Correction?

According to this article, the longa has a stem, but the "double-longa" does not. What about the maxima - which has a longer stem than the longa, and is used in mensural notation to indicate a time period of two longas&hellip. True, neither notation is used much any more, but it is still being taught - at least at the university level.

Additionally, according to Wikipedia's own article on Mensural notation, the correct term is a "duplex-longa", not a double longa. Just wondering.... - NDCompuGeek (talk) 16:44, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
