Hello Anselm,
We are slowly getting there with regards to an accurate record of Mrs MacNab’s Collected Dances.
1. This first point is fundamental. You clearly and correctly state Mary Isdale MacNab is the correct spelling of Mrs MacNab’s name. You then give a short name. Please change this short name to Mrs MacNab from Mary MacNab. I am reliably informed by Rosemary Coupe of Vancouver that Mrs MacNab was never known as or styled as Mary MacNab. She was styled ONLY as 
Mary Isdale MacNab
Mary Isdale ie adopting only her maiden name
Mrs Allan MacNab
Mrs MacNab
NEVER Mary MacNab.
As you will know working on her Archive collection I know this to be correct and have corrected some erroneous references I had in the Archive referring to Mary MacNab rather than Mrs MacNab or Mary Isdale MacNab.
Getting this right is more a courtesy to her late memory and consistency than anything else.
2. The ‘Combined List of The Missing MacNabberies for Strathspey Server 210421.pdf that I sent you (and other team members) on 1 May 2021 was the complete list of dances that should appear on this page and NOT those few currently being shown. You can gain the further details of many of these dances from the London Branch Archive and to which you can give an electronic link for each where available. My Archive will substantially rectify the shortcomings in the information showing to users of Strathspey Server as it relates to Mrs MacNab.
I would be very much obliged if you could give this one final push to tie off these loose ends.
Many thanks,
Stephen

_Disposition_ changed to »Fixed« (previously »New«)  

This seems mostly acted on: her short name was removed, the Dance(s) Collected by Mrs MacNab "publication" now has all her collected dances which currently have SCDDB entries (though some of her more tentatively known dances are not yet added to the database).
