alternate tune names
I recently search the Hymnary for the tune "Sacred Throne", and the link in the search results took me to the page for "Martyrdom". I was briefly confused until I remembered that the tune was known by these two names. I did not know that the tune has also been dubbed "Avon", which prompted me to look for a list of names for the tune, but I could find no such list on the Tune Authority page; indeed, the page does not contain the phrase "sacred throne". Clearly the database knows about the alternate names, so why can't the tune page list them? I would find this very useful.

For now, you can use something like Google with "site:hymnary.org" We will look into adding a search feature in January.
