When I search for tunes in 6.6.8.6.6.6.8.6 I get four hits. When I search for tunes in 6.6.8.6.D, I get 179 hits, or maybe more. It would be nice if this were somehow cross-referenced so both would pull up the same results, since the two terms are identical in meaning.

Developers, Add a table for meter groups.   For example SM is 6696, SMD is 6698 6686, or 6686 D  or 6686D whatever….  CM CMD LM LMD, ditto without evebeven referencing some of the common number patterns.  Let the user choose (a select box) whether to include all compatible meters.
