Performers are first classified by performance type. If a performer is engaged in multiple activities, it is possible to select a primary and secondary performance type when indexing an image in Musiconis. Any musical performance--especially instrumental--should be entered as the primary performance type. For example, in order to index a lute-playing juggler, "lute player" would be the primary performer type and "juggler" would be the secondary performer type.
