Currently the number of examples provided for each of the SRKW calls varies a lot: from
2 S08s and S14s and S42s
to
13 S19s
In the long run, it might be nice to aim for a consistent number across all signal types for a catalogued repertoire. For example, if there were 4 "ideal" examples of each type, then a future UI could offer them in a 4-column grid, so that one's eye could more quickly scan down the grid for the next call type or a specific call type of interest...

Thanks for the suggestion. Some call categories are far more variable than others, hence the need for some call types to have multiple examples to fully illustrate the range of variability. Simple call types like S05 and S04 don't need more than two or three. I agree that 13 examples for S19 is excessive however -- I'll delete some that are redundant. And I'll try to find a couple more S08ii!
I'll defer to @git-steb about how realistic this is to implement, but a possible alternative to deleting them, John, might be to ask for the catalogue software to set the maximum number of examples to display per call type. It could default to some number that you specify -- e.g. 5 or 8 -- so that the variability of calls like S19 is captured adequately.
However, if the UI allowed a user could change the threshold, perhaps they'd decide to decrease it in order to view only the "top 3" examples. This could work especially well if the example audio files were ordered in the audio repository from most commonly heard to most rarely heard.
Or maybe the user would like a really simplified catalogue with only a single example of the most common variation of a call. This might look closer to what Val and his Colorado College students implemented in the first online version of your SRKW catalog we shared with the Orcasound listening community ~20 years ago:
Alternatively, a different user might be trying to match a tricky/rare version of a single call. In that use case, they might want to increase the threshold to display and compare 10s or even (someday) 100s of examples of a single call type. This might eventually result in a really dense grid of examples, akin to the Google Experiment that visualizes a wide range of sounds from bird song:
In any case, don't delete those files! Every hard-won decision you've made about placing a call within one of your types is valuable, IMHO. Even if it's not used in the catalog, I'm sure there will be data scientists eager to use it as a labeled signal.
