+@cindex note heads, ancient
+
+For Kievan square notation, the appropriate note head style needs
+to be chosen. This is accomplished by setting the @code{style}
+property of the @code{NoteHead} object to @code{kievan}.
+
+The Kievan final note, which usually comes at the end of a piece
+of music, may be selected by setting the duration to
+@code{\longa}. The Kievan recitative mark, used to indicate
+the chanting of several syllables on one note, may be selected by
+setting the duration to @code{\breve}. The following example
+demonstrates the various Kievan note heads:
+
+@lilypond[quote,fragment,ragged-right,verbatim]

+@knownissues
+LilyPond automatically determines if the stem up or stem down
+form of a note is drawn. When setting chant in square notation,
+however, it is customary to have the stems point in the same
+direction within a single melisma. This can be done manually by
+setting the @code{direction} property of the @code{Stem} object.
+
+@node Kievan accidentals
+@unnumberedsubsubsec Kievan accidentals
+
+@cindex accidentals
+
+The @code{kievan} style for accidentals is selected with the
+@code{glyph-name-alist} property of the grob @code{Accidental}.
+The @code{kievan} style provides a sharp and a flat sign
+different from the default style. There is no natural sign
+in Kievan notation. The sharp sign is not used in Synodal music
+but may occur in earlier manuscripts. It has been included
+primarily for the sake of compatibility.
