A small correction or update would be appreciated:

I wrote:

At that time the commonest tuning was A-D-F#-B, with the alternative Bb-Eb-G-C. The first tuning is suitable for songs in sharp keys (G, D, A, E and so on) and the second (obtained by tuning each string one step higher) for flat keys (F, Bb, Eb, Ab and so on)[Footnote 9]. Many songs of the 1920s, 30s and 40s were published with ukulele chord symbols above the piano/vocal score.
Current Sizes and Tunings
The usual tuning now is G-C-E-A, for most sizes of ukulele

I would like to change this to say (immediately after ' which continued to rage through the 1920s, 30s and 40s.')

Sizes and Tunings

In the mid-20th Century the commonest tuning was A-D-F#-B, with the alternative Bb-Eb-G-C. The first tuning is suitable for songs in sharp keys (G, D, A, E and so on) and the second (obtained by tuning each string one step higher) for flat keys (F, Bb, Eb, Ab and so on)Band music including jazz is most often in Bb, the home key for trumpets, trombones, clarinets and saxophones.. Many songs of the 1920s, 30s and 40s were published with ukulele chord symbols above the piano/vocal score.

Currently the commonest tuning, for most sizes of ukulele, is the same as it had originally been in Hawaii: G-C-E-A

[And then follow with the footnote starting 'These notes are all ...']

I've done that. Can you check it, please, to make sure I did it right.

I changed the "Sizes and Tunings" from a subheader to a header to match all the other headings.
