3 March 2024
- 03:4103:41, 3 March 2024 diff hist +160 La La Lucille →Production: Update to my preceding edit: I added a citation for the scoring (full disclosure: it is a recently updated version of my own blog post). I also clarified the position of the researcher who made the discovery.
- 03:2603:26, 3 March 2024 diff hist +10 La La Lucille →Production: I swapped out the link for the Gershwin Initiative Blog with the specific link to Jacob Kerzner's post.

- 00:1400:14, 3 March 2024 diff hist −5 Fred Thompson (writer) →Early career: Made correction: The Five O'Clock Girl is not a Gershwin musical.
24 February 2024
- 03:0103:01, 24 February 2024 diff hist −6 m La La Lucille →Plot overview: Removed vestigial word missed in my last edit.
- 02:5802:58, 24 February 2024 diff hist +15 La La Lucille →Production: It was the film and not the production that made its way to Canada (as my colleague who rediscovered the thought-lost parts figured out).

- 02:5602:56, 24 February 2024 diff hist −29 La La Lucille →Plot overview: I corrected the wife's name and profession. While there is a joke about a large number of persons registered at the hotel under the name John Smith, that is the real name of the character (this is part of the joke).

- 18:4218:42, 5 October 2022 diff hist +7 An American in Paris →Instrumentation: Corrected A4 to A3 for pitch of fourth taxi horn; moved citation of Mark Clague's blog post end of the sentence and removed the "citation needed," since that post covers it. Also added author name for the blog post citation and reformatted author name for NYT article. Added link to soprano saxophone page.
- 18:2818:28, 5 October 2022 diff hist +517 An American in Paris →Instrumentation: I deleted the erroneous, and frankly inexplicable, assertion that there was a contrabassoon part in the original and modified the sentence about FCW's simplification of the saxophones. I also responded to the "citation needed" for the (deplorable) simplification of the saxophones.
- 18:0618:06, 5 October 2022 diff hist −158 An American in Paris →Preservation status: I have deleted the part about the contrabassoon. George Gershwin's staff paper has printed staff labels, but there is nothing in the contrabassoon staff, I can vouch having looked at photographs of the source document.

- 04:3804:38, 8 September 2022 diff hist +12 m Carl Orff →After World War II: Tweaked wording to clarify that all three Greek tragedies have four harps (it sounded like it could be just Oedipus der Tyrann and Prometheus desmotes — my previous slip).
