I just sent cfenner a query about the possibility of getting the real SH1835 into the database soon. The current system of misleadingly calling 1854 materials 1835 really irritates me, and I know people who have lost trust in the website/database because of it. At the very least, finding some way to change the current SH1835 (which is actually the rather different 1854 edition) to SH1854 would be a big help. I remember this being discussed (and I think ruled impossible to fix) several years ago, but I've been unable to track down the thread (if in fact it was in these forums).

I guess I'll try adding it as SouH1835. cfenner said it sounded good to him, and I think it's a very important item to have in the database. This HymnalID will avoid having to redirect everything that was already in as SH1835 but at least some of which actually referred to content of SH1854.

Thank you for adding a proper accounting of Southern Harmony (1835) to differentiate it from the 1854 edition.
