For ancient notation, a note head style other than the
@code{default} style may be chosen. This is accomplished by setting
the @code{style} property of the @code{NoteHead} object to
-@code{baroque}, @code{neomensural}, @code{mensural} or
-@code{petrucci}.
+@code{baroque}, @code{neomensural}, @code{mensural},
+@code{petrucci}, @code{blackpetrucci} or @code{semipetrucci}.
The @code{baroque} style differs from the @code{default} style by:

+The @code{blackpetrucci} style produces note heads usable in black
+mensural notation or coloratio sections in white mensural notation.
+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.
+The multiplyer can be different if coloratio is used e.g. to notate
+triplets.
+
+Use @code{semipetrucci} style to draw half-colored
+note heads (breves, longas and maximas).

The following example demonstrates the @code{petrucci} style:

+The glyph for the maxima rest in mensural style is actually a perfect
+longa rest; use two (or three) longa rests to print a maxima rest.
+Longa rests are not grouped automatically, so have to be done manually by

@node Mensural accidentals and key signatures
@unnumberedsubsubsec Mensural accidentals and key signatures
This is not only required for correct MIDI output, but also allows for
automatic transcription of the ligatures.
+At certain places two consecutive notes can be represented either as
+two squares or as an oblique parallelogram (flexa shape). In such
+cases the default is the two squares, but a flexa can be required by
+setting the @code{ligature-flexa} property of the @emph{second} note
+head. The length of a flexa can be set by the note head property
+@code{flexa-width}.
+
For example,
@c @example
\transpose c c' {
\set Score.timing = ##f
\set Score.defaultBarType = "empty"
- \override NoteHead #'style = #'neomensural
- \override Staff.TimeSignature #'style = #'neomensural
+ \override NoteHead #'style = #'petrucci
+ \override Staff.TimeSignature #'style = #'mensural
\clef "petrucci-g"
\[ c'\maxima g \]
- \[ d\longa c\breve f e d \]
+ \[ d\longa
+ \override NoteHead #'ligature-flexa = ##t
+ \once \override NoteHead #'flexa-width = #3.2
+ c\breve f e d \]
\[ c'\maxima d'\longa \]
\[ e'1 a g\breve \]
}
\transpose c c' {
\set Score.timing = ##f
\set Score.defaultBarType = "empty"
- \override NoteHead #'style = #'neomensural
- \override Staff.TimeSignature #'style = #'neomensural
+ \override NoteHead #'style = #'petrucci
