lenses

I primarily listen to classical music on my laptop. Since I'm obsessed with specifics with my music, I am precise with how I label my genres (Opera, Symphony, Chorale, etc.).

Is there a way to edit the Music Lens so that instead of listing "Blues, Classic, Country..." it could list custom parameters?

Could the same be done for the "Decade" parameter? Maybe make it "Century", since I have music from back in the 1400's :)
