[DCRM-L] Bound volumes of sheet music, etc.

[Deborah J. Leslie]

Exactly. I fear that too often, RBMS scope notes, presumably intended to help identify the genre, go too far in their restrictions, and thus inadvertently obscure it.

A sammelband is any volume of separately-published items bound together by an owner, regardless of time period.

I just don't think of the 19th-20th cens. as the "early modern period."  Have you been using this term for all bound volumes?

​What is the rationale for the chronological limitation​ to a rather vaguely defined "period"? Is there an equally precise term for ... ummmm ... exactly equivalent bindings up of later date? Seems like saying we have to call a pre-c18 printed codex a "tome", and anything later a "book".
