CHARACTER POSITION DEFINITION AND SCOPE
Music definition of field 008/18-34 is used when Leader/06 (Type of
record) contains code c (Notated music), d (Manuscript notated music), i (Nonmusical
sound recording), or j (Musical sound recording). Field 008 positions 01-17 and 35-39
are defined the same in all 008 fields and are described in the 008-All
materials section.
Field 008/18-34 correspond to equivalent positionally defined data elements in field
006/01-17 when field 006/00 (Form of material) contains code c (Notated music), d
(Manuscript notated music), i (Nonmusical sound recording), or j (Musical sound
recording). Details about specific codes defined for the equivalent character positions
in field 006 and 008 for music are provided in the Guidelines for
Applying Content Designators of 008-Music section only.
GUIDELINES FOR APPLYING CONTENT DESIGNATORS
■ CHARACTER POSITIONS
18-19 - Form of composition (006/01-02)
Two-character alphabetic code that indicates the form of composition. Codes are
based on Library of Congress subject headings. If more than one code is
appropriate, the code mu (Multiple forms) is used in 008/18-19 and all
appropriate specific codes are given in field 047 (Form of Composition). Code
mu (Multiple forms) may also signify that field 047 (Form of
Composition) contains non-MARC composition codes.
Form of composition code is based on the terminology in the work itself and is
intended to provide a coded approach to the content of the work. In addition to
codes for forms, the list also includes codes for musical genres (e.g., Ragtime
music). Codes should be assigned when they apply to the item as a whole (e.g.,
if the item is a symphony and one of the movements is in sonata form, only the
code for symphonies is recorded). Codes for which special information is needed
for proper application are described below. Other codes are described in music
reference sources. Non music sound recordings do not have a form of composition
and are coded nn (Not applicable).

20 - Format of music (006/03) One-character code that indicates the format of a musical composition (e.g.,
piano-conductor score).
Information for this data element is generally derived from terms appearing in
field 300 (Physical Description). 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. Used for notated
music; for sound recordings, use code n (Not applicable.

CONTENT DESIGNATOR HISTORY
008/18-19 - Form of composition [USMARC only]Prior to the definition of code bd (Ballads) in 1997, ballads were identified with
code fm (Folk music).
In 2006, code mu was redefined to signify that either multiple MARC codes or non-MARC codes are contained in field 047 (Form
of Composition).
008/21 - Existence of parts [OBSOLETE, 1988]Defined codes were: # (No parts exist), a (Parts exist), n (Not applicable), u
(Unknown).
008/21 - Music parts [NEW, 2002]008/22 - Target audience
c - Elementary and junior high [RENAMED, 2002]
d - Secondary (senior high) [RENAMED, 2002]
u - School material at first level [OBSOLETE] [CAN/MARC only]
v - School material at second level [OBSOLETE] [CAN/MARC only]
Prior to the definition of codes a through g in 1995, only code # and j were used in
USMARC.
008/23 - Form of item
# - None of the following [REDEFINED, 1987]
g - Punched paper tape [OBSOLETE, 1987]
h - Magnetic tape [OBSOLETE, 1987]
i - Multimedia [OBSOLETE, 1987]
x - Other form of reproduction [OBSOLETE] [USMARC only]
z - Other form of reproduction [OBSOLETE]
Code # (Not a reproduction) was redefined when the focus of 008/23 was changed. Codes
g, h, and i were made obsolete when the coding of 008/23 (Forms of reproduction code)
was redefined as information about the medium of the item in hand rather than about
bibliographic reproductions. Prior to 1977, other forms of reproduction were
identified by code x.
008/24-29 - Accompanying matter [USMARC only]
n - Not applicable [OBSOLETE, 1980]
j - Historical information other than music [OBSOLETE, 1980]
Code n was made obsolete because the codes defined for these character positions
apply to both sound recordings and music scores. Code j was made obsolete when code i
was redefined to include any historical information.
008/24-27 - Accompanying matter [REDEFINED, 1997] [CAN/MARC only]
j - Historical information other than music [OBSOLETE, 1997]
l - Biography of arranger or transcriber [OBSOLETE, 1997]

a government publication); z (Other type of government publication)
008/29 - Undefined [OBSOLETE] [CAN/MARC only]008/32 - Main entry in body of entry [OBSOLETE, 1990]Defined codes were: 0 (Main entry not in body of entry), 1 (Main entry in body of
entry).
008/33 - Transposition and arrangement [NEW, 2002]
