Six-fold or nine-fold Kyrie.. and has anyone heard seven-fold?

    Obviously in the EF communities, it's always nine-fold.

    But in the OF, how common is it to hear a nine-fold Kyrie like Missa IX or VI?
    And has anyone heard of a Kyrie from Orbis or de Angelis done seven-fold (repeating first three twice, then the final one.)
    Also, for those who have heard six-fold, do you normally hear them do the final/fourth Kyrie, or do they just repeat the third one?

    This isn't meant to start a debate, more like a survey. The missal allows all these numbers.

    Believe it or not, we did a 9 fold for All Saints and will again for Christ the King, albeit only at the choir mass.

    And whenever it's just a 6 fold for us, but the setting we are using includes a jubilus, I use it.
