Issue 3062: Jig or Reel?

New issue submitted

It is hard to be sure what to do. He may have mistyped "jig" in the heading or mistyped the recording.

As the recording name and track number are consistent with each other perhaps it is slightly more likely he intended it to be a reel?

Certainly we should add an extra info note pointing out the inconsistency.

I wonder if there is anyone in his local branch who we might ask?

By the way this is by no means the only example. Some time ago I wrote a little program to find such cases. I think I fixed a few obvious errors such as quicktime vs strathspey. In case anyone has some enthusiasm to pursue this, here is the list just from reel vs jig. The first two numbers on each line are the recording ID and the dance ID respectively.
