Is Labii reatum (2nd last line) "our lips" or "their lips"? Both of the other translations use the latter. --Menchi 07:44 2 Jun 2003 (UTC)

What happened to the last note Si? Did it get renamed? Or has it come to mean something else now? Or was that note not ti? --Menchi 04:57, Aug 18, 2003 (UTC)

Back in the day they didn't consider the whole diatonic scale, just hexachords. B natural would not be in the hexachord starting on C, so it would only be sung to the syllable "mi" in the hexachord starting on G. Hmmm, maybe I should write a page on the Guidonian Hand to explain this to everyone... --Keenan Pepper

"it was originally called "si" from Sancte Ioannes, but was later renamed "ti" to allow each name to start with a different letter"

Wouldn't it make more sense if "si" was changed to "ti" to prevent confusion from the augmented 5th, also called "si"? -Lm
