Currently, we have the full set on one page, with a several individual ones there as well. Then we have two of them with their own pages, no.12 and an unidentified number.
Either all of this has to go on one page, or all of the separate ones on the big page need to have their own page. I can't get into Grove right now to find out if it was initially published as a set.
Ideas?

Re: Tye, Christoper - In Nomine pages
The 21 In nomine should be a collection page. With the advent of collections we can have separate pages for individual works, especially if they contain multiple arrangements and editions. That's one of the reasons for setting up the whole collections sub-category in the first place. With in massive number of files coming in from WIMA, the old system whereby all of the items had to go onto the one page for a collection (if published in the composer's lifetime) or split-up into separate pieces (if it was a collection put together later) had to be abandoned due to a fair number of pages going down in flames when the file-count got up into the 500 range. The general goal I've been following on collections pages is to (ultimately) limit them to scores and parts of the complete collection, or of selections (more than one) therefrom - whether in their original settings or in Arrangements and Transcriptions. If there are individual pieces from the collection with arrangements where there are multiple files (like the numerous viol and recorder ensemble arrangements from WIMA) a new page for the work should be set up in the composer's main category, with a reference back to the collection page.
We're getting to the point on Bach's WTC whereby we'll need to think about the possibility of using a similar planet-satellite model, if not the actual collection designation. Increasing numbers of arrangements of the individual preludes and fugues are being added. At some point, the pages will become too unwieldy - they already load slowly. There is also a trick whereby one can have a single-composer collection appear in both the 'Collections' sub-category and in the composer's main 'Compositions' category. Simply insert an [[Category:Lastname, Firstname]] at the bottom of the page in the edit window. I could see this type of thing being useful if and when WTC goes to a planet-satellite organization.
