Issue 3255: "Extra Info" comment for Pinewoods Reel

Description

The Extra Info tab for Pinewoods Reel asserts that, for the second video, “it is not performed as written.”, but it’s not very specific about what the problem is. And there doesn’t really seem to be any problem with the second video.

I think maybe the ordinal numbers of the videos in the Videos list change over time since new videos are periodically added, and they seem to be kept in order of quality. So I suspect the video being referred to is now seventh on the list, and already has an annotation noting it’s not performed as written.

So, it’s probably best not to put annotations like this in the Extra Info section where they may be overcome by events.

Thanks very much for your help, and let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks. Actually the videos do keep the same number. If you look at https://my.strathspey.org/dd/dancevideo/1313/ it does say Video 2 at the top. They are shown in quality and date order but the video number is just a sequence for videos of that dance.

However I agree comments should ideally be more specific and added to the video rather than the dance comments. Probably whoever wrote the original comments just felt there were too many differences to be worth enumerating. Anyway I have made more specific comments on that video and removed the dance extra info referring to it.
