Ligature (music) - Transcription

Transcription

In transcribing to modern notation, where no compound graphs as ligatures exist, editors usually indicate by a hook, a bracket/brace, or (less often in polyphonic music) a slur/phrase mark those notes that were combined into a ligature. In order to avoid confusion, many scores that are transcribed purely for performance do not include any additional notation to indicate that a particular note originally belonged to a ligature, as most of the methods to show this have separate meanings in a performance capacity.
