Opus/Catalogue Number field ⟨User:Lupianbaroque [#15832]

Dear Lupianbaroque: I just thought I would point out that the name of the collection a work comes from does not go in the Opus/Catalogue Number field. It is always a good idea to put it in, so that people can find both the individual page and the collection page, but if you look at how I've altered Böddecker's Solo Violin Sonata page, that collection has been moved to the "Year of First Publication" field, i.e. 1651 in [the name of the collection]. If we have the collection at IMSLP you can even link them using double square brackets, and then copy/paste the page title, in this case "Sacra partitura (Böddecker, Philipp Friedrich)". If you don't want to display the composer's name again, you can use a "|" symbol, followed by what you want to display, i.e. "Sacra partitura".

The Opus/Catalogue Number field goes for the composers work catalogue list, for example the K. numbers in Mozart, or opus numbers. (Library numbers don't count for this field, since they aren't "unique", and even one library can have more than one shelf number if they have more than one copy of a work.)

Thanks, B
