° production: inscription, fabrication, construction, etc., of a resource in an unpublished form.
     ° publication: publication, release, or issuing of a resource.
     ° distribution: distribution, distributor(s), and date(s) of distribution of a resource in a published form.
     ° manufacture: printing, duplicating, casting, etc., of a resource in a published form.
     ° copyright date: date associated with a claim of protection under copyright or a similar regime.
The 264 field corresponds to RDA 2.7-2.11 (production, publication, distribution, and manufacture statements and copyright date [195]).

Input conventions for spacing:
     ° No spaces are used between letters of initials, including adjacent initials in personal names.
     ° One space is used between two or more distinct initialisms (or sets of initials), acronyms, or abbreviations appearing in juxtaposition.

Bracketing information: According to D1.2.1, "when adjacent elements within one area are to be enclosed in square brackets, enclose each in its own set of square brackets."

From 264 field PCC Guidelines [197]:
Order of 264 fields: Give the fields for each function of entity statement recorded (2nd indicator value) together and in chronological order from earliest to latest (ordered by 1st indicator value).
     ° Record copyright notice date as the last 264 field.
Subfield ‡c: When multiple statements for different functions are being recorded, date may be recorded once for each function.
     ° ‡c may appear in one and only one 264 with 2nd indicator 0, one and only one 264 with 2nd indicator 1, etc.
Ending punctuation: Except for the copyright notice date, 264 fields follow the same punctuation practices as 260 fields.
     ° A 264 for a copyright notice date does not have ending punctuation.

See also: Publisher's and plate number for music [198] (RDA 2.15.2 & 2.15.3) and Manufacturer number for sound recordings [11] (MARC 028)

The MARC 028 field is used for formatted numbers assigned by publisher or distributors to sound recordings, printed music, other music-related materials, and video recordings.

LC and OCLC examples

Indicators
1st (type of number) 0 = issue number (sound recordings): assigned by a publisher to a specific sound recording, side of a sound recording, or performance on a sound recording or to a group of sound recordings issued as a set and may appearson the record label or, in some cases on the packaging for a group of sound recordings. (see Manufacturer number for sound recordings (MARC 028) [10])
1 = matrix number (sound recordings): stamped or handwritten onto the non-grooved area near the recording's side and indicates the master from which the specific recording was pressed. (see Manufacturer number for sound recordings (MARC 028) [10])
2 = plate number (scores): assigned by a publisher and usually is printed at the bottom of each page, and sometimes also appears on the title page.
3 = other music number (publisher's number) (scores): assigned by a publisher and normally appears only on the title page, the cover, and/or the first page of music.
4 = Video recording number
5 = Other publisher number
6 = Distributor number: is assigned by a distributor
   ° when in doubt as to whether a number is a publisher number or a distributor number, record it as a publisher number.
2nd (note/added entry controller) 0 = no note, no added entry
1 = note, added entry required
2 = note, no added entry
3 = no note, added entry required
Subfields
‡a publisher or distributor number: the number assigned by the publisher or distributor
‡b source: for scores, use the publisher's name
‡q (new subfield for 2.15.1.7) qualifying information: qualifiers associated with the number, such as part to which the number pertains, where number found is on the item, etc.

     year, month, and day = yyyy-mm-dd
     Use subfield ‡2 edtf to indicate the date schema.
See Using the Extended Date/Time Format (EDTF) Specification below.

The application of EDTF to dates applies only to the 046 field, not to date(s) in subfields ‡s or ‡t in other fields (e.g., start and end dates in the 37X fields [21]) since ‡2 in those fields is already being used for other purposes and therefore cannot be used to identify EDTF as the source of the encoding for a date.

Instructions for PCC catalogers in Descriptive Cataloging Manual (DCM) Z1 [202], section on field 046:
Best practice:
     ° When encoding date information, give the fullest information about the date that is readily available.
     ° The date in an 046 may be more precise than a date used in the 100 ‡d.
     ° When revising existing authority records, record dates in the 046 when the information is readily available even if the authorized access point itself does not have dates in 100 ‡d.
     ° The 046 field must be repeated when subfield ‡2 does not apply to all dates.

The ISMN (International Standard Music Number) (MARC 024)

Music Cataloging at Yale [1] ♪ MARC tagging [78]

The International Standard Music Number is a "unique number for the identification of all printed music publications ... whether a part, a score, or an element in a multi-media kit" that became available at the end of 1993.

ISMN numbers from 1993 through 2007 are 9-digit numbers beginning with the letter "M"
ISMN numbers after 2007 are 13-digit numbers beginning with the 4 numbers "9790" (source [212])

Both may appear on scores:

The ISMN is entered in the 024 field.

9-digit number 13-digit number
(the first 4 numbers will be 9790)
first indicator = 2 first indicator = 2*
second indicator = blank second indicator = blank

* Previously, the 13-digit ISMNs were treated as EANs, which were coded 1st indicator value 3 source [213]. As of June 2013, all ISMNs (both 10- and 13-digit) should be coded with a first indicator value of 2. source [214]. When transcribing the old format ISMN, include the initial letter M, followed by the numbers without spaces and hyphens. The new format ISMNs are transcribed without spaces.

If a publication has more than one ISMN and we choose not to transcribe all of the ISMNs, follow these guidelines, originally published in Fontes Artis Musicae, vol. 40/2, p. 148:

       If the publication includes a score, give the ISMN of the score. If the publication includes parts,
       give the ISMN of the score, if any, and the ISMN with the lowest item number among those of
       the parts (e.g., of three parts with item numbers, 12345, 12344, and 12346, choose, 12344).

When a number on a publication is given as an ISMN number, but does not follow the standards of ISMN, tag it in the 024 field with indicator 2, but put the number in ‡z:

On item: ISMN M-69400-039-40419
In bib record: 024 2_ ‡z M6940003940419

See also ranges of ISMN numbers sorted by country or region [215] and The International ISMN Agency [216].

Universal product code (UPC) and other codes (MARC 024)

Music Cataloging at Yale [1] ♪ MARC tagging [78]

UPC, International (formerly European) Article Number (EAN), ISWC (International Standard Works Code)

The UPC code is a 12-digit number appearing underneath a barcode on commercial products in the US and Canada. The 1st and 12th digits are smaller and appear on either end of the barcode; the 2nd through 11th are divided into two groups of five underneath the barcode.

The UPC code is entered in the 024 field without any spaces.
1st indicator  = 1
2nd indicator = blank

The first 6 of these digits is the manufacturer's code.
The next 5 digits are the product code.
The last digit is a check digit.
UPC code under a barcode Enter all 12 digits without hyphens or spaces in the 024 field, with 1st indicator "1":
024 1_  028943083239

Don't confuse a 13-digit International (formerly European) Article Number (EAN) with an UPC. The EAN, international standard corresponding to the UPC, looks very much like a UPC code, except for the extra digits. EAN code under a barcode Enter all 13 digits without hyphens or spaces in the 024 field, with 1st indicator "3":
024 3_  4901234567894

The ISWC (International Standard Works Code) code is an 11-digit number divided into three elements:
the letter T (the prefix element), followed by nine digits (the work identifier), and a numeric check digit.

It appears with or without hyphens and/or dots:

ISWC T-034.524.680-1
ISWC T0413603765

Enter the ISWC code in the 024 field without spaces, hyphens, or dots.
1st indicator  = 7
2nd indicator = blank
in ‡2 add iswc (in lower case):

024 7_ T0413603765 ‡2 iswc

Varying form of title (MARC 246)

Music Cataloging at Yale [1] ♪ MARC tagging [78]

Note: this page was created with music cataloging in mind.

The 246 field contains a form of the title appearing on different parts of an item or a portion of the title proper, or an alternative form of the title when the form differs significantly from the title in field 245. Source: MARC 21 LITE bibliographic format: title and title-related fields (20X-24X) [217]

Use the 246 field when:
° There is only one work, use the 246 field.
° There are two or more works and no collective title, use a 246 for variant forms of the title used as the title proper (usually the first in the 245 field); use the 740 field for all other titles and variants of them.
° There are two or more works and there is a collective title for the item as a whole, use the 246 field for any variant of the collective title.

When inputting a title in a 246 field, omit any initial article [218].
