Hello, Several years ago when the ability to indicate Dominican chant quarter bars was implemented in Gregorio, they were added as modifications to the half bar notation, i.e.: ;1 ;2 ;3 ;4 ;5 ;6 would produce the various heights of the bars.
Would it be possible to modify the system so that instead of the semicolon (;) the comma (,) would be used along with the numbers to indicate the height of the bar? The reason I think this would be helpful is that the Dominican variable height bars are conceptually closer to the quarter bar than the half bar, so it would be more intuitive for the notation to be ,1 ,2 ,3 ,4 ,5 ,6 . However, if a change was made, I think it would be helpful to leave the semicolon indications in place as well, to ensure backwards compatibility with chant scores. Yours, br. Innocent, op
