Description/Instructions

(Music)

Up to six one-character alphabetic codes (recorded in alphabetical order) indicate the contents of program notes and other accompanying material for sound recordings, music manuscripts, or notated music.  Generally, a specific code is used only if a significant part of the accompanying material is the type of material represented by the code.

If fewer than six codes are assigned, the codes are left justified and each unused position contains a # (blank).  If more than six codes are appropriate, only the six most important are recorded.  Six fill characters ( |||||| ) are used when no attempt has been made to code these character positions.

(Visual)

Accompanying matter codes for visual materials are five one-character alphabetic codes that indicate the type of accompanying production and publicity material, such as scripts, posters, or pressbooks.  The codes defined for these character positions are primarily applicable to archival motion pictures.  Codes are recorded in alphabetical order.  If fewer than five codes are assigned, the codes are left justified and unused positions contain blanks (#).  If more than five codes are appropriate to an item, only the first five are recorded.
