We would like to set up a small musical library in our school.
Anybody have some tips how to organize it.
Anybody knows about simple software or database for such a score

Very good question. I don't have the answer, but I am interested
myself, and would like to keep this on-list.

When this question comes up on other lists (ChoraList, OrchestraList), a
few proprietary software items are usually mentioned, but a large
consensus seems to feel that any of the generic databases that can be
set up flexibly is a better choice because they can reflect your own
needs of the moment and they can also be changed if those needs change
in the future. The disadvantage is that someone who is
computer-literate must set it up in the first place. Our music
department uses Filemaker Pro, which may be Mac only (as is out
Department), for our databases, and it's set up so that our secretaries
have no problems accessing and using them.
Of course we also have the expertise for people to have written original
database programs for us that go far beyond any generic database.

FilemakerPro is also a windows program.
