From Solesmes.... The Death of the Ictus and the Dot
  • The discussion was already going on in circles. "I'm aware of the earlier discussion, to which I contributed, and I don't think that they disregard the episemata at all. There's still a difference even in the much-lighter interpretation of Fontgombault which serves as the basis of the Laus in ecclesia recordings."

    I suppose if you don't think that there's a difference, then that's fine, but I was clear that we were talking about notes marked with the episema which still are different but that the interpretation is much lighter and is distinct from the dotted note, and your tone did not come across as particularly good-faith in the last two replies, to which I took particular exception.

    If I'm struggling to make myself clear, then I'm sorry, but I really am running out of ways to say this.
  • That's why a specific example would be helpful (and why one was requested).
