<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">“Behind Bars” does not give the whole story. The musica ficta track (Renaissance and early baroque music) involves providing (usually in parentheses above the
affected note) an alteration that may be introduced by a performer to respect the movement within a particular hexachord. It is not a hard-wired part of the score or the encoding, but of course it is unavailable to the performer unless it is indicated in
some way. It is not cautionary; it is optional. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">The later-music track usually uses cautionary accidents to warn the performer of something that is ingrained in the score might be missed in the visual environment,
especially return to the key indicated in th4 signature after a modulation or an alteration that carries over a page-turn.
