Aha, so it does use the leader info! I was confused by legacy information on an older version of Koha. However. . . I would like to point out that in MARC 21, leader 6 c is "notated music", and the display says "sound" (and the icon implies sound). I think calling music notation "sound" is worse than leaving the information out altogether. Thanks for the pointer. Any chance sound can be corrected to music, with perhaps a different icon?

Elaine,
If you turn on XSLT stylesheets in your OPAC you will actually see a music symbol on the search results and I think on the bib record detail page itself. I'm off to try a test for you to get you an image of what it will look like.
Thanks Nicole

For some reason, in all the years that our little library has been in existence, no one has bothered to specify when a publication is primarily music notation. I'm changing this as we migrate to Koha (nearly half our stuff is music notation), but before I take the plunge I need to think about how it will work, and what it will look like.
It's my understanding that Koha stores Leader information, but does nothing with it, is this correct?
I want something that will show up clearly, is easily spotted. Not buried somewhere in the physical description or down in a notes field. I'm disinclined to use general material designations, but that could be one way. The other thought was item type. Collections seem less intuitive somehow, and as we have lots of special collections which might contain individual publications of music notation, I'm not sure if that works. Anyone with experience in this? Thanks
