Because note head style does not influence flag count, in
this style a semiminima should be notated as @code{a8*2}, not
@code{a4}, otherwise it will look like a minima.

Another main category of notes in Gregorian chant is the so-called
liquescent neumes. They are used under certain circumstances at

+the end of a syllable which ends in a @q{liquescent} letter, i.e.,
the sounding consonants that can hold a tone (the nasals, l, r, v,
j, and their diphthong equivalents). Thus, the liquescent neumes
are never used alone (although some of them can be produced), and
Virtually, within the ligature delimiters @code{\[} and @code{\]},
any number of heads may be accumulated to form a single ligature,
and head prefixes like @code{\pes}, @code{\flexa}, @code{\virga},
-@code{\inclinatum}, etc. may be mixed in as desired. The use of
+@code{\inclinatum}, etc., may be mixed in as desired. The use of
the set of rules that underlies the construction of the ligatures
in the above table is accordingly extrapolated. This way,
infinitely many different ligatures can be created.
