I'll defer to you on the best names for the categories. ''Tonus'' is clearly better than ''modus.'' I do think it is useful to have the fuller modal name in parentheses afterwards {{CC|Works in mode 1 (Dorian)}} or {{CC|I toni (Dorian)}}. Actually the Latin numbers standing alone don't make for good category names, IMHO. --[[User:StJohnsAnnapolis|StJohnsAnnapolis]] ([[User talk:StJohnsAnnapolis|talk]]) 20:08, 22 March 2019 (UTC) | :I'll defer to you on the best names for the categories.

Renaming subcategories
This is a great idea; particularly for matching Magnificat antiphons with Magnificats. I think the category names though had better be as simple as practical, either English: Works in mode 8 or Latin: Viii . Richard Mix (talk) 01:35, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
- I'll defer to you on the best names for the categories. Tonus is clearly better than modus. I do think it is useful to have the fuller modal name in parentheses afterwards Works in mode 1 (Dorian) or I toni (Dorian). Actually the Latin numbers standing alone don't make for good category names, IMHO. --StJohnsAnnapolis (talk) 20:08, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
- I don't like the parentheses because categories don't redirect and it's more redundant stuff to remember when adding or even searching for the category: for a cautionary example try guessing which of these will be blue: LM, 88 88, 88.88, 88. 88, 88. 88 (long meter), 88. 88 (Long metre), 88. 88 (Long meter), 88. 88 (long metre), 88. 88 (LM), 88. 88 (L. M.), 88 88 (long meter), 88 88 (Long metre) … … … … (the winner, without the space). Richard Mix (talk) 21:42, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
