Library classification system for symphonic orchestra libraries

Post by HaraldS »

Two questions for librarians, especially those who maintain a symphonic orchestra library:

1. What classification system do you use? E.g. one of the following, though they are not aimed directly at orchestra libraries?:[/list]
  • or simple numbering?
2. What software do you use?
  • just an Excel sheet of something fancy?
Thanks in advance.
