RE: (OT?) Looking for sheet music with the code of the bottom of commercial music

[Andrew Bernard]

Hi Bernhard,

This sort of publisher code may be common in Germany but I have never seen it 
here in Australia, at least, or in scores from Europe in general. Publishers 
put all sorts of codes and private numbers on sheafs of pages for printing to 
help with binding and so on, although this seems now old fashioned with modern 
print machinery. There is no special search engine for this information unless 
it is specific to some German publishing industry standard, but I doubt it.

Subject: (OT?) Looking for sheet music with the code of the bottom of 
commercial music

on commercial music sheets there is a code at the bottom of the pages 
indicating the publishers and the edition of that piece/book. I have this code 
and want to look up the publisher and the information whether that piece of 
music is not available. With google I was not successfull when I tried to 
search for "B.N.B. 140". Therefore I ask here what search engine supports this 
code? I found it once for another piece but there should be a database to 
search within, hopefully.
