Reviewers: Trevor Daniels,
Message:
Please review.
Description:
Spelling correction. Remove the description of non-ancient rests since
it is no longer exhaustive and duplicates other parts of the NR.
Grammar. Remove out-commented example. Edit ligature example to get rid
of ledger lines, which are not appropriate with mensural music.
