If Wyeth's Repository was published in 1826, why is it called https://hymnary.org/hymnal/RSMP1820 instead of https://hymnary.org/hymnal/RSMP1826 ?

This was a DNAH hymnal. A DNAH indexer evidently indexed a version with the 1820 date. The version that was scanned for us and that we worked from was a stereotyped, enlarged, and improved edition dated 1826; so we improved on the DNAH version. We usually do not worry about the dates in hymnal ids that came to us through the DNAH migration.

Personally, I think the date in the ID should reflect the date of the edition indexed. In particular the notion that the 1854 edition of the Southern Harmony is the 1835 edition has been an ongoing irritant to me since I first noticed that what was being passed off as 1835 <i>wasn't</i>.
