Issue 244: Identical to »Mr Douglas of Springwood Park«

Object: Cropie's Strathspey (Tune)
Submitter: Anselm Lingnau (anselm)
Assigned to: Anselm Lingnau
Priority: Normal
Disposition: Needs help
Description: This tune is identical to Mr Douglas of Springwood Park by Alexander Givan, and erroneously credited to Peter Milne. (»Mr Douglas …« is the original title.)

The entries for both tunes should be merged under »Mr Douglas …«, but since the tune is often used as the suggested tune for dances under the other name (including Bonnie Kate of Aberdeen in RSCDS Book 17) this would probably cause confusion. What we need is for dance-to-tune mappings to allow for tune aliases the way recording-to-tune mappings do, and I’m making this issue primarily to remind myself to implement this at some point (as well as make the actual change to the data then).

Disposition changed to »Needs help« (previously »New«)

Alexander Givan entered as deviser. “Cropie’s Strathspey” added as alias.

Will carry out the merge operation as soon as Anselm gives the green light that the “dance-to-tune” mappings have been revamped to accept aliases. So issue “needs help”.

This feature is already in place, right?

Not as of now it isn’t. I’m holding off on gratuitous schema changes until the move to the new software.
