About This Work

The image shows a musical notation fragment consisting of three consecutive, vertically oriented strokes (virgae) placed on a horizontal staff line. The marks are black, uniform in size, and evenly spaced within the staff context.

The trivirga is a specific neumatic symbol used in medieval chant notation to indicate a sequence of three notes, typically implying a specific rhythmic or melodic emphasis depending on the liturgical tradition.
