The information which appears in the "General Information" section of any work-page never refers to an arrangement. The only information which belongs in the "General Information" section is that for the composer's original version of the piece. For example, if the Banchieri mass were originally for a five-part chorus and you re-did it for a four-part chorus, this would indeed be an arrangement - ditto for your added interpolations. You then should not put in "SATB" for the instrumentation in the "General Information" section unless the original version happens to also be for SATB. Likewise, if you transposed the work, a common practice done for perfectly valid practical reasons all the time, you shouldn't be putting in the key of your transposed arrangement, but that of the original. This particular mass is a bit confusing as there is a mass published in 1619 based on the same Gregorian melody - so I'm not certain if the one in the 1628 collection is the same piece, an altogether different one, or Banchieri's own arrangement of his earlier piece.
