Remarks

The technical term “ad libitum” has several meanings depending on the context in which it occurs:

1: indicates an optional performance resource (instrumental or vocal part or group),

2: marks a passage to be played freely or free in time,

3: requests or invites to improvise a passage of music,

4: indicates that the number repetitions can be set individually or spontaneously.

Currently only the use within a performance resource (case 1) is supported.
