So, it's Solesme's point of view. Dominicans, that have their own tradition of singing and writing music, say they they need 'quarter bars'. > We have to keep in mind that all the writting of gregorianis "modern" > : in the VIIIth and IXth centurys, there were nothing like this.

So i miss the dominican way in gregorio. When i want sing from graduale simplex or other solesme edition - gregorio is excellent. But if i need to make something from dominican chant, only thing we need more is a 'quarter bar'. > If you need to make a neum longer, use the point.

I think this way is not good: i don't want to make mix of dominican (still kind of gregorian) chant and solesmes style. Dominican original partitions have 'quarter bars'. They don't have points.
