Thanks for spotting and reporting this.

I agree the spelling of the dance and tune are both "Seton". However looking at a few online music shops or streaming websites  they all show this track as "Seaton" (eg https://music.apple.com/gb/album/all-set/427165673, https://open.spotify.com/album/7xcwcnBXCQz1GN3zvPI1Ji).

Unless they all copy mistakes from one another my guess is that the CD does actually use the spelling "Seaton". Do you have a copy of the CD yourself?

The database policy is generally to use the spelling of the original  dance book or CD even if we believe its mistaken. For some things, like dances or tunes, the database supports the concept of a "spelling alias" to provide the correct spelling as an alternative. Unfortunately this is not currently supported for recordings.

Hopefully this will be added in a new version of the database software.

But for the moment Im going to leave this one unchanged. Though I added a note for the editing team on the recording linking to this issue.
