(music) A notational device for indicating hemiola through either use of red ink (in mensural black notation) or black noteheads (in mensural white notation).
Example of late-14th century music using coloration for notating complex polymetric effects. Notes written in red in this modern transcription are also written in red in the original mensural notation. In each case, this indicates they are to be read as binary ("imperfect"), non-dotted notes; without coloration, they would have been read as ternary ("perfect", i.e. dotted).
(music) Ornamental division (also called passaggi, glosas, diminutions. etc.) employing rapid black notes.
