Asperges me (Anonymous) disambiguation

Hi Jason,

Always a pleasure to spot another of your new editions! Asperges me (Anonymous) (not to be confused with Asperges me Domine (Anonymous)) is apparently the 2nd setting in Gyffard. I'd be very interested to know what you think of titling anonymous pieces; the Anon. composer page is really getting out of control. One solution I've seen is O salutaris Hostia (Gyffard) (Anonymous) though [[Title (Anonymous, source)]] avoids double parentheses. All the best, Richard Mix (talk) 00:10, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi Richard,

I really haven't got the hang of how this ChoralWiki works, so I hope you see this. I screwed up the upload of "Asperges me" and I messaged Carlos to ask him to alter the title to "Asperges me (Gyffard Partbooks, 2nd setting)", but I can't relocate my message. Yes, the Anonymous section is getting very unwieldy. I am not really qualified to comment, but it occurs to me that people querying the anonymous section will likely have specific parameters in mind. I haven't really thought about it before, but offhand it seems to me that what is required is for the "Anonymous" composer link to lead to a hierarchy of sub-pages where one can "drill down" further via (1) sacred/secular, (2) period and (3) nationality. But ideally one would want to query any of these three in any order of priority, e.g. I might be looking for anonymous, secular French music from the Baroque era, or, alternatively, anonymous French music from the Renaissance that's sacred. Rather you than me!

Jason
