Revisions
After publication of the printed index in 1998, new sources continued to be discovered, and mistakes were point out. It is hoped to update the database every few years.
2001 Revision
The database was thoroughly revised in 2001 and corrected for this query program. For names of those who helped with this revision see Acknowledgements.
NEWLY INDEXED TUNES added in 2001 are numbered 18001–18330. Unlike the original tunes (1–17424) they are not in chronological order, but any tune query that asks for a chronological sorting of tunes places the newly indexed tunes in their correct place. New relationships were found between tunes previously thought independent: this required renumbering some tunes as derivatives of others.
The following NEWLY DISCOVERED SOURCES were added and indexed:

2006 Revision
