Shouldn't the authority for the Hedge translation of "Ein' feste Burg" be a little more specific than just "a_mighty_fortress_is_our_god"? I think it should probably be "a_mighty_fortress_is_our_god_a_bulwark". There are three other text authorities that begin "a_mighty_fortress_is_our_god", and it seems to me that by leaving the Hedge text undifferentiated we run the risk that other text variants (or even completely different hymns) that start with that phrase will get misfiled under "a_mighty_fortress_is_our_god", and only the "trusty" variant and the Marshall translation and the Westendorf additions will be filed correctly.

Done.

Seems to me that on similar grounds "hosanna_to_the_living_lord" should be changed to "hosanna_to_the_living_lord_hosanna"...
