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. <p class="noindent"> <h5 class="subsubheading">See also</h5> <p class="indent"> <p><a href="mensural-notation.fr.html#mensural-notation">mensural notation</a>. <!-- footer_tag --><br><hr> <div class="node"> <p> Next: <a rel="next" accesskey="n" href="lilypond.fr.html#lilypond">lilypond</a>, Previous: <a rel="previous" accesskey="p" href="leger-line.fr.html#leger-line">leger line</a>, Up: <a rel="up" accesskey="u" href="Musical-terms-A_002dZ.fr.html#Musical-terms-A_002dZ">Musical terms A-Z</a> </div> <div style="background-color: #e8ffe8; padding: 2; border: #c0ffc0 1px solid;"> <p> <font size="-1"> Cette page documente LilyPond-2.11.57 (branche de développement). <br> <address> Rapportez toute anomalie en français à <a href="mailto:lilypond-user-fr@gnu.org">lilypond-user-fr@gnu.org</a> ou en anglais à <a href="http://post.gmane.org/post.php?group=gmane.comp.gnu.lilypond.bugs">http://post.gmane.org/post.php?group=gmane.comp.gnu.lilypond.bugs</a> </address> <br> Vos <a href="http://lilypond.org/web/devel/participating/documentation-adding">suggestions à propos de la documentation</a> sont les bienvenues. </font> </p> </div> </BODY></html>
