What an interesting article. No mention of the theory that Renaudie was deprecated as a libertine as well as an outlaw in France - possibly hence "brought up in Venus train" (which come render "trail" although I prefer "train" "Venus Trail" being as I understand it being a then current euphemism for satyriasis.

Actually, I was referring to the assertion that mixolydian and the other standard modes have distinct characteristics when (if normalised to "C") they are all tunes in C that simply mostly use notes other than the root as the home.
