Could I suggest that both of these dances have a note on the pronunciation for the benefit of non-Scots speakers?

This is from the Clan Home web site, the Earl of Home Chief 
(http://www.clan-home.org/history-of-the-homes.htm)

The name of Home originates from an Old English word Hôm, which in its 
dative form described a place on an hilly outcrop or height. The 
situation of Hume Castle readily explains this origin and through the 
ages it has been spelt in several different ways, appearing in documents 
over the past eight centuries in up to 8 various spellings. Always 
pronounced Hume, the barony, castle and village retained the Home 
spelling until the end of the 18th century; many families over the 
centuries have switched to the Hume version to avoid confusion of 
pronounciation for those living outwith the Borders, whilst others have 
retained the Home spelling.

There was already a pronunciation comment in the extra info for Lady Home's Jig. I have copied that to the extra info for The Earl of Home.
