"Cream of tartar (tartaric acid, if I remember correctly)" So far as I can see, Cream Of Tartar (apparently potassium bitartrate) is a salt of tartaric acid, not the same thing. I've not used Cream of Tartar in any recipe (at least not directly, it can be part of baking powder) but did use tartaric acid in my childhood attempts to make acid drops... Both appear to have several uses and my be interchangeable for some things but I've found information on the web a bit confusing...
