Dear Sister,
No, I think about the second indeed: the Beneventan writing helps properly to specify the height of a note when square notation doesn't correspond to adiastematic neumes (this in my opinion, though).
I'm not sure we understand each other completely... Let me put the two possibilities another way (previous mails were not that clear):
1. all glyphs describing the same neume are the same, watever the height, and we can shift them up and down. For example a clivis is a clivis, whatever the ambitus. We can just shift it up or down to place it where it looks the most like the manuscript.
2. all glyphs describing the same neume are not the same.F or example if you have, in beneventan notation, something similar to a porrectus (I remember seing something like this), with a big bar; then you should have as many glyphs as there are ambitus for the notes (like in the current Gregorio). For example the porrectus gfg won't be the same as the porrectus geg. Will you (or Aaron?) use this?
