[mei-neumes-ig] Question #2

[Jennifer Bain]

I don¹t think that anyone has answered this question yet.

In fact, yes, some neumes can consist of other more basic neumes, and this
is one of the things that we¹ve been trying to sort out.

The corrected table, for example, will include the climacus and the
scandicus, both of which are made up of gap-connected puncti with a virga.
The punctum or the virga can appear on their own over a single syllable,
or they can be grouped together. The scandicus uses several puncti rising
up to end with a virga, while the climacus begins with a virga and then
has descending puncti.

All the best,

Jennifer
