I am currently re-organizing the Ancient Music section in the
Notation Reference which includes some standardization to bring
things into line with current documentation policy and other
sections.
As I don't know that much about the terminology and only have
google as my reference I wondered if anyone can tell me if the
term 'Augmentum dots' is a proper term (rather than 'Morae') or
just something that some decided to use because it describes this
notation?
I understand that Morae is a plural for 'Mora' in 'Punctum mora
vocis'
which is the complete name of the dot.
Yes, I think a punctum mora is a dot after the note,
and this is also called an augmentum. There is also an
augmentum duplex which is two dots (one above the
other) following a note. I don't think LilyPond
has implemented the latter. I don't know this stuff,
I just looked at http://home.gna.org/gregorio/gregorioxml/details
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.
Yes, this section is mainly about ligatures, so that
word should be retained in the heading.
