MANOAH ≠ MAITLAND

Why is the score showing at Firm as the earth thy gospel stands MAITLAND when the tune is MANOAH; and why is this MANOAH called manoah_greatorex when it looks to me like most instances say it is "arranged from Gio(a)cchino A. Rossini, 1851" and some say Franz Haydn dunnit...?

Thanks for pointing this out. The PDF for MAITLAND was mistakenly attached to "Firm as the earth thy gospel stands" in "Cyber Hymnal."

As for Greatorex qualifying MANOAH, it is because there is a lot of disagreement about the composer and because most of newer hymnals do not attribute the tune to either Rossini or Haydn, but simply have the source as Greatorex's collection.
