Augmentum dots (morae)

Augmentum dots, also called morae, are added with the music function \augmentum. Note that \augmentum is implemented as a unary music function rather than as head prefix. It applies to the immediately following music expression only. That is, \augmentum \virga c will have no visible effect. Instead, say \virga \augmentum c or \augmentum {\virga c}. Also note that you can say \augmentum {a g} as a shortcut for \augmentum a \augmentum g.

     
     \include "gregorian.ly"
     \score {
       \new VaticanaVoice {
         \[ \augmentum a \flexa \augmentum g \]
         \augmentum g
       }
     }
