Definition
SCO, REC, 006

The format of the music manuscript or printed music. Determine the format from information in the title ( field 245), uniform title ( field 240) or physical description ( field 300). If the item being cataloged consists of one or more scores along with other materials (e.g., one or more parts), consider only the score or scores in coding this character position. Always use code n for REC.

Codes
blank character Information not supplied
a Full score. Notations showing all parts of a vocal and/or instrumental ensemble arranged one underneath the other, usually on different staves. For popular music, use if the score has two staves for piano and a separate staff for the vocal, with or without guitar chords. If the item consists of one or more scores along with other materials (e.g., one or more parts), consider only the score or scores in coding this character position. For sound recordings, use code n.
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. Scores of works 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 arranged for one or two keyboard instruments are assigned code h (Chorus score).
d Voice score. A score for a vocal work with the accompaniment omitted. Vocal works originally unaccompanied are assigned other codes as appropriate. Note: Codes c and d are assigned to vocal works on the basis of the absence of or type of accompaniment. Scores of works 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 omitted are assigned code h (Chorus score).
e Condensed score or piano-conductor score. Instrumental parts reduced to a version for piano on two or more staves, but with instrumental cues added.
g Close score. Close scores and hymnals in which all the separate parts are transcribed on two staves.
h Chorus score. A score of a work for 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 one or two keyboard instruments or omitted. Formerly, choral scores were coded d (Voice score).
i Condensed score. A score in which the number of staves is reduced to two or a few, generally organized by instrumental sections, and often with cues for individual parts. Used for: Reduced score, Short score.
j Performer-conductor part. Score reduced to a single instrument for which the score was written or for the conductor.
m Multiple formats. Several types of scores issued together (e.g., band music with a full score and a condensed score).
n Not applicable. REC. Not a music manuscript or printed music.
u Unknown
z Music in other than score form. A format of music for which none of the other codes are appropriate, such as music for solo instrument, compositions in graphic notation, or compositions that consist only of instructions for performance. Use if the item consists only of parts. For popular music, use if the score consists of two staves for piano with words printed between the staves, with or without guitar chords.
