Searching, Navigating and Understanding |
To search for and go directly to a specific word or phrase (such as a song title, composer name, etc.), use keystroke Control + F (Windows) or Command + F (Mac). A search box will appear in your browser window: for Explorer and Opera at top left; for Safari and Chrome, top right; for Firefox at bottom left).
When entering titles in the search box, omit the opening "The," "A," or "An" (e.g. "Foggy Day" not "A Foggy Day". Also, for names of compsers and lyricists, enter last name only, e.g. "Porter," not "Cole Porter."
Finally, if you aren't sure in any way of the exact term you are searching for, enter a part of it you are sure of. For example, if you don't know how to spell "Ac-cent-tchu-ate the Positive," enter "positive" and you will find what you're looking for. |
| To go to a specific alphabetical section of the title catalog, use the Alpha-Links at top and bottom of the main column, or below in this column, then scroll to the exact row you are seeking. |
