   VARIABLE FIELDS
   
   
   028/Music Publisher's/Plate number
   
   Music Publisher's numbers usually appear on the title page, cover
   and or the bottom of the first page of music.  Music plate numbers appear
   on the bottom of each page of music.  A score may have one of these
   numbers, both numbers or no number.  If there is a range of numbers, enter the
   first and the last separated by a double hyphen (--).  Enter the number in the
   028 $a with any associated alphabetic characters, except "no." or its
   equilivants, which should be ignored.  The publisher's name should be entered
   in the 028 $b as it would appear in the 260 |b.
   
   	Example:
   
   028::UE 1734 |b Universal Edition
   
   
   Input a main entry field for the author of the score.  If the score
   has no author or more than four authors, do not input a 1xx field.

   254/Musical Presentation Statement.
   
   In addition to the edition statement, a score may include a "musical
   presentation statement" which indicates the specific score format, since many
   scores are published in several formats or version.  Typical examples
   are:
   
   

   Score

   Partitur

   Study score

   Minature score

   Transcribe these phrases or their equilivants in other languages, as they appear on the item.

3. 300/Pagination
   1. Use the term "score" to describe music for two or more performers.

   2. Use the term "p. of music" for music for one performer. Indicate the number of pages by using the highest numbered page.

   3. Use the term "parts" to indicate the number of parts for music for more than one person, but each person has their own part (as in a string quartet where there is a part each for violin I, violin II, viola and violoncello).

      	Examples: 
      
      	1 score (250 p.)
      
      	43 p. of music [for a piano solo]
      
      	4 parts [for a string quartet]
      
      
      

   4. If a score is issued as part of a set, use "v." instead of the number of pages. In addition, create an OPR (for acquisitions staff) or VHLD (for cataloging staff) to list volumes ordered or cataloged.

      Example:

      1 score ( v.)

      For complicated pagination or unnumbered pages use 1 v. (various paging).

      NOTE: The number of pages is added only with book-in-hand; do not indicate for orders.

4. 533/Reproduction

   If the score is a microform or photocopy, add a note indicating this:

   	Examples:
   
   	533::Photocopy.
   
   	533::Microfilm.
