: Actually "Myxic" comes from "Myxian", which is actually a contracted form of "Mixolydian", as used in the coinage of mode names like "Lydomyxian" and "Myxaeolian", see [[Wikipedia:Jazz scale|Wikipedia's Article on the Jazz Scale]]. The reason for this use is that "Mixolydian" is too long for use in forming other mode names, so a shortened form was created for this purpose. Given 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)

::“Myxolydic” then, not “Mixolydic” :-). Okay, maybe you have the reason. In all cases, I strongly suggest using only “Myxolydic” in the Microtonal Playground application, where it is much better to see consistent names, as they all come together. I've designed a way to represent all 49 modes in one window; you will see 7 main modes per each scale (Ionian for Ionian scale, Doric for Doric, etc.), and can dynamically switch to any other of 7 modes by Ctrl+Click, with proper changes in titles, key marks. and transposition to the new tonic. It's going to be quite playable. — [[User:SAKryukov|SA]], ''Sunday 2021 February 14, 19:22 UTC''
