Dawson, I think the mode naming for the Mixolydian scale needs to be fixed: the adjective “Myxic” should be replaced with “Myxolydic”. This way, this adjective will be consistent with your naming schema, in particular, with “Lydic”. — [[User:SAKryukov|SA]], ''Sunday 2021 February 14, 17:49 UTC''

: Actually "Myxic" comes from "Myx-", which is actually a contracted combining form of "Mixolydian", as used in mode names like "Lydomyxian" and "Myxaeolian", see [[Wikipedia:Jazz scale|Wikipedia's Article on the Jazz Scale]]. The reason for this use is that "Mixolydic" is too long for use in forming other mode names, so a shortened form was created for this purpose. Given that, this etymology, we can assume that "Myxic" and "Mixolydic" are perfect synonyms. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 18:31, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
