Thanks for the suggestion and for taking the trouble to submit it.

However the usual database policy - as I understand it - is that if a dance has a recommended tune (as opposed to recording) we would leave people to follow the link to the tune entry. Then they can find all the available recordings using that tune and use any one they have - as you propose to do for your event.

We normally only link a dance to a recording if the dance instructions explicitly mention that recording or if a CD is produced with a named recording for that dance. The Berkhamsted recording of The Black Bear is linked to Ian Galbraith's dance because it was recorded on that CD for that dance in their book.

As there are over 30 recordings featuring the popular Black Bear tune it is impractical to explicitly link them all. And it would be hugely more work if that was extended to linking all dances and their possible recordings. With the present system the "Recordings" tab just shows recordings the dance deviser or musicians have proposed.

So I propose to leave things as they are in this case.
