+
+[Italian: @q{on the breve}] Twice as fast as the notation indicates.
+
+Also called @notation{in cut time}. The name derives from mensural
+notation, where the @notation{tactus} (or beat) is counted on the semibreve
+(the modern whole note). Counting @q{on the breve} shifts the tactus to the
+next longest note value, which (in modern usage) effectively halves all note
+values.
+
+In mensural notation, breves and semibreves can have a ternary relationship,
+in which case @notation{alla breve} means thrice (not twice) as fast. In
+practice, this complication may not have mattered, since Gaffurius's system
+of multiplex proportions makes it easy to explicitly state which proportion
+is needed.

+
+A @emph{cluster} is a range of simultaneously sounding pitches that
+may change over time. The set of available pitches to apply usually
+depends on the acoustic source. Thus, in piano music, a cluster
+typically consists of a continuous range of the semitones as provided
+by the piano's fixed set of a chromatic scale. In choral music, each
+singer of the choir typically may sing an arbitrary pitch within the
+cluster's range that is not bound to any diatonic, chromatic or other
+scale. In electronic music, a cluster (theoretically) may even cover
+a continuous range of pitches, thus resulting in colored noise, such
+as pink noise.
+
+Clusters can be denoted in the context of ordinary staff notation by
+engraving simple geometrical shapes that replace ordinary notation of
+notes. Ordinary notes as musical events specify starting time and
+duration of pitches; however, the duration of a note is expressed by
+the shape of the note head rather than by the horizontal graphical
+extent of the note symbol. In contrast, the shape of a cluster
+geometrically describes the development of a range of pitches
+(vertical extent) over time (horizontal extent). Still, the
+geometrical shape of a cluster covers the area in which any single
+pitch contained in the cluster would be notated as an ordinary note.

+@item The chord thus represented should be held above a moving bass line, when
+applied to more than one figure.
+@item These uses were not completely standardized, and some composers used a
+single extender line to indicate the latter case.
+
+@end itemize
+
+@item
+In string music to indicate that all notes in the passage thus indicated should
+be played on the same string. On the violin, for example, a series of notes to
+be played on the G string would be indicated @notation{sul G}, another series to be
+played on the D string would be indicated @notation{sul D}, and so on.

+The general class of pitches produced by sounding the second or higher

+
+On stringed instruments, these pitches sound rather flute-like; hence,
+their name in languages other than English. They are produced by
+lightly touching the string at a node for the desired mode of vibration
+while it is being bowed or plucked.
+
+For instruments of the violin family, there are two types of harmonics:

+of a hymn's verse. Different hymnals have different ways of noting the hymn
+meter: for example, consider a hymn that has four lines in two couplets
+alternating regularly between eight and seven syllables. The @emph{English

+87.87D. The traditional names above also have doubled versions:

+When a chord sounds with a bass note that differs from the root of the
+chord, it is said to be @emph{inverted}. The number of inversions that a
+chord can have is one fewer than the number of constituent notes. For
+example, triads (which have three constituent notes) can have three
+positions, two of which are inversions:
+
+@table @dfn
+@item Root position
+The root note is in the bass, and above that are the third and the fifth. A
+triad built on the first scale degree, for example, is marked @notation{I}.
+
+@item First inversion
+The third is in the bass, and above it are the fifth and the root. This
+creates an interval of a sixth and a third above the bass note, and so is
+marked in figured Roman notation as @notation{6/3}. This is commonly
+abbreviated to @notation{I6} (or @notation{Ib}) since the sixth is the
+characteristic interval of the inversion, and so always implies
+@notation{6/3}.
+
+@item Second inversion
+The fifth is in the bass, and above it are the root and the third. This
+creates an interval of a sixth and a fourth above the bass note, and so is
+marked as @notation{I6/4} or @notation{Ic}. Second inversion is the most

+
+A system of duration notation whose principles were first established in the
+mid-13th century, and that (with various changes) remained in use until about
+1600. As such, it is the basis for the notation of rhythms in Western musical
+notation.
+
+Franco of Cologne (ca. 1250) is credited with the first systematic explanation
+of the notation's principles, so the notation of this earliest period is called
+@q{Franconian}. Franco's system made use of three note values -- long, breve,
+and semibreve -- each of which was normally equivalent to three of the next
+lower note value.
+
+Then, in the first half of the 14th century, Philippe de Vitry and Jehan de Murs
+added several note values (the minim, semiminim and fusa) and extended Franco's
+principles to govern the relationship between these values. They also put the
+duple division of note values on an equal footing with the earlier (preferred)
+triple division.

+
+The ancestor of the time signature, mensuration signs were used to indicate the
+relationship between two sets of note durations—specifically, the ratio of
+breves to semibreves (called @notation{tempus}), and of semibreves to minims
+(called @notation{prolatio}).
+
+Each ratio was represented with a single single sign, and was either
+three-to-one (ternary) or two-to-one (binary), as in modern music notation.
+Unlike modern music notation, the @emph{ternary} ratio was the preferred
+one—applied to the @emph{tempus}, it was called @emph{perfect}, and was
+represented by a complete circle; applied to the @emph{prolatio}, it was called
+@emph{major} and was represented by a dot in the middle of the sign. The binary
+ratio applied to the @emph{tempus} was called @emph{imperfect}, and was
+represented by an incomplete circle; applied to @emph{prolatio}, it was called
+@emph{minor} and was represented by the lack of an internal dot. There are four
+possible combinations, which can be represented in modern time signatures with
+and without reduction of note values. (These signs are hard-coded in LilyPond
+with reduction.)
+
+@table @dfn
+@item perfect @emph{tempus} with major @emph{prolatio}
+Indicated by a complete circle with an internal dot. In modern time signatures,
+this equals:
+@itemize
+@item 9/4, with reduction or
+@item 9/2, without reduction
+@end itemize
+
+@item perfect @emph{tempus} and minor @emph{prolatio}
+Indicated by a complete circle without an internal dot. In modern time
+signatures, this equals:
+@itemize
+@item 3/2, with reduction or
+@item 3/1, without reduction
+@end itemize
+
+@item imperfect @emph{tempus} and major @emph{prolatio}
+Indicated by an incomplete circle with an internal dot. In modern time
+signatures, this equals:
+@itemize
+@item 6/4, with reduction or
+@item 6/2, without reduction
+@end itemize
+
+@item imperfect @emph{tempus} and minor @emph{prolatio}
+Indicated by an incomplete circle without an internal dot. In modern time
+signatures, this equals:
+@itemize
+@item 4/4, with reduction or
+@item 2/1, without reduction
+@end itemize
+@end table
+
+The last mensuration sign @emph{looks} like common-time because it @emph{is},
+with note values reduced from the original semibreve to a modern quarter note.
+Being doubly imperfect, this sign represented the (theoretically)
+least-preferred mensuration, but it was actually used fairly often.
+
+This system extended to the ratio of longer note values to each other:
+
+@itemize
+
+ @item maxima to longa, called:
+
+ @itemize
+
+ @item @notation{modus maximorum},
+ @item @notation{modus major}, or
+ @item @notation{maximodus})
+
+ @end itemize
+
+ @item longa to breve, called:
+
+ @itemize
+
+ @item @notation{modus longarum},
+ @item @notation{modus minor}, or
+ @item @notation{modus}
+
+ @end itemize
+
+@end itemize
+
+In the absence of any other indication, these modes were assumed to be
+binary. The mensuration signs only indicated tempus and prolatio, so
+composers needed another way to indicate these longer ratios (called modes.
+Around the middle of the 15th century started to use groups of rests at the
+beginning of the staff, preceding the mensuration sign.
+
+
+Two mensuration signs have survived to the present day: the C-shaped sign,
+which originally designated @notation{tempus imperfectum} and
+@notation{prolatio minor} now stands for @notation{common time}; and the
+slashed C, which designated the same with @notation{diminution} now stands
+for @notation{cut time} (essentially, it has not lost its original meaning).

+The pattern of note values and accents in a composition or a section thereof.
+There are a couple ways to classify @q{traditional} meter (i.e. not polymeter):

+
+Other than triple meter and its subdivided variants (see below), meters that

+beat on each quarter note is conventionally written with a time signature of
+3/4. Here are some combinations of the two classifications above:

+
+[Latin: @emph{proportio}] Described in great detail by Gaffurius, in
+@emph{Practica musicae} (published in Milan in 1496). In mensural notation,
+proportion is:
+
+@enumerate
+
+@item A ratio that expresses the relationship between the note values that
+follow with those that precede;
+
+@item A ratio between the note values of a passage and the @q{normal}
+relationship of note values to the metrical pulse. (A special case of the
+first definition.)
+
+@end enumerate
+
+The most common proportions are:
+
+@itemize
+@item 2:1 (or simply 2), expressed by a vertical line through the
+mensuration sign (the origin of the @notation{alla breve} time signature),
+or by turning the sign backwards
+@item 3:1 (or simply 3)
+@item 3:2 (@emph{sesquialtera})
+@end itemize
+
+To @q{cancel} any of these, the inverse proportion is applied. Thus:
+
+@itemize
+@item 1:2 cancels 2:1
+@item 1:3 cancels 3:1
+@item 2:3 cancels 3:2
+@item and so on.
+@end itemize
+
+Gaffurius enumerates five basic types of major:minor proportions and their
+inverses:
+
+@enumerate
+@item Multiplex, if the major number is an exact multiple of the minor (2:1,
+3:1, 4:2, 6:3); and its inverse, Submultiplex (1:2, 1:3, 2:4, 3:6)
+
+@item Epimoria or Superparticular [orig. @emph{Epimoria seu Superparticularis}],
+if the major number is one more than the minor (3:2, 4:3, 5:4); and its
+inverse, Subsuperparticular (2:3, 3:4, 4:5)
+
+@item Superpartiens, if the major number is one less than twice the minor
+(5:3, 7:4, 9:5, 11:6); and its inverse, subsuperpartiens (3:5, 4:7, 5:9, 6:11)
+
+@item Multiplexsuperparticular, if the major number is one more than twice the
+minor (5:2, 7:3, 9:4); and its inverse, Submultiplexsuperparticular (2:5, 3:7,
+4:9)
+
+@item Multiplexsuperpartiens, if the major number is one less than some other
+multiple (usually three or four) of the minor (8:3, 11:4, 14:5, 11:3); and its
+inverse, Submultiplexsuperpartiens (3:8, 4:11, 5:14, 3:11)
+
+@end enumerate
+
+He then continues to subdivide each type in various ways. For the multiplex
+proportions, for example, he indicates how many times greater the major number
+is than the minor:
+
+@itemize
+
+@item If two times greater, the proportion is @emph{dupla}. If inverted, it's
+called @emph{subdupla}. Examples: 2:1, 4:2, and 6:3.
+
+@item If three, @emph{tripla}; and its inversion, @emph{subtripla}. Example:
+3:1, 6:2, and 9:3.
+
+@item If four, @emph{quadrupla}; and its inversion, @emph{subquadrupla}.
+Example: 4:1, 8:2, and 12:3
+
+@end itemize
+
+Other proportions were possible, but whether they were frequently used is
+another question:

+The quality of a triad is determined by the precise arrangement of its

+first element is the root note (or simply @q{root}) of the chord, the second
+note is the @q{third} of the chord, and the last note is the @q{fifth} of
+the chord. These are described below:

+Instruments whose notated pitch is different from their sounded pitch. Except
+for those whose notated and sounding pitches differ by one or more octaves (to
+reduce the number of ledger lines needed), most such instruments are identified
+by the letter name of the pitch class of their fundamental. The pitch class is
+the note that @emph{sounds} (disregarding the octave in which it sounds) when
+the instrument plays a notated C.
+
+For example: when played on the B-flat clarinet, the note middle C @emph{sounds}
+the B-flat one tone lower. If played on the A clarinet, the same written
+note sounds the A (one and half tones -- a minor third -- lower).
+

+* About the French naming system: @notation{croche} refers to the note's
+@q{hook}. Therefore, from the eighth note on, the note names mean @q{hook},
+@q{doubled hook}, @q{trebled hook}, and so on.
+
+The rest names are based on the @notation{soupir}, or quarter rest.
+Subsequent rests are expressed as fractions thereof: half a
+@notation{soupir}, a quarter of a @notation{soupir}, and so on.
+
+Each of the following tables contains one type of note and its matching rest,
+with abbreviations that apply to both notes and rests. Just switch the part
+that means @q{note} with the part that means @q{rest}, for example:
+
+@itemize
+
+@item English: 16th @strong{note}, 16th @strong{rest}
+@item German: 32tel-@strong{Note}, 32tel-@strong{Pause}
+@item Finnish: 64-osa@strong{nuotti}, 64-osa@strong{tauko}
+
+@end itemize
+
+Editor's note: I put a dash @q{-} when I could not find a language-specific
+abbreviation for a duration name. If you know of one that I missed, please
+send it to me, care of the lilypond-user discussion list.
