<p>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.
