This is a discussion about 先だって

Main reading should be さきだって, not せんだって

Most Japanese sources state that 先立って should mainly be read as さきだって and not せんだって:

And they usually warn readers to NOT read it as せんだって:

「先だって」（先立って）の読み方は「さきだって」です。メールなどの書き言葉でも多く使われますが、話し言葉としても使われる言葉であるため、「せんだって」と読み間違えないよう注意してください。

You can submit these changes / references to JMdictDB. Here on the forums the chance is very low that any of the editors will pick this up

This entry in JMdict has been split into two: 先だって/せんだって and 先立って/さきだって. That should clear up any confusion.
