hmmm.  You mean, I assume, allowing multiple occurrences of the
`manuscript' and closely related fields.

On the whole that seems too much for the gabc header; I think the gabc
header should be kept fairly simple.  Classifying chant precisely and
relating different sources is something which (I believe) chant
scholars find hard work.  (Certainly I get that impression from
e.g. David Hiley's book.)  I suspect that if such a scholar (and I'm
not one) wanted to use gabc, they'd just put their own single
reference in the header, and use a database or table, in a separate
document, to show what they believe the relationships between
different sources are.
