Can you build a citation from a score?
According to our style guide, here is how we build a citation for a score:
Composer Last Name, First Name. Score Title. Edited or Arranged by First Name Last Name if Applicable. City of Publication, State or Country: Publisher Name, Year of Publication.
For example:
Frank, Gabriela Lena. Leyendas: An Andean Walkabout. New York: G. Schirmer, 2005.
Tips for citing scores
- Some scores list the title in multiple languages
- Include the information exactly as it appears on the score’s title page
- This will help a reader to determine what edition you’re citing
- Many scores include both composers and editors
- Be sure to include the name of the editor and any other contributors
- This will help a reader to determine what edition you’re citing
- If a publisher lists multiple cities on the title page, just include the first one in your citation
- Can't find the date of publication? Look on the back of the title page.
