Uniform title for music

Basic principles

• Starting point, analysis of:
  - AFNOR
  - AACR2
  - RAK-Musik
• Compromise between synthesis and fuller access point
• The least possible abbreviations
• Punctuation scheme to improve clarity:
• comma (, ) to separate elements
• point (. ) to introduce a dependant title (e.g. excerpts)
• parentheses ( ( ) ) to include elements of expression (e.g. arrangement)
• angle brackets ( < > ) to include disambiguation elements (e.g. dates)
• colon (: ) to introduce the title of a paraphrased work
• Draft pre-publication, December 2006
  Now under revision, to fully adhere to the new general rules
• Responsibilities:
• in the case of libretti, primary is the librettist,
  but should a secondary responsibility appear for the composer?
