  • WerW J.6 has been reclassified as spurious work and thus has been renumbered to J.S1. Accordingly, WerW J.7 has been renumbered to WerW J.6.

Fixed

  • identifiers in metadata of WerW B.46 and Q.2
  • Ensembles are now correctly sorted (soli always before coro). Moreover, the soli ensemble is renamed to solo if only a single voice participates in a movement.

  • Work details are now wider to accommodate wide tables.
