Structure

The book is divided into three main sections.

''Behind Bars: General Conventions''

12 years after the publication of the original Behind Bars, Faber released the first section of the book, "General conventions", as a standalone publication, titled simply Behind Bars: General Conventions. It was recommended as "the perfect complement to any reference collection" by Philip Rothman of the Scoring Notes blog.
