Some tunes, such track 5, the second tune in 6 and the last track should be followed by the word hornpipe (which is being blocked out for some reason).
Words like "hornpipe", "jig", or "reel", while often included in tune names are excluded here once the tune is actually listed. Guess it just simplifies things.
I don't necessarily disagree with you. That's just how it is. I think it's done that way because lots of people would post recordings and put the type of tune (i.e. "reel") after the name of each tune. In those cases knowing that it's a reel typically is not necessary and causes problems for linking to the actual tune. For a tune like "Maid Behind the Bar", whoever actually posted that tune into the database would have called the tune "Maid Behind the Bar". If a person posted a recording and decided to list the tune as "Maid Behind the Bar (reel)", then the link from the recording listing to the tune wouldn't work. I think there are obviously exceptions to the rule (like in your case it seems), but more often than not I think it is easier for the database's sake to not have the tune type along with the tune name. Hope that makes sense.
Hornpipes...

That is quite ridiculous when a tune is named "A Hornpipe" or "Welch Hornpipe"...
