Cantatur autem sic: Tacentibus ceteris unus inchoat cum huius qui tenent pedem. Et cum venerit ad primam notam post crucem, inchoat alius, et sic de ceteris. Singuli vera repausent ad pausaciones scriptas et non alibi spacio unius lange note. Hoc repetit unus quociens opus est faciens pausacionem in fine. Hoc dicit alius pausans in media et non in fine. Sic immediate repetens principium. |
