1.48 cluster
============

ES: racimo.

   A _cluster_ is a range of simultaneously sounding pitches that may
change over time.  The set of available pitches to apply usually
depends on the acoustic source.  Thus, in piano music, a cluster
typically consists of a continuous range of the semitones as provided
by the piano's fixed set of a chromatic scale.  In choral music, each
singer of the choir typically may sing an arbitrary pitch within the
cluster's range that is not bound to any diatonic, chromatic or other
scale.  In electronic music, a cluster (theoretically) may even cover a
continuous range of pitches, thus resulting in colored noise, such as
pink noise.

   Clusters can be denoted in the context of ordinary staff notation by
engraving simple geometrical shapes that replace ordinary notation of
notes.  Ordinary notes as musical events specify starting time and
duration of pitches; however, the duration of a note is expressed by
the shape of the note head rather than by the horizontal graphical
extent of the note symbol.  In contrast, the shape of a cluster
geometrically describes the development of a range of pitches (vertical
extent) over time (horizontal extent).  Still, the geometrical shape of
a cluster covers the area in which any single pitch contained in the
cluster would be notated as an ordinary note.

   From latin _punctus contra punctum_, note against note.  The
combination into a single musical fabric of lines or parts which have
distinct melodic significance.  A frequently used polyphonic technique
is imitation, in its strictest form found in the canon needing only one
part to be written down while the other parts are performed with a
given displacement.  Imitation is also the contrapunctal technique used
in the _fugue_ which, since the music of the baroque era, has been one
of the most popular polyphonic composition methods.

==================

A music copyist did fast freehand scores and parts on preprinted staff
lines for performance.  Some of their conventions (e.g., the placement
of note heads on stems) varied slightly from those of engravers.  Some
of their working methods were superior and could well be adopted by
music typesetters.  This required more skill than engraving.

1.61 custos
===========

F: guidon, D: Notenzeiger.

   A custos is a staff symbol that appears at the end of a staff line
with monophonic musical contents (i.e., with a single voice).  It
anticipates the pitch of the first note of the following line and thus
helps the player or singer to manage line breaks during performance,
thus enhancing readability of a score.

   Custodes were frequently used in music notation until the 16th
century.  There were different appearences for different notation
styles.  Nowadays, they have survived only in special forms of musical
notation such as via the editio vaticana dating back to the beginning
of the 20th century

note).  Others are considered to be variants of the base chords.

ES: ligadura

   A ligature is a coherent graphical symbol that represents at least
two distinct notes.  Ligatures originally appeared in the manuscripts of
Gregorian chant notation roughly since the 9th century to denote
ascending or descending sequences of notes.  In early notation,
ligatures were used for monophonic tunes (Gregorian chant) and very
soon denoted also the way of performance in the sense of articulation.
With the invention of the metric system of the white mensural notation,
the need for ligatures to denote such patterns disappeared.

nuotin aika-arvo.

   Note values (durations) are measured as fractions, normally 1/2, of
the next higher note value.  The longest duration normally used is
called _brevis_, but sometimes (mostly in pre-baroque music) the double
length note value _longa_ is used.

[image of music]

[image of music]

   An augmentation dot after a note multiplies the duration by one and a
half.  Another dot adds yet a fourth of the duration.

[image of music]

   Alternatively note values may be subdivided by other ratios.  Most
common is subdivision by 3 (_triplets_) and 5 (_quintuplets_).
Subdivisions by 2 (_tuplets_) or 4 (_quadruplets_) of dotted notes are
also frequently used.
