Description

Can the order of the two publications be changed so that “Vive La Danse!” is the primary reference.

I would actually prefer “The Tokyo Set” to be removed!

“The Tokyo Set” should never have been added to the database as it was a collection of dances I had put together after teaching in Tokyo so that the dances were available to all Tokyo dancers.

Because the first set was added to the database (after having been obtained by someone in some way - possibly even from me), I did not produce a combined collection after my next trip to Tokyo, but sent only the dances I taught at each class.

Hello Iain. I have updated the “priority” value of all the dances in the Tokyo set to a higher value (40) so it should appear later in the list of publications for each dance it contains. However I noticed that although the default priority value is 30, all the dances in The Tokyo Set had been set to priority 10. I presume that was done deliberately at the time perhaps by someone thinking it was the primary source. Unless the default priority in the software has been changed (by Anselm) since the publication was entered (apparently by Meinhard Reiser in 2015).

Although many of the dances in The Tokyo Set also appear in other publications, at least a couple are only in that publication as far as SCDDB knows (examples are The Way Out of the Woods and Here and There and Everywhere).

Also if this did exist as a publication of some kind which people may still have I think SCDDB should keep a record of that so I am not keen to just delete it. However I added a note that its not considered the primary source of most of the dances it contains. I hope thats OK for you.

For Raising the Anchor I see that Keith Rose in his diagram quotes The Tokyo Set as the source so its possible that he may just have that publication. Cheers, Murorugh.
