Taking a look at the title page on google books I would say that the source field in the header should read:
source = "Price & Reynolds, 41, Berners Street W, London" This, along with the publication date, provide a clear statement of what you used as a base for this transcription. You may want to use the phrase, "The Music to J. M. Barrie’s Successful ..." as a subtitle, depending on how busy you want the top of the page to look. Regarding a new style called "incidental": as you observed it is not a style so much as it is an explanation for its purpose or, possibly, its brevity. I think "study" or "overture" would fall into the same category. In this collection, there is a music for "The Pirates Depart" which would be a fair result when searching for a march so I'm leaning towards selecting from existing styles. This is a good place for that discussion but you could also add it as an issue in github if you feel strongly about it. -glen On Tue, Dec 23, 2014 at 9:13 PM, Joel C.
