[padg] Re: Binding Music Scores

["Barbara B. Eden" <beb1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,
At Cornell we only bind music scores if they are not double signature and these are sent to the commercial binder just like any other monograph. If they are double signature they go directly to the  music  library and they are sewn into pamphlet binders.  All of the music library staff have musical training.

Best,
Barbara

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,
