Stephen and I worked up the following sample of expansion codes for Music.
We'll talk more about this at the meeting, but since the ad-cat list has a
broader reach than the meeting, I thought I'd post them here as well.

Theory... The letters before the dash more or less represent libraries and
call numbering peculiarities. The letters after the dash more or less
represent material types.


  Code for       Expands into...

  mj-mfilm       MUSIC    MCRFORM      MFILM             DAILY3

  etc.

How does this look for a start? In particular, would you make different
choices about the terms used in the post dash part of the code?
