There are still some songs which are different but haven't been separated.Composer:
- Considering the relative reliability of the sources of information, it is difficult to differentiate the true composer from the simple arrangers of existing song. There is also a confusion between the lyric writer and music composer. The term of composer will have to be interpreted here with precaution although overall significant.
- When the sources of information are divergent, the names will appear in green color. That means that it is not yet possible to know who is the true composer ... maybe one of them :). Example:
| Title | Composer | Style | Scale | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cikapundung | Kosaman Djaya, Nana Ipis | Degung-Kawih | Pelog |
