title spelling, and why category Unknown?

1. Why does this appear listed in Category:Unknown? A musicologist friend is checking to see if she can resolve some entries listed in the category. Some other entries in Category Unknown actually have "Unknown" listed as a value in some field, I don't see an indication here. Did they mean to put Category Anonymous on the bottom instead of Category Unknown? 2. The editors spelled the title differently (and that's the spelling I've seen on other editions too). Should that be the way its listed on CPDL instead of the spelling the uploader chose? 3. The text in the Quechuan also has a space between "hanaq pachap" which is inconsistent with the editors.

Hi Vaarky,

1) this "Unknown" stands for the musical era (Classical music? Baroque music? etc.)

2) and 3) I read that Quechua spelling can vary wildly depending on the country and time it was written. The inner title was written in the traditional way, following Spanish rules, while page title seems to follow the new spelling reform of 1975. Later on I'll research a bit more on this subject.

Tx. Even if the score page doesn't need to be consistent with the title on the actual edition, should n't we add the alternate spelling(s) to the score page? --Vaarky 01:18, 29 July 2008 (PDT)
