Catalogue & number
Catalogues should always be preceded by comma and space.
Opus and number should always be lower-cased and abbreviated:
op. and no. If they are used together, space is delimiter. Specific catalogues (eg. Köchel) should follow their usual style.
Examples
op.4
op.27 no.3
Symphony no.5
String Quartet in D major, op.11
Keys
The word "in" should always precede the key name.
Sharp/flat
If the key name contain the words "sharp" or "flat", they should be in lower case and a hyphen should be used as delimiter.
Major/minor
The words "major" & "minor" are always lower-cased.
- "major" or "minor" does not have to be added (except for generic Works titles in English)
Examples
A-flat major
C-sharp minor
Concerto in c
Symphony in E major
Quotes & libretti
Although capitalization should follow MB standard capitalization/English, librettos & quotes should follow sentence style. Use double quotes if a different character has been used (' or something)
