It's not always the case but mostly, tunes that have come down the years carry the same names as the dances that they were played for.

A well know tune like The Devil Among the Tailors (or [[The Devil Among the Taylors]] - spelling was often idiosyncratic) is so called because it was the music to the dance of the same name published by [[John Preston and Sons]] probably in 1792.

This gives a problem when naming new pages in Folkopedia as a tune and a dance will compete for the same name.

Rather than getting into ''disambiguation pages'' as seen on Wikipedia, we prefer to differentiate within the page name.

So we use ''The Devil Among the Tailors-dance'' and ''The Devil Among the Tailors-tune''.

That leaves us with the problems of:

''The Devil Among the Taylors''

''The Devil Amongst the Tailors''

''Devil Among the Tailors''

''De'il Amangst the Tailors''

etc.

In this case, we'll try and get a reference page identified which can be linked to by each title.

Eg.
''De'il Amangst the Tailors'' see ''[[The Devil Amongst the Tailors]]''.

It doesn't matter which is the reference page as long as there is only one and it carries all the useful information in the one place.

A similar policy is applied to dances. See [[Policy for dance pages]]
