Since I'm using free-text searching, rigid formats are not required, but
the data you indicate (Title, Composer, Arranger, Instrumentation,
Publisher, and Comments) are pretty much required. Grade (how difficult)
is a tough one, since AFAIK there are no "grades" formally assigned as
there are in piano music (the Royal Conservatory in Canada being a prime
example of piano music grading). Comments would probably suffice.
