Tossup

John of Garland used this word for modes that begin and end with the same value. In Franconian notation, a little stroke following some breves is alternatively called a divisio modi or a sign of this property. This is the second English adjective in the name of the scale formed by stacking the Hypaton, Meson, Diezeugmenon (“dee-uh-zewg-MAY-non”) and Hyperbolaion (“hyper-boh-LYE-on”) tetrachords, called the Greater [this adjective] System. In mensural notation, this adjective applies to time signatures that are full circles, signifying a triple division of breves into semibreves. The consonances that [emphasize] lack this property are thirds and sixths. (10[5]-5[2])A cadence (10[1])that ends with scale (10[1])degree (10[1])one in the upper voice over (10[1])a V-I (“five-one”) progression is this type (10[1])of (10[2])authentic (-5[1])cadence, (10[4])or PAC for short. For 10 (10[1])points, name this (-5[1])quality of fourth, fifths, (10[2])and octaves (10[2])that are neither (10[1])augmented nor diminished. ■END■ (10[2])
