For ancient notation, a note head style other than the default
style may be chosen. This is accomplished by setting the style
property of the NoteHead object to baroque
,
neomensural
, mensural
or petrucci
. The
baroque
style differs from the default
style only in
using a square shape for \breve
note heads. The
neomensural
style differs from the baroque
style in that
it uses rhomboidal heads for whole notes and all smaller durations.
Stems are centered on the note heads. This style is particularly
useful when transcribing mensural music, e.g., for the incipit. The
mensural
style produces note heads that mimic the look of note
heads in historic printings of the 16th century. Finally, the
petrucci
style also mimicks historic printings, but uses bigger
note heads.
The following example demonstrates the neomensural
style
\set Score.skipBars = ##t \override NoteHead #'style = #'neomensural a'\longa a'\breve a'1 a'2 a'4 a'8 a'16
When typesetting a piece in Gregorian Chant notation, the
Gregorian_ligature_engraver will automatically select
the proper note heads, so there is no need to explicitly set the
note head style. Still, the note head style can be set, e.g., to
vaticana_punctum
to produce punctum neumes. Similarly, a
Mensural_ligature_engraver is used to automatically
assemble mensural ligatures. See Ligatures, for how ligature
engravers work.
