Work metadata
Rich metadata makes your catalogue searchable and useful. The most important fields are:
- Title — the name of the piece. Required.
- Composer — who wrote it. Required.
- Instrumentation — the forces required (e.g. string quartet, SATB).
- Duration — approximate performance length.
- Catalogue / opus number — identifiers such as Op. 27 or BWV 1007.
Consistent instrumentation wording makes filtering far more effective when your
catalogue grows. Pick a convention and stick to it.
You can fill these in when you create a work or update them later by editing the work.
