Text-tune pairing count off by one

Tue, 10/17/2023 - 20:29 — Haruo

I make a lot of use of the "All texts used with [tune]" and "All tunes used with [text]" search features, wouldn't surprise me if I'm your best customer on that particular point, and one thing that never ceases to make me wonder (uselessly, I imagine) is why the "New Search Page" so frequently shows one more instance of a pairing than the "Old Search Page" does. It isn't usually a really important deal, except for the amount of sleep I lose worrying about it. If you (Dianne or anybody) can explain to me why this happens so much (yet not always) it'll add hours to my productive lifespan. Here, if I can post the comparison of screen shots, is what I'm talking about

And while we're at it

What on earth is a hymn with the first line "Aidan and Oswald, King, Finan and Colman too" about?

Aidan and Oswald

We do not have the lyrics to "Aidan and Oswald..." but it is in the "Celtic Hymn Book" published by Kevin Mayhew in 2005. You added the hymnal and the hymn, so maybe you have a copy?

Yeah, you're right

I know I added the book, and have it somewhere, but where I don't know at the moment. When it surfaces, I'll try to remember to look and see. My collection of 700+ hymnals has been in some degree of chaos, particularly since my wife's death. I'm working on it, but setting them back in order of necessity hasn't been at the top of my list.
