1Are you talking about a physical folder or a collection of your work?– deutschZuidCommented Jan 19, 2013 at 23:03

1@JamesJiao question needs to be answered to better understand your question, then I would ask if the "sheet music portfolio" is in contrast to another type of music portfolio.– Kristina LopezCommented Jan 20, 2013 at 0:08

Is there a specific name for a portfolio of drawings, photographs, etc.? I think probably the short answer in every case is "No".– FumbleFingersCommented Jan 20, 2013 at 1:06

2I know what the OP means. It is a type of briefcase used by music teachers and the like, but I know of no specific name for it. I haven't seen one for a very long time, but I do remember that they had a metal bar of some kind to secure them shut.– Barrie EnglandCommented Jan 20, 2013 at 13:54

Not to my knowledge. I've had several conductors, all of which referred to them differently—the most common being folder.
Do you mean these, leather bags with a simple bar closure:
If so I think they are simply called music bags or music cases.
