About me Welsh, born 1950s; information professional specializing in data conversion. Principal enthusiasms (in no special order): cats, dark chocolate, classical music, Apple Mac, FRBR, subject classification, though a bit rusty.
I have classified my music scores by Coates BCM classification -- currently parked in the DDC field! Also most items have been reclassified by UDC (not always as adequately as I would like) but I've not got around yet to adding those to LT. I did think long and hard about using Colon Classification but as it stands in edition 6 the schedules are rather out of date. Edition 7 that he was working on at his death would have improved that substantially but I'm not clear how much effort is now going into keeping it up to date. Time for me to start re-reading the Prolegomena 3rd ed!
About my library Most things added -- might add some maps in due course. Fairly eclectic mixture but strongest in music (including scores) and homœopathy / homeopathy / homöopathie. Large number of CDs as well but LT is not the right place for them, especially since it is not possible to catalogue directly at work rather than manifestation level.

Noted your classification of musical scores - I thought that I was the only person in the world still using BCM classification :-) I was sad to see that the classification seems to have essentially died; the BCM itself now uses Dewey decimal, if I recall correctly. But I'm an arch-conservative; I began using BCM for performing material more than forty years ago and I'm not going to stop now ...
It's not always the easiest classification scheme in the world to use, and the published schedule from 1960 is delightfully outdated ...
And, changing topic, I was happy to see that we share an interest in cats.
