Hi Rebecca,
I have a record extract for a project we've been working on that I think illustrates the problem pretty well - records for sound recordings that have 100/240/245 but no 700s with $t. All I have access to today is a subset of the record (100/240/245/7xx - we were doing some analysis on them). Here's an example:
100 10 Hahn, Reynaldo,|d1875-1947.
240 10 Ciboulette
245 10 Ciboulette|h[sound recording] :|bopâerette en 3 actes /|cReynaldo Hahn ; [libretto par] R. de Flers et F. de Croisset.
700 10 Flers, Robert de,|d1872-1927.
700 10 Croisset, Francis de,|d1877-1937.
700 10 Mesplâe, Mady|4prf.
700 10 Gedda, Nicolai.|4prf.
700 10 Dam, Josâe van.|4prf.
700 10 Diederich, Cyril.|4cnd.
710 20 Ensemble vocal Jean Laforge.|4prf.
710 20 Orchestre philharmonique de Monte-Carlo.|4prf.
I'm pretty sure that would end up in MODS with lots of name elements for each of the 700s. Many (maybe even most) of our records here at IU have $4 relator codes, but I know that's fairly unusual.
Let me know if this full set of MARC records would help you and I'll see if I can dig it up to send your way.
