German term or phrase: AUFTNR.
I am translating a number of articles about a musician. One of the documents looks like a ticket or train schedule, detailing the cities where the musician will appear and when. The abbreviation AUFTNR. appears at the top of the document, followed by a number and the "Erscheinungsdatum." What could AUFTNR. be in this context?

contract number


Explanation:
As I posted in the discussion box, this is most likely a contract followed by the concert/performance/gig date (Erscheinungsdatum). Musicians do not take 'orders' (;-)), we make contracts.

neutral  Erik Freitag: "Erscheinungsdatum" does not fit with "concert/performance/gig". It's clearly related to publishing. That doesn't make your suggestion "contract number" less likely, though.

  -> True, Erik, that is most decidedly a possibility!

neutral  Erik Freitag: Seems very unlikely. "Auftritt" is rather a layman term seldom used by professional musicians./Aha.

  -> Dear Mr Layman, Thank you for your esteemed order. Your performance will be delivered within the next few days. Signed, Professional Musician

agree  billcorno (X): When a professional musician (or any musician) make an appearance, it is an "Auftritt." https://www.google.de/?gws_rd=ssl#q=musicalischer auftritt
