Mensural contexts

The predefined MensuralVoice and MensuralStaff contexts can be used to engrave a piece in mensural style. These contexts initialize all relevant context properties and grob properties to proper values, so you can immediately go ahead entering the chant, as the following excerpt demonstrates:

\score {
  <<
    \new MensuralVoice = "discantus" \transpose c c' {
      \override Score.BarNumber #'transparent = ##t {
        c'1\melisma bes a g\melismaEnd
        f\breve
        \[ f1\melisma a c'\breve d'\melismaEnd \]
        c'\longa
        c'\breve\melisma a1 g1\melismaEnd
        fis\longa^\signumcongruentiae
      }
    }
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto "discantus" {
      San -- ctus, San -- ctus, San -- ctus
    }
  >>
}

Mensural clefs

The following table shows all mensural clefs that are supported via the \clef command. Some of the clefs use the same glyph, but differ only with respect to the line they are printed on. In such cases, a trailing number in the name is used to enumerate these clefs, numbered from the lowest to the highest line. Still, you can manually force a clef glyph to be typeset on an arbitrary line, as described in 音部記号. The note printed to the right side of each clef in the example column denotes the c' with respect to that clef.

Petrucci used C clefs with differently balanced left-side vertical beams, depending on which staff line it is printed.

`Description`	`Supported Clefs`	`Example`
`mensural C clef`	`mensural-c1, mensural-c2, mensural-c3, mensural-c4`
`mensural F clef`	`mensural-f`
`mensural G clef`	`mensural-g`
`neomensural C clef`	`neomensural-c1, neomensural-c2, neomensural-c3, neomensural-c4`
`petrucci style C clefs, for use on different staff lines (the example shows the 2nd staff line C clef)`	`petrucci-c1, petrucci-c2, petrucci-c3, petrucci-c4, petrucci-c5`
`petrucci style F clefs, for use on different staff lines (the example shows the 3rd staff line F clef)`	`petrucci-f3, petrucci-f4, petrucci-f5`
`petrucci style G clef`	`petrucci-g`

Mensural time signatures

There is limited support for mensuration signs (which are similar to, but not exactly the same as time signatures). The glyphs are hard-wired to particular time fractions. In other words, to get a particular mensuration sign with the \time n/m command, n and m have to be chosen according to the following table

Use the style property of grob TimeSignature to select ancient time signatures. Supported styles are neomensural and mensural. The above table uses the neomensural style. The following examples show the differences in style:

拍子, gives a general introduction to the use of time signatures.

参照

Music Glossary: mensural notation .

Notation Reference: 拍子.

既知の問題と警告

Ratios of note durations cannot change with the time signature, as those are not constant. For example, the ratio of 1 breve = 3 semibreves (tempus perfectum) can be made by hand, by setting

breveTP = #(ly:make-duration -1 0 3 2)
…
{ c\breveTP f1 }

This sets breveTP to 3/2 times 2 = 3 times a whole note.

The mensural68alt and neomensural68alt symbols (alternate symbols for 6/8) are not addressable with \time. Use \markup {\musicglyph #"timesig.mensural68alt" } instead.

Mensural note heads

For ancient notation, a note head style other than the default style may be chosen. This is accomplished by setting the style property of the NoteHead object to baroque, neomensural, mensural, petrucci, blackpetrucci or semipetrucci.

The baroque style differs from the default style by:

Providing a maxima note head, and
Using a square shape for \breve note heads.

The neomensural, mensural, and petrucci styles differ from the baroque style by:

Using rhomboidal heads for semibreves and all smaller durations, and
Centering the stems on the note heads.

The blackpetrucci style produces note heads usable in black mensural notation or coloratio sections in white mensural notation. Because note head style does not influence flag count, in this style a semiminima should be notated as a8*2, not a4, otherwise it will look like a minima. The multiplyer can be different if coloratio is used e.g. to notate triplets.

Use semipetrucci style to draw half-colored note heads (breves, longas and maximas).

The following example demonstrates the petrucci style:

\set Score.skipBars = ##t
\autoBeamOff
\override NoteHead #'style = #'petrucci
a'\maxima a'\longa a'\breve a'1 a'2 a'4 a'8 a'16 a'
\override NoteHead #'style = #'semipetrucci
a'\breve*5/6
\override NoteHead #'style = #'blackpetrucci
a'8*4/3 a'
\override NoteHead #'style = #'petrucci
a'\longa

Mensural flags

Use the flag-style property of grob Stem to select ancient flags. Besides the default flag style, only the mensural style is supported.

\override Flag #'style = #'mensural
\override Stem #'thickness = #1.0
\override NoteHead #'style = #'mensural
\autoBeamOff
c'8 d'8 e'8 f'8 c'16 d'16 e'16 f'16 c'32 d'32 e'32 f'32 s8
c''8 d''8 e''8 f''8 c''16 d''16 e''16 f''16 c''32 d''32 e''32 f''32

Note that the innermost flare of each mensural flag always is vertically aligned with a staff line.

There is no particular flag style for neo-mensural or Petrucci notation. There are no flags in Gregorian chant notation.

参照

Music Glossary: mensural notation , flag .

既知の問題と警告

The attachment of ancient flags to stems is slightly off.

Vertically aligning each flag with a staff line assumes that stems always end either exactly on or exactly in the middle between two staff lines. This may not always be true when using advanced layout features of classical notation (which however are typically out of scope for mensural notation).

Mensural rests

Use the style property of grob Rest to select ancient rests. Supported styles are classical, neomensural, and mensural. classical differs from the default style only in that the quarter rest looks like a horizontally mirrored 8th rest. The mensural and the neomensural styles mimic the appearance of rests in manuscripts and prints up to the 16th century.

The following example demonstrates the mensural and neomensural styles:

\set Score.skipBars = ##t
\override Rest #'style = #'classical
r\longa^"classical" r\breve r1 r2 r4 r8 r16 s \break
\override Rest #'style = #'mensural
r\longa^"mensural" r\breve r1 r2 r4 r8 r16 s \break
\override Rest #'style = #'neomensural
r\longa^"neomensural" r\breve r1 r2 r4 r8 r16

There are no 32th and 64th rests specifically for the mensural or neo-mensural style. Instead, the rests from the default style will be taken.

Notation Reference: 休符.

Snippets: Ancient notation .

既知の問題と警告

The glyph for the maxima rest in mensural style is actually a perfect longa rest; use two (or three) longa rests to print a maxima rest. Longa rests are not grouped automatically, so have to be done manually by using pitched rests.

Mensural accidentals and key signatures

The mensural style provides a sharp and a flat sign different from the default style. If called for, the natural sign will be taken from the vaticana style.

The style for accidentals and key signatures is controlled by the glyph-name-alist property of the grobs Accidental and KeySignature, respectively; e.g.:

\override Staff.Accidental #'glyph-name-alist = #alteration-mensural-glyph-name-alist

Annotational accidentals (musica ficta)

In European music from before about 1600, singers were expected to chromatically alter notes at their own initiative according to certain rules. This is called musica ficta. In modern transcriptions, these accidentals are usually printed over the note.

Support for such suggested accidentals is included, and can be switched on by setting suggestAccidentals to true.

fis gis
\set suggestAccidentals = ##t
ais bis

This will treat every subsequent accidental as musica ficta until it is unset with \set suggestAccidentals = ##f. A more practical way is to use \once \set suggestAccidentals = ##t, which can even be defined as a convenient shorthand:

ficta = { \once \set suggestAccidentals = ##t }
\score { \relative c''
  \new MensuralVoice  {
	\once \set suggestAccidentals = ##t
  bes4 a2 g2 \ficta fis8 \ficta e! fis2 g1
  }
}

White mensural ligatures

There is limited support for white mensural ligatures.

To engrave white mensural ligatures, in the layout block, replace the Ligature_bracket_engraver with the Mensural_ligature_engraver in the Voice context:

\layout {
  \context {
    \Voice
    \remove Ligature_bracket_engraver
    \consists Mensural_ligature_engraver
  }
}

There is no additional input language to describe the shape of a white mensural ligature. The shape is rather determined solely from the pitch and duration of the enclosed notes. While this approach may take a new user a while to get accustomed to, it has the great advantage that the full musical information of the ligature is known internally. This is not only required for correct MIDI output, but also allows for automatic transcription of the ligatures.

At certain places two consecutive notes can be represented either as two squares or as an oblique parallelogram (flexa shape). In such cases the default is the two squares, but a flexa can be required by setting the ligature-flexa property of the second note head. The length of a flexa can be set by the note head property flexa-width.

For example,

\score {
  \transpose c c' {
    \set Score.timing = ##f
    \set Score.defaultBarType = "empty"
    \override NoteHead #'style = #'petrucci
    \override Staff.TimeSignature #'style = #'mensural
    \clef "petrucci-g"
    \[ c'\maxima g \]
    \[ d\longa
       \override NoteHead #'ligature-flexa = ##t
       \once \override NoteHead #'flexa-width = #3.2
       c\breve f e d \]
    \[ c'\maxima d'\longa \]
    \[ e'1 a g\breve \]
  }
  \layout {
    \context {
      \Voice
      \remove Ligature_bracket_engraver
      \consists Mensural_ligature_engraver
    }
  }
}

Without replacing Ligature_bracket_engraver with Mensural_ligature_engraver, the same music transcribes to the following

既知の問題と警告

Horizontal spacing of ligatures is poor. Accidentals may collide with previous notes.
