Tony Thanks for your reply. Your example is taking the first-named as the main entry and also encoding the other two. So the alternative means encoding all creators instead of only the principal? I thought that we would do the same thing when we encode the principal or the first-named as the main entry. And encoding how many creators is a "core element" issue. It is not an issue about the choice of main entry (authorized access point representing the work). That is why I was curious with the difference of the alternative.
If they are in separate fields, is there an order requirement? And Library of Congress policy says Do not apply ???
