Thank you for this ideas exchange request.
For the purpose of clarification:
Alma uses (among others) two levels of faceting the bibliographic records: Material type and Resource type.

Regarding the Material Type: There are seven different distinct bibliographic material types in Alma, and this corresponds to the seven different distinct bibliographic material types used by the MARC standard. These MARC standards are explained at https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bdintro.html under section “Scope of the Bibliographic Format”. Ex Libris will leave these distinct seven formats, and not add or subtract from them. This is because there are seven distinct formats in the MARC standard. For this reason we will not add another format or change the name of an existing format. Each bibliographic record has one bibliographic material type. The Material Type is considered “Music” if the LDR pos. 6 is one of the following: c d i j. This is explained in the Ex Libris Knowledge center at https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Product_Documentation/010Alma_Online_Help_(English)/010Getting_Started/050Alma_User_Interface_%E2%80%93_General_Information/Searching_in_Alma#Material_Types_in_Search_Results under section “Fields that Identify the Bibliographic Material Type”. If there is a desired change in how the Material Type “Music” is determined please state exactly what is desired to be changed and we will gladly investigate and consider this change.

The Resource Type is much more specific than the Material Type, and uses a combination of fields to determine what the resource type is. Each bibliographic record has one resource type. The criteria for determining the resource type is explained in the Ex Libris Knowledge center at https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Product_Documentation/010Alma_Online_Help_(English)/010Getting_Started/050Alma_User_Interface_%E2%80%93_General_Information/Searching_in_Alma#The_Resource_Type_Field under section “Rules Used to Create the Resource Type Field”. There are currently nine different resource types related to music and audio resources: Braille Music – Physical, Notated music – Physical, Notated music – Electronic, Audio musical – Physical, Audio musical – Electronic, Audio nonmusical – Physical, Audio nonmusical – Electronic, Music – Component Part, and Audio nonmusical – Component Part. If there is a desired change in how the Resource Types related to audio and music are determined please state exactly what is desired to be changed and we will gladly investigate and consider this change.
