Richard Carlin's 'The Gow Collection of Scottish Dance Music' is missing all tunes of the 2nd and 6th books of Strathspey Reels, and the 1st book of the Complete Repository. There are at least 3 tunes missing from the 1st book of Strathspey Reels, and 9 from the 4th book. That's as far as I've looked.
