I leave the titles alone ( :^) - but the order needs to be standardised for
browsing; I break that down into 2 separate instrumentations for the same
piece - clarinet, cello, piano and violin, cello, piano. Allowing the word
"or" or "optional" in the instrumentation makes it difficult to match "what
you've got" into "what you need".

Of course, this little rule of mine has made a few pieces end up with 20 or
more valid instrumentations ...
