Title

[edit]

I think the name of this page should be changed to "Alypius of Alexandria", since there is no evidence that Alypius was a writer of music. This would match the other pages about Alypius of Antioch, Alypius of Byzantium, Alypius of Thagaste, etc. Alternatively, it could be "Alypius (writer on music)". But the first is better.

I concur. "Music writer" is an odd locution, to start with. In my experience, it is a typewriter adapted to music symbols by Cecil Effinger or, spelled as MusicWriter, to a company marketing MIDI-based notation software. Secondarily, this links to a disambiguation page on Wikipedia where neither of these is mentioned, but offers five different meanings, only one of which applies to this particular Alypius.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 22:32, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I have boldly changed the title, since this does not seem to be controversial. If anyone disagrees, I am sure they will not hesitate to say so.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 22:43, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
