[mei-neumes-ig] Question #1

[Kate Helsen]

Hi all,

Inga and I are hoping to have a clearer table to you soon, with all these
'bugs' worked out. In the meantime:


There are letters in the Pitch Modification column in the spreadsheet that

curved (as in, connection is curved, as opposed to angular)

This is our new symbol for 'quilisma', to fall in line with the Old
Hispanic nomenclature. Before, we were using "w" which is what Hughes
always used ('w' is also the letter to get a quilisma in Volpiano font, but
that's beside the point.)


> h

This is gone now; it used to stand for a kind of German-English way of
describing what we are now calling "jagged", with a 'j' as abbreviation.


> p (as in op)
>
This is also gone now, replaced by 'f' for 'flat' (and "flach" in German.)
Before, it meant "plane", geometrically.

Yes, but we are not using "w" anymore to describe quilismas; we are using
'q'.
