Talk:Conditor alme siderum (Jan Le Febure)

Split, or a publication page?

I'm worried that a bunch of pages named:

Devoti ac sacri per totum annum hymni 1-3 (Jan Le Febure) … Devoti ac sacri per totum annum hymni 98-100 (Jan Le Febure)

can't be searched or indexed in a meaningful way. If either split into separate titles or merged into a Music publications page there can at least be a table of contents in one place. Richard Mix (talk) 23:04, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

These specific hymns (1 to 3 of the collection) are supposed to be sung in "Dominica prima Adventus, & per totum Adventum ad Vesperas" (see the header on the score). The situation is similar for all other hymns, which are grouped according to the relevant liturgical times. The editor decided to make one edition for each group of hymns that are referred to a specific liturgical time. So, we have actually a logical structure that includes multiple levels: the whole collection, that covers several liturgical times; and each liturgical time (with an edition associated to it), which includes multiple hymns. What's the best way of managing this situation, without asking the editor to split everything differently? Overall, the editor has provided to me 82 hymns grouped into 22 liturgical times, plus 4 individual antiphonae from the same collection. Choralia (talk) 14:59, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

Thanks: taking a closer look Conditor alme siderum, Cuius forti potentiae, & Laus, honor, virtus gloria are not 3 hymns at all, but verses 1, 3 & 5 2, 4, 6 of the same hymn, which actually makes renaming the page pretty simple. Richard Mix (talk) 22:28, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

The only problem I see is deciding how to number for the publication page: the original (https://stimmbuecher.digitale-sammlungen.de//view?id=bsb00092032) does number the sections 1-3, so is the 2nd hymn n=2 or n=4? or is n=1-3 a valid parameter? Richard Mix (talk) 00:01, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
