Music Scores Processing

Body

1.  Scores/parts purchased as a PDF will require considerable staff time to process; two days to construct a final product should be expected. The PDF should be emailed to cataloging staff so it can be formatted before printing.

2.  Scores/parts need to be printed and taped so as to be usable to the patron. Examples: Suite of Irish Folk Tunes and Polar Vortex: for saxophone quartet.

3.  The score should be printed (double-sided) and glued into the blue folder, or spiral bound if there are too many pages for the score to lay flat when open.

4.  Parts should be printed (double-sided) so that when laid out and taped together (no more than 3 pages wide), pagination is continuous when flipped. Example: assume a part is 6 pages long, 3 when printed (double-sided). You would print pages 1 & 6 together, 2 & 5 together, and 3 & 4 together. Pages 1 to 3 are laid out, face up, and taped together. When flipped over, you will see pages 4 to 6.

5.  Individual parts are treated as separate item records. Type of part is designated in the Volume field (e.g., cello, violin 1, violin 2, etc.)

6.  Each music part has an individual barcode and call number label affixed.

7.  Parts are kept in the pocket of the folder. Pockets are created from envelopes that have been cut and glued to the inside back cover of the folder.

8.  Inventory label on the back of the folder should read: XX parts in pocket. XX barcodes total.

9.  Adhere “XX parts in pocket. XX barcodes total.” label to the back of the folder near the main barcode. The main barcode on the back cover is assigned to the score.
