Search the library before adding music to avoid duplicates. Use established names and preserve accents and diacritics.
Artists
Use the commonly recognized full name, such as Frédéric Chopin. Put dates in Birth date and Death date, and background information in Biography.
Collections
Use Collection for a named set or book that contains independent pieces. Enter the collection title without adding the artist’s name.
Pieces
In Title, include the key, opus or catalogue number, and nickname when they help identify the work. For example:
- Symphony No. 5 in C minor, op. 67
- Sonata in C major, K. 545
The artist is already shown separately, so leave their name out of the title.
Movements
Use the movement’s printed title without repeating the piece title. Use Movement for a named musical subdivision that needs its own shared Library identity, including an act, scene, musical number, variation, or part when appropriate.
Keep personal descriptions such as “exam piece” in your My Music title, labels, or notes.
