Parts Level:  Music

Definition:  Type of musical notation, when present.

Comment:  In practice, this will occur most frequently with liturgical books when their generic title will already imply the presence of musical notation (antiphonal; gradual; processional; noted breviary). Although not required by the database program to state the presence and type of musical notation, inputters are much encouraged to do so. In choosing images, it will be useful if at least one of the images shows the musical notation.

Example:

• Square notation on 4-line red staves
• Neumes in campo aperto
• Neumes on staves including one red and one yellow line
• White mensural notation
• Nagelschrift notation
