RECORDING A PREFERRED TITLE FOR WORK
Inaccuracy in Title Proper of Series
PCC practice: When creating the authorized access point in a series authority record for a multipart monograph, a serial, or an integrating resource, correct the inaccuracy.
Pre-Modern Forms of Letters
LC practice/PCC practice: When a title chosen for the preferred title involves regularization of i/j, u/v, apply the following: use "i" for vowels (e.g., iter, Ilias); use "j" for consonants (e.g., jus, Julius); use "u" for vowels (e.g., uva, Ursa Major); use "v" for consonants (e.g., vox, Victoria); use "w" for consonantal "uu" or "vv" (e.g., Windelia).

(and the updates published at〈 http://www.loc.gov/marc/languages/〉). Note the following when using the code list:1.
Use the name found in boldface type (e.g., "Frisian," not "Friesian").
2.
Use the name for a specific language rather than the name of a language group. For example, use "Bunun," not "Austronesian (Other)". Language groups are indicated by the term "languages" or by the qualifier "(Other)."
3.
Do not include parenthetical dates that appear with the name (e.g., use "Béarnais," not "Béarnais (post-1500)").
4.
Retain other parenthetical qualifiers that appear with the name (e.g., "Afrihili (Artificial language)"; "Luo (Kenya and Tanzania)").
5.
For the early form of a modern language that is found in an inverted form, use the early form in direct order within parentheses following the modern language (e.g., for "French, Old (ca. 842-1400)," use "French (Old French)").
Greek
LC practice/PCC practice: For the MARC language code list forms "Attic Greek," "Greek, Ancient (to 1453)," and "Greek, Modern (1453-)," use "Greek."
list forms "Attic Greek," "Greek, Ancient (to 1453)," and "Greek, Modern (1453-)," use "Greek."However, if the item is a translation from one specific Greek form into another Greek form, or contains text in two specific forms, use the specific form(s) within parentheses following "Greek." In specifying the form of the Greek, use one of the following terms:
"Greek (Ancient Greek)" for the period before 300 B.C.
"Greek (Hellenistic Greek)" for the period 300 B.C.-A.D. 600
"Greek (Biblical Greek)" for the Septuagint and the New Testament
"Greek (Medieval Greek)" for the period 600-1453
"Greek (Modern Greek)" for the period 1453-
Norwegian
LC practice/PCC practice: For the MARC language code list forms "Norwegian," "Norwegian (Bokmål)," and "Norwegian (Nynorsk)," use "Norwegian."

Duet/Duets; Duo/Duos
LC practice/PCC practice: In addition to recording the terms Duet or Duets for their cognates, record Duet or Duets for works titled Duo or Duos.
Mélodie/Mélodies; Melody/Melodies
LC practice/PCC practice: When choosing the preferred title for a work for solo voice and keyboard stringed instrument having the French title "Mélodie" or "Mélodies," do not translate those titles into English as "Melody" or "Melodies" because the cognate words in English and other languages do not have the same meaning as the French words. Consider the medium of performance to be implied by the French title (see RDA 6.28.1.9) and do not add medium of performance in the authorized access point.

SINGULAR OR PLURAL FORM
One Work of One Type
LC practice/PCC practice: When cataloging the first occurrence of a work of a particular type of composition by a composer, choose the preferred title as follows:
1.
If the composer is deceased, consult reference sources to ascertain whether the composer wrote more than one work of that type, and use the singular or plural form as the preferred title according to the information found.
2.
If the composer is living, choose the singular form of the type of composition as the preferred title unless the work being cataloged bears a serial number (including 1); in that case use the plural form on the assumption that the composer has written or intends to write more works of that type.
When cataloging the second occurrence of a work of a particular type by a composer, if the singular form has been used in the authorized access point for the first work of that type, revise the preferred title to the plural.
Remember that medium of performance is a separate element from the preferred title. If the composer wrote one piano sonata and one violin sonata, he or she wrote two sonatas, and therefore the plural form for the type of composition must be used as the preferred title.
Liturgical Words or Phrases
LC practice/PCC practice: When the preferred title is a Latin liturgical word or phrase (e.g., "Gloria," "Salve Regina," "Te Deum"), record it in the singular. Exception: Use the plural form "Magnificats," "Masses," or "Requiems" when appropriate. Generally, do not add the medium of performance in the authorized access point.
Tempo Markings with Modifying Words
LC practice/PCC practice: When the preferred title is a tempo marking with a modifying word or words (e.g., "Andante sostenuto," "Allegro con brio," "Moderato ma non tanto"), record it in the singular.

Alternative Instruments
LC practice/PCC practice: Do not consider as arrangements the following uses of alternative instruments:
1.
A work composed before 1800 for a baroque, renaissance, or other early instrument (viola da gamba, recorder, etc.), or for voice, in a resource that is edited for or performed on a modern instrument or by an alternative voice, provided the key is unchanged and the notation has not been significantly changed.
2.
A work for a melody instrument which is edited for or performed on an alternative instrument specified by the composer in first or early editions.
Added Accompaniments, Etc.
LC practice: For a musical work to which an accompaniment or other parts have been added with no alteration of the original music, do not add "arranged" to the preferred title.
