As my first project I am applying EAD via XMetal to a the collection of a composer, Merrill Ellis, who wrote conventional and electronic music. It is comprised of four series: correspondence, musical compositions, sound recordings, and visual materials.
In Series 2, Compositions, I wish to describe some of the content. In MARC this is done via notes in the 500 tag. XMetal is not allowing this within the <unitttile>, so I have opted to use <abstract>. Comments requested.
<unittitle>Series 2, Compositions.</unittitle>
<unitdate type="inclusive">1960-1981.</unitdate>

<note>
<p>Boxes 1-12 are scores of compositions by Merrill Ellis. Boxes 13-21 are compositions by other composers. Ellis assigned catalog numbers to several of these.</p>
