In which case there should be no 245/$c statement of responsibility,
but rather the author's names would be after their individual titles
in a contents note.
In the absence of a collective title, could we agree to *never* enter
under first title proper with author(s) following, but *always* to
assign a collective title?
It will be very rare if ever that there will be more joint authors
than can be easily transcribed.
I was thinking of adding the "[and 52 others including ...]" to the
MRIs, but I don't recall in over 60 decades of cataloguing ever having
such a long statement of responsibility, as opposed to a contents note
for a collection, or video noncast and cast credits.
