Issue 1991: Duplicate tune entry?

Jean Attwood’s dance “Seven Thistles” [ID 60112] is marked in SCDDB as having two tunes: D. Morrison’s Seven Thistles (James Scott Skinner) and Dr Morrison’s Seven Thistles (James Scott Skinner) and the SCDDB tune section has a third tune: D Morrison’s Seven Thistles (James Scott Skinner)
I am guessing that these could well be duplicate (triplicate!) entries.
Could some tune-savvy editor please check and merge/disambiguate as needed?

I do not claim to be tune-savvy, but I had a quick look at the traditional tune archive. The entry for D. Morrison's Seven Thistles says that the variant starting “Dr” is erroneous.
Accordingly I have added the “Dr Morrison” and “D Morrison” name variants as aliases to the official “D. Morrison” tune, reassigned the recordings and dances referenced from the duplicate entries to use the original “D. Morrison” tune ID #357 and then deleted the two duplicates.
