Did you mean that the first setting of "Pro dolorosa" is to be used throughout the odd decades and the second setting is to be used throughout the even decades? In that case I'd expect *decadum par(i)um rather than decadis pares. There's a recording that uses the second setting for the _last_ bead in _each_ decade. Is that what you meant instead?
