Does this apply in such a case? Or should rule 2 be ignored and the ictus placed on the next note instead of the beginning of the distropha? If the ictus is placed on the last note of the tristropha and the first note of the distropha, but there is no repercussion at the end of the tristropha, how should the ictus be indicated in the chironomy without tempting the singers to rush ahead?It should be remembered that a repercussion (or fresh layer of voice) is required each time a note affected by the ictus is of the same degree as the one immediately preceding it.
