I like 5 & 1, but perhaps Orgelbüchlein should be included. With 3 &
4, don't we lose the ability to search for, say BWV 601? To me 2)
looks like OB has no. 599 (not just this particular choral). Maybe
this is possible too:
6) Das Orgel-Büchlein: "Nun komm der Heiden Heiland", BWV 599

IMO we shouldn't use mvt numbers here - it's not a suite or some work
organized in movements (& IIRC there's only 1 work per cat. no)

& since we're on the subject :) what to do with the so-called
"Leipzig" & "Schübler"-chorales & similar "common-name-collections"?
