Est plica imperfecta in forma perfecte similis, sed regulam imperfecte tenet et naturam, et continet unum tempus in corpore, reliquum in membris.' Cousse. Script i. -73. 'Duplex longa valet sex tempore.' Anon. De Arte Discantandi, Bib. Nat. Paris, MS. 1107. The division of the complete long note into two unequal fractions could also be effected by means of breves alone. In this case the lesser fraction was again represented, as in the longa-brevis division, by the breve of one time, the brevis recta, and the greater by the brevis altera, valued as two times. The breve, like the long, admitted the grace note, which was exhibited in the brevis plica, a figure similar in form to the longa plica but inverted in the lateral sense, that is to say, with the longer stroke now upon the left side. 1 Hitherto it has been usual, in the translation of the plica into modern notation, to exhibit a note of full value followed by a superfluous grace note in smaller type; but since the grace note, according to the rules given by the theorists, is to be counted as part of the principal note, and encroaches in a fixed proportion upon the normal duration of that note, it has been thought desirable that in our translations and illustrations of value this fact should be clearly expressed. The circumflex accent placed above the grace note is intended to indicate the other important fact relating to it, namely, the method of production, --' in the throat with the epiglottis, '--or as Pseudo-Aristotle more fully explains, 'per compositionem epiglotti cum repercussione gutturis subtiliter inclusa, '--which seems to have been peculiar to it.
