Issue 3207: tune not published with the dance

Description

The Dunnington Collection Vol. 1 (I could easily send you a scan of the relevant page) suggests the tune “The Thormanby Strathspey” for this dance, saying that it is published in “The Bruce Collection, page 39”, but the dance book does not include the music,.

I’m not sure what the “Published in” field on a tune page is meant to convey, but a person viewing the current database record might conclude that they could find the tune in the Dunnington Collection Vol. 1, rather than just a reference to it.

Thanks. The database team has scans of the dances in The Dunnington Collection but those might be incomplete. Anyway I have removed The Thormanby Strathspey from the publication and added notes both to the tune and publication. The tune is not included in the SCDDB record for The Bruce Collection (https://my.strathspey.org/dd/publication/800/) but the alphabetic list of tunes ends just before one might expect Thormanby so perhaps that list is incomplete. The database team does not have the tune collections so cannot check this.

I checked my copy of The Bruce Collection and indeed it has The Thormanby Strathspey on page 39, as claimed. I’ll check the Bruce Collection entry in the database and add any missing tunes.

The record for the Bruce Collection is now up to date. I removed a few tunes which are obviously not in the book but in volume 2 of the Bruce Collection instead (the two look very similar from the outside so perhaps they were confused at some point in the past).
