Not sure if you looked at my final list but I proposed changing it to "Rondo Alla Turca" Sonata No.11 K331 Mvt.3. As you can see the common name is right there, so there will be no confusion.

The only ones that are changing dramatically are Turkish March (to Marcia Alla Turca, which I think is not too bad), Etude in E Major to "Tristesse" Etude, and Molto Vivace, which I've already explained is just a horrible mis-naming to begin with. Everything else has the name by which FFR is used to calling it, PLUS the correct information.

There are no usernames as performers atm. Only Xandertrax once, credited as an arranger because the version of Mephisto Waltz No.1 in FFR is not the same as Liszt's original, i.e. Xandertrax arranged it.
I suppose we could take Xandertrax out of the performer attribution entirely and label it as -Shortened-, not entirely sure why subin went with this method but it was still technically correct so I went with it.

The length of the text field on the legacy engine is definitely a valid issue. Not sure what we would do about this, as it's caused other songs to be mis-labeled as well (Of course you need... need me is labeled wrong, the true name of that song is stupidly long lol)
I'd argue that we should change the names AND find a way to make more space on the engine, but maybe that's not possible. I'd love if someone more admin-ish could weigh in on this, *wink wink*
