Processing Information

The sheet music in this collection is organized alphabetically by the composer's last name. When there were multiple pieces by the same composer they were organized chronologically in ascending order and then alphabetically by song name. In the cases of books that contained multiple composers, they were organized alphabetically by the last name of the first author listed.
