====== Early Arrangements ======
Cobs 1-47+ and 101-234+ have an early arrangement often characterized by additional melody [[:octaves]]. It is conjectured that the earliest rollers (cobs) were arranged for pressure instruments, and upon the change to vacuum it was determined that an arrangement with fewer concurrent notes would be preferable.

In addition, [[:pinning]] are also common.

It is often possible to recognize Early Arrangements by their [[:labels]].
  *Front Labels:
    *All known cobs which have labels with a wide "**N O.**" (with a slight space between the letters) are Early Arrangements.
    *Later labels have "**NO.**" without the space; these may //possibly// be Early Arrangements.
    *No known Early Arrangements have the late "**No.**" labels.
  *Directions Labels:
    *Early labels have two-sentence Directions; these may //possibly// be Early Arrangements.
    *Later labels have a single sentence; these may //possibly// be Early Arrangements but it is very unlikely.
    *No known Early Arrangements have late directions labels with "emblems" above the text.
