Greetings: I wonder if the apparent contradiction between the examples found in 7.23.1.3, "Recording Performers, Narrators and/or Presenters" which are represented in the 511 field, and the punctuation rule expressed in Appendix D.1.2.1: "Precede each mark of prescribed punctuation by a space and follow it by a space.." The aforementioned examples clearly disregard this.
I'm not losing sleep about this or anything, but it is a quandary of sorts, and it would be good to hear how others resolve this seemingly mixed message. Thank you and best regards, Rick McRae Catalog / Reference Librarian Sibley Music Library Eastman School of Music (585) 274-1370
