	Mensural Notation
		Similarly, the relationship between the breve and semibreve is the tempus, and if the tempus is triple (three semibreves to the breve), then it is perfect.
		A duple tempus (two semibreves to the breve), is said to be imperfect.
		Finally, the relationship between the semibreve and minim is the prolatio, and if the prolatio is triple (three minims to the semibreve), then it is major.

		Thus a semibreve or breve which is dissonant for its entire length is not allowed.
		In this example, the semibreve in the descant is syncopated and its second minim is dissonant.
		When the semibreve in the descant sounds against the first semibreve in bass, the result is a consonance, the preparation.

		The altered breve was replaced by three semibreves of equal length, but (any) two successive semibreves (unless part of a ternary series) were always iambic (that is, the first doubled in length by the second.) This is not arbitrary, for it is the same relationship as for two and only two successive breves.
		The only thing it could not indicate, given this level of semibreve resolution, was a trochaic (long followed by short) division of the breve, and some theorists’ treatises from later in the century claim that even this was possible, though no method of accomplishing it is given.
		When a colored semibreve is followed immediately by a colored minim, the same situation arises as with the modern two-note triplet (such as a quarter-eighth triplet), and it is performed in like fashion.

		The value of a note is expressed by the length of time during which it is kept on the fret letter; thus it is necessary to remain the longest time on those which are worth the most, and to pass very soon from those which are worth the least.
		One ought to remain on the semibreve as much as is necessary to express 32 demisemiquavers, because a semibreve is worth 32 times a demisemiquaver.
		Whenever a semibreve is dotted, it is necessary to give it the duration of six beats in place of the four which I have mentioned, because it is augmented by half.

		The semibreves are then divided into either two or three minims depending on whether the prolatio is minor or major.
		The concept of placing varying numbers of semibreves within a tempus survives in the various divisiones of Italian notation most of which are defined by the number of minims per tempus (recall that a minim is technically a type of semibreve, a semibrevis minima).

		One compelling explanation is that in the previous four instances of two semibreves in a divisio, extending back to the second line of text, are all to be sung via artis.
		The next most probable interpretation, and the one which I have used in the transcription is a 2:1 ratio between the void semibreve before and the solid semibreve later (implying a 2:3 ratio between the void semibreve and the solid minim).

		The longest note is the semibreve all the other notes are smaller divisions of time of this note (a semibreve is twice as long as a minim, a minim is twice as long as a crotchet and so on).
		For example four crotchets are equal in time to one semibreve, that means a crotchet note is played for only one quarter the time a semibreve note is played.
		A note with a dot placed after it, is played for one and a half times its normal length, in other words the dot adds half of it's original 'time value' to the note.

	Mensuration in renaissance music - the music
		A straightforward case: the dot is applied to the binary semibreve of minor prolation, and the complementary value is found immediately after it.
		In a first step, leaving aside any detail at prolation level, we imagine the second and third notes as semibreves, and we notice that the first breve, followed by a group summing up to four semibreves, is imperfected on the right by one semibreve.
		The second semibreve is altered at tempus level, and then imperfected by the minim on its right side at prolatio level.

		A semibreve is a musical note of half the time or duration of the breve.
		In music, a dotted note is a note followed by a dot to indicate an increase of length equal to one half of its simple value; thus, a dotted semibreve is equal to three minims, and a dotted quarter to three eighth notes.
		In music a minim is a time note, formerly the shortest in use; a half note, equal to half a semibreve, or two quarter notes or crotchets.

	Re: [Finale] rests, long notes, in 18/8; and in 5/8, 5/4, etc.
		But to avoid the ambiguity of 2 x 3 vs. 3 x 2 in a metre like 18/8, this relaxation would have to be balanced against keeping sufficient constency of notation to make it clear which of these groupings is to be followed.
		But to me, the dotted semibreve (either rest or note) in 18/8 where it signifies 3 bars of 6/8 is perfectly clear and readable.
		Such as, for instance, if you are using a metre of 5/8, 5/4, and the like, such a convention would allow a single note (or rest) to represent a minim plus a quaver, a semibreve plus a crotchet, etc., and fill the entire bar exactly.

		The relationship between breve and semibreve is the tempus and the relationship between semibreve and minim is the prolation.
		The semibreve corresponds to the modern whole note, however, music of that period is normally reduced 2:1 when transcribed into modern notation and then played alla breve (cut time) with the half-note getting the beat.
		Thus the breve would be transcribed as a whole note, the semibreve as a half note and the minim as a quarter note.

	Breve (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		A breve is also a note in music, lasting twice as long as a semibreve (or whole note).
		Because it lasts longer than a bar[?] in most modern time signatures, it is now rarely encountered, but in Mediaeval music it was the shortest note length, and could be either a half or a third as long as the longa[?].

		When modern time signatures became established, the semibreve was regarded as the fundamental note value, and so they are expressed as the length of the bar in relation to the semibreve, which is given the value 1.
		The lower number in a time signature represents a note value expressed as a fraction of a semibreve; the upper number shows how many units of that note value there are in each bar.
		Thus, one of the most common time signatures, ¹, effectively means “four quarters”: the unit of the bar is a quarter of a semibreve (i.e.

		For all notes except the breve (double whole note) and semibreve (whole note), each note has a stem and, for the notes of shorter time-value, a flag, hook or tail (one flag for a quaver (eighth note), two for a semiquaver (sixteenth note), and so on).
		In mensural notation (or mensuration), the ratio between the semibreve and the long, called the modus, could be 2 (or duple), in which case it was described as being minor, or 3 (or triple), in which case the ratio was said to be major.
		In a similar way, the ratio of semibreve and breve was called the tempus which when 2, was said to be imperfect and when 3, was said to be perfect.

	Time Signatures
		To find out the note value of a bottom number, the bottom number is related to the value of a semibreve.
		If the bottom number were 8, you divide a semibreve by eight so the beats in each bar will be quavers.There are four crotchets to a semibreve so if the bottom number were four then there would be crotchet beats in the bar.
		Similarly if the bottom number were two, because there are two minims to a semibreve then the beats in a bar would be minims.

	Alla Breve
		In the older music, those breves and semibreves really were the quick notes (briefer than the longs and double-longs).
		Much of the notation there is white notes, and the semibreve (modern "whole note") is one of the medium-value ones.
		Our modern habits of seeing a semibreve as a "whole note" shouldn't influence us to play/sing slowly, or to hold it all the way out, necessarily: it could still be a staccato articulation on such a note if the musical context calls for it!

		A note of four beat duration is called a "semibreve", or (in American terminology) a "whole note".
		We build up more interesting patterns by dividing notes into two, to we can replace a semibreve, by two "minims", or "half notes".

		In the same way, the semibreve was either the lesser (1/3 tempus) or greater (2/3 tempus).

		I can't disagree with her, really, since three semibreves must fit into the time of one semibreve in the previous section, and it is more common to think of `triplet' quarters in this connotation.
		However, because this is an exercise in transcription first, I chose to keep the typographic similarity, and just note that you beat the half-note in the dupla, and the dotted-whole in the tripla.
		So also are the following two breves: each following semibreve affects the previous breve, whether the semi is a note or a rest.

		In my suggested transcription scheme, where the semibreve is equal to a half note, the breve would be equivalent to a whole note.
		This one, because of the rising tail on the left, will be transcribed as two semibreves, with the note pitch being that of the line or space between the points where the horizontal (or angled) bars strike the end of the note-shape.
		This ligature would be read as a semibreve on the second to bottom line, and another semibreve on the middle line.
