International Standard Music Number (ISMN) updated in ISO standard

The International Standard Music Number (ISMN) which uniquely identifies editions of notated music has been updated in the revised standard ISO 10957:2009. The ISMN has been increased from 10 to 13 digits, thus bringing it into line with the International Standard Book Number (ISBN) which was similarly increased from 1 January 2007 to ensure future capacity.
