Nice! I was hoping for the recording though :). Actually sorry, after 
some googling I found, that "Lieblich Gedact" was not a typo for 
"Lieblich Gedacht" (which one could translate to "lovely thought of" 
denken->gedacht - could have fitted in some song, I was not aware that 
you were talking about registers) but for
"Lieblich Gedac(k)t" which is derived from gedeckt and stands for a pipe 
which is closed at the top and therefore an octave or quint lower than a 
pipe of the same lenth wich is open. And that is spelled with hard "k".
So you control "lovely closed pipes" with it.
