Does anyone know what these letters over the neumes are? I noticed that there is a "d" at the end of each phrase but am unsure of its significance, nor of any of the other letters. My best guess is they have something to do with the (unwritten) Gall notation, but I am not really sure.
I *believe* some of them are to indicate whether or not you lengthen or stress certain notes. I cannot, for the life of me, remember what they stand for, although I've encountered them in the past.
