What is the best way to add specific contents (author# and titles) within an edited Anthology? I need to be able to search for individual works within large anthologies of printed sheet music. Thanks!

This has cropped up before. Some of us just use the Comments to list the contents.

To clarify... although you cannot search the contents of your Comments using the Site Search, you can do so using your own Catalogue Search.

You may want to add each work as an individual work in your catalog.

You would then need to hope someone else is kind enough to use the Relationships field to connect the two, because while Tim is perfectly fine with people adding stuffed bobcats and perfumes to the site, he has explicitly said that we should not "create new works" for the purpose of connecting them via the Relationships field. It is, however, okay for one person to create works, and a second person to connect them, so perhaps you can find another cataloger of sheet music and team up.

(In reality I very much doubt Tim would take action against you if you did in fact use the Relationships field in that manner; I'm mostly just really annoyed they created half of such a cool feature and never finished it.)
