Page range Page numbers should be cited in full in every case: 19, 1653, 126279, 10231798.

Incomplete reference data Use n.p. for no place, n.d. for no date. For archival materials that have not been catalogued, instead of reference number please use: not catalogued. Where a volume has no author (it may be anonymous or a compilation by an editor) begin the reference with the title, unless it is commonly identified by the editors name.

Repeated references Please use ibid. (note the full stop, not italics) for a repeated reference that immediately follows a reference to the same work. For citation of a reference cited within longer distance do not use op. cit.. Use a short reference with the authors name and the title (or, if the title is too long, the first words) followed by the page reference (e.g. Apel, Keyboard Music, 2934).

Transliteration General For transliteration of Cyrillic please use the ALA-LC System without diacritics. For transliteration of Greek, please use the ALA-LC System. Both are accessible online on the Library of Congress website: http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/roman.html. Quoted text When quoting text in a language other than English, please provide the text in the original language first (NOT transliterated), followed by an English translation. For short quotations (please see below for details), the translation should be placed in parentheses after the original. For longer quotations, which are indented, the translation should appear below the text in the original, and one line should separate the two. Names For those names that appear in The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians please use the transliteration of names as they appear in that persons main entry. E.g. Yannis Constantinidis (not Knstantinids); Nikolaos Skalkottas (not Scalcotas, although

the latter also appears as an option on the online version of The New Grove). However, in references names should appear exactly as in the respective publication. Titles Titles of non-English literary, musical and art works, and titles of books, articles, periodicals, etc. that are not in English should be transliterated. A translation into English should follow in parentheses (not italicized) in all cases except for periodicals, followed by date of publication or completion. For example (used in the main text): In Vesna sviashchennaia (The Rite of Spring, 1913) we find .... Thereafter you may use either the original or translated title but be consistent. Also (used in a footnote): Vladimir Dukelsky, Diagilev i ego rabota (Diaghilev and his Work), Vertsy, 3 (1928), 251-255. Please note that for titles in English, the first letter of all main words should be capitalized. However for titles in other languages, only the first letter of the first word should be capitalized, and other words should start with a capital letter only if they do so in the original language (e.g. Trait de rythme, de couleur, et dornithologie; but Les Troyens and Die Harmonie der Welt). This rule also applies to titles of articles, books, periodicals, etc. that appear in footnotes. Words Italicize non-English words unless they are in common English usage (for example, elite, genre). The abbreviations ibid. and et al. are not italicized. Words in Cyrillic, Greek and so on should be italicized and transliterated.

Ancient Greek names Give familiar names in their traditional English (Latinised) form: Aristotle, Hercules, Aeschylus, Achilles, Ulysses, Oedipus. Please note that when forming the possessives of names from the classical world that end in an s or z sound, the final s is omitted: e.g. Achilles not Achilless. However, in all other cases of nouns ending in an s or z sound please use the final s (Skalkottass).

Quotations Short quotations should be presented in the text within single quotation marks ( ). Longer quotations (more than 60 words long) should be indented, single-spaced, font size 11 and without quotation marks. For verse quotations run into prose text, use a vertical | (not a solidus / ) with space either side to indicate the division between each verse. Quotations within quotations need double quotation marks: Stravinsky stated that music is, by its very nature, essentially powerless to express anything at all in his Autobiography. When omitting words from quotations, you should indicate this by means of three full stops within brackets: [...]. Ellipses without brackets may imply that the full stops appear in the original. Use square brackets [ ] (not parentheses) to interpolate any of your comments or notes.

Parentheses Brackets Use the parentheses symbols as usual. In case of a parenthesis within a parenthesis, use double parentheses (...(... ... ...)... ...) and not square brackets [.... (...) ....]. Use square brackets only for comments, corrections, interpolations, and parenthetical notes: He [Debussy] told Caplet not to do so. The Heroica [sic] Symphony. Satie declared that his work represented a return to classical simplicity with modern sensibility [my italics].

Capitalization Use capitals for the names of people, places, nationalities, days of the week, months (but not seasons), festivals, holidays, wars (use either the First/Second World War or World War I/II), treaties (the Treaty of Rome), institutions and organisations, unique events (the October Revolution), historical periods, cultural schools and movements, titles of rank (Tsar Alexander II, King George VI) empires (the British Empire), titles and subtitles of works and parts of books and so on when referred to specifically (Chapter 2, Part IV, Figure 8, Act III). For references in other languages, use the proper capitalization system in those languages.

Capitalize the title of a movement: the Andante of Mozarts Symphony, but use lowercase and single quotation marks to indicate a tempo mark: the lento gives way to a spirited vivace. For the general use of the terms, use lower-case initial letters, no quotation marks and italics: the allegro character of the piece, the allegro-andanteallegro structure.

Italics & Roman Use italics for titles of books (except for books in the Bible), names of journals, encyclopaedias, dictionaries, periodicals and newspapers, plays, art works, movie titles, operas, named symphonic works (Symphonie fantastique, Petite suite), song cycles and collections, technical terms (a cappella, basso continuo, da capo, allegro). Use roman in quotation marks for single songs, arias, individual movements, pieces within a suite (the Rigaudon from Le Tombeau de Couperin) and popular names (those not furnished by the composer) of works with a genre title (Moonlight Sonata, Jupiter Symphony). Use roman without quotation marks for generic titles and terms and genre titles like Symphony, Sonata, Quartet, Trio, Mass and for variations when popular titles are used (Enigma Variations). Use roman for overtures: Hebrides Overture, but use italics when the title is a part of an opera or literary source Overture Oresteia, Overture A Midsummer Nights Dream. Ibid. and et al., are written in roman type, while sic and c. (circa) are italicized.

Dates and numbers For dates please follow the British format: 24 January 2009 (no th or punctuation). Abbreviate months in references only (24.1.09). Beware old-style dates. If necessary, use N.S. and O.S. (new- and old-style) for clarification. Write nineteenth century rather than 19th century (use the abbreviated form only in notes, reference, and tabular matter), hyphenated as an adjective: nineteenth-century music history. Similarly, write 25 per cent (two words, no point) instead of 25% and first, second, third instead of 1st, 2nd, 3rd. Use 1870s or 1930s but prefer Seventies or Sixties to 70s or 60s.

Word can manage numerals one above the other for time signatures and figuring, but otherwise indicate e.g. 6-4 chords in a passage in 3/4. In plays and operas Act II scene iv.

Abbreviations For upper and lower case abbreviations use: Ph.D., Sun., Feb., Dr, Mr, Mrs, Ms, Mme and Mlle. Avoid abbreviations such as e.g., i.e. and etc.; use expressions such as for example, that is and and so on instead. Write manuscript instead of MS in the text, but in references and captions write MS for manuscript, MSS for manuscripts and arr. for arrangement. Circa. Use c. (italics with dot): c.1830. With a span of dates c. must be repeated before each date if both are approximate: c.1830c.1832. When abbreviating first names, please write: J. S. Bach, G. B. Shaw (with spaces).

Acronyms Acronyms take no points: BBC, UNESCO, while titles of books, plays and journals produce italic abbreviations: JAMS (Journal of the American Musicological Society). Please, write USA, UK without points.

Titles of works For italicization see Italics & Roman. Catalogue numbers: Use a comma after the title and before the catalogue number (Faurs Promthe, Op. 82); use initial capital letters in Op. 1 No. 1 (no comma between the two elements). Musical examples Tables Images Please insert musical examples, tables and images into the text. To ensure high quality of reproduction, please use high resolution (400 dpi) for the iconographic material. All material should be numbered in Arabic numbers and should have caption, which should be placed below the respective element. Their alignment should be centred. 10

References to musical pitch We encourage the use of musical examples rather than musical notation run into the main text. However, in certain cases a single note or short sequences of pitches are more conveniently expressed in the text in letters according to the system devised by Helmholtz. Thus a cello is tuned C-G-d-a, and a violin g-d'-a'-e''. Special subjects may require special terminology, which should be explained. Musical symbols Key signatures Please avoid the use of any musical symbols, since these often cause serious problems in the text format. Use F sharp minor (upper case, no hyphen) instead of F# minor and E flat major instead of Eb major. If it is absolutely necessary to use symbols (to indicate rhythmical patterns, or else), please use a font (such as Opus Text) that would not cause formatting problems in the text. Use abbreviations of dynamics, such as pp, mf, ff (italics).
