F. Theses for Music Library (These items are processed at sent to, and processed by, the Music Library) 

A Doctor of Musical Arts thesis is not the same as a Master's or Ph.D. in music. The latter are treated the same as any other thesis or dissertation. Doctor of Musical Arts theses traditionally have two parts (see note below). One part is text in book format; the other is musical composition in score format. Pt. 2 is not always the score, nor pt. 1 the text. Use part numbers as found on the title pages of the two physical pieces. Before creating the bibliographic records for pt. 1& 2, examine the electronic resource and add a 500 note to indicate that there are 2 parts: the textual portion and musical score component.  Then add a 700 added title entry for whichever part is not given in the 245.
