I do understand that score and book citations look alike (and like chapters if in an anthology). From a musicological user standpoint, however, it's also having an ICON for music score to distinguish

so here's my concern: For citations, music scores are cited both as books:

Sorry for the delay in reporting back. I have consulted with two music librarians, and we came up with the following to create a musicScore item type. Here is a first round of suggestions, subject to

I've been using Z. for a couple of weeks now, and have just started inputting my collection of audio recordings and music scores, which is distinctly secondary in importance to management of scholarly

no. Collections are _not_ folders - a good way to think about them is playlist - if you're adding an mp3 to a playlist, it will still exist in the list of all your music files (and if you remove an it

Number detection in the title would be great but an even better addition would be if documents could be assigned a number-metadata like tracks in a music player. This way it would be much easier to so

generally, keep in mind that the general approach in Zotero and CSL is to limit field and item names as much as possible - e.g. there almost definitely won't be multiple music score item types, having

I'm a musicologist, and I'm going to work with a music librarian and, hopefully, a tech person and/or cataloger in our library in order to get this fully fleshed out. None of us have done Zotero deve

It's really up to you - I don't think watching folders for PDF and automatically importing them is something that will be introduced anytime soon by Zotero. I don't think it would be terribly hard to
