Help Search OSA
|
The online database of musical works can be searched according to several criteria. In the OSA Search it is allowed to search by title of musical works or by ISWC code . For refine search results and narrowing the scope you can add another search condition such as IPI code, name of author/publisher or artist.
Search in the OSA Musical Works Online Database works on the principle of a partial or a literal search.
In the literal search system the database displays only exact results given – use this option only if you know the exact musical work title or ISWC code.
If you don´t know the exact title or the ISWC code of musical work you are seeking for , you can use the option search by "begins with" and "contains". In this case the system will search all records in the database beginning with or containing the searched words. Use this option when searching a work without knowing the exact information about that.
