Of liquescent neums we find the epiphonus on the second syllable of diem and the third of celebrantes, the cephalicus on the first of omnes, a pes subbipunctis liquescens (the first punctum connected with the pes in the manner of a torculus and the second, liquescent, bent back to the left) on the second syllable of collaudant and a porrectus compunctis liquescens on the last syllable of filium.

We only notice that on gaudent and angeli the MS. adds a liquescent note to the podatus and porrectus subbipunctis, and on celebrantes has twice a porrectus for the strophic clivis, which suggests that the apostropha (oriscus) was sung slightly higher than the last note of the clivis, as mentioned above.

The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume 10: Mass Music-Newman 1840-1916 1913

Of the clivis form peculiar to this school our illustration contains no example; but on the second syllable of festum and the second and fourth of celebrantes we have the porrectus, which in its first two strokes contains the clivis.

The oriscus is found after the podatus on agatha and the quilisma, consisting of two hooks, on the second syllable of domino, the second of angeli and the first of dei, in each case a porrectus being joined to it.

The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume 10: Mass Music-Newman 1840-1916 1913

On the first syllable of tuum we have an episematic porrectus, followed by two puncta, while the plain porrectus appears on the first syllable of domine (third sign).

The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume 10: Mass Music-Newman 1840-1916 1913

The porrectus is easily recognizable on the first syllable of Sola.

Similarly on do a porrectus and virga are replaced by a clivis and podatus.
