Thread Name: Alternative titles cross reference
Subject: Alternative titles cross reference
A frequent cause of requests for lyrics which are already present appears to be the variety of title for many traditional songs. Some examples include Musgrave (Little Mousgrove, and the Lady Barnet, Matty/Mattie Groves, A lamentable ballad of Little Musgrove, and the lady Barnet, etc), Cluster of Nuts (The Comical Wager, Jack and his nuts) Six jovial tradesmen or Joan's ale is new, Jones's ale, Joan's ale was new, Johns ale Is there any way in which a cross-reference could be set up, preferably so that new variants could be added as found? Looks like the only way at present is to add the whole song again (Or am I missing something)
