I understand that Morae is a plural for 'Mora' in 'Punctum mora vocis' which is the complete name of the dot. > Likewise the term 'Gregorian Square Neume Ligatures', could I for instance > just call them 'Gregorian Square Neumes' or whatever the plural is? Gregorian neumes are typeset as ligatures in a similar way as white notation ligatures are, that's why the phrase contains the word ligatures. That's how I see it from my little knowledge of the subject. -- Francisco Vila.
