Our cataloging department inscribes the score and parts so we know the difference between a score and a part. If all parts are to go into a pocket, such as in the case of a percussion piece, the cataloger indicates this with a flag used throughout the library to communicate with the Preservation Dept. This takes a lot of guesswork out of the processing of music. I don't require musical experience of my students who do this work.

Subject: [padg] Binding Music Scores
Dear PADG: I am looking for manuals/information on in-house binding of music scores. I have one reference (Binding and care of printed music by Alice Carli) but I am looking for others.
Also, can anyone comment whether the technician doing the work would require musical training?
Thank you in advance for your ideas –
Best,
