[mei-neumes-ig] Question #2

[Elsa De Luca]

Dear Everyone,

sorry for my long silence. I had a couple of deadlines on Monday and I am
currently getting ready for a Conference in Jerusalem where I'll be in few
days. Anyhow, I shall be able to read all your emails in the second half of
next week, if in the  meanwhile you have an updated table, please send it
off! Thank you.

All best,

Elsa

>> by two single-note neumes.
