Our notes should have a standard format. Currently, the notes I've put into the transform where multiple subfields are present conform to the following (unless there were different instructions in the mapping sheet):
[subfield label]: [subfield value];
so that it appears like this:
subfield a label: a; subfield b label: b; subfield c label: c.
The transform assumes that the last subfield (that isn't a $3, $5, $0, or $1) has some sort of ending punctuation.
However, it does not account for any punctuation within the other subfields, so if subfields already contain ending punctuation such as a period, comma, or semicolon, the formatting can look awkward.
Are there are specific ending punctuation marks that we can expect and look for? If so, I can write it into the transform.
