[DCRM-L] Relationship designator question

[Randal Brandt]

I have encountered many similar items in recent years (mostly 18th cent. 
French plays, but still). I have not used relationship designators for 
the composer, but rather a note and added author/title entry. E.g.,

500 Without the music.
OR
500 Libretto only; without the music.

700 Composer name. $t Title. $s Libretto.

I'd be happy to find out what others are doing.
