                                       domain related to mensuration. The tempus, prolatio, modusmaior, and modusminor attributes
                                       (from the att.mensural.shared class) specify the relationship between the four principle

                                       <abbr>i.e.</abbr>, the long, breve, semibreve and minim, in mensural notation.
                                       Modusminor describes the long-breve relationship, while tempus describes the breve-semibreve,
                                       and prolatio the semibreve-minim relationship, respectively. Modusmaior is for the

                                       relationship. The proport.* attributes describe augmentation or diminution of the
