Writings on music
These are catalogued publications carrying the name — editions and printings, distinct from the works they contain and from writing about the subject. The run opens with State intervention in production in the 1970's and closes with Middle Bronze Age to Middle Iron Age Settlement at New Road, Greenham, West Berkshire. The 2010s are the densest part of the run, with 18 titles, and that concentration is a fact about what the registers have catalogued rather than a judgement on the work itself.

Primary material
Recordings and discography
The discography assembled here shows how Taylor's work has been published in sound, not what Taylor made. 12 sound issues are catalogued, carrying dates from 1986 to 2026. An issue is a published recording, distinct from the composition it carries, from a printed score of that composition and from any single performance of it; none of the entries below is counted in the catalogue of compositions above, and several of them carry the same work in different readings. The 1980s are the densest decade of publication, with 4 issues. The performers and issuing labels are as the discographic register states them; where it names no performer the article names none.
