[Koha] Music notation or printed music - how to make it obvious

[Elaine Bradtke]

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?
