1. Musica ficta

   Musica ficta (from Latin, "false", "feigned", or "fictitious" music) was a term used in European music theory from the late 12th century to about 1600 to describe pitches, whether notated or added at the time of performance, that lie outside the system of musica recta or musica vera ("correct" or "true" music) as defined by the hexachord system of Guido of Arezzo.

1. Musica ficta

   Musica ficta was a term used in European music theory from the late 12th century to about 1600 to describe any pitches, whether notated or to be added by performers in accordance with their training, that lie outside the system of musica recta or musica vera as defined by the hexachord system of Guido of Arezzo. In modern usage, the term is often loosely applied to all unnotated inflections that must be inferred from the musical context and added either by an editor or by the performers themselves. One common use of ficta was to avoid harsh harmonic or melodic intervals such as the tritone, for example the use of a E♭ instead of a E♮ to avoid dissonance with a B♭ in another part. In modern transcriptions of medieval and Renaissance music, ficta are usually indicated by an "accidental" sign appearing above the note. Editors provide these ficta for modern singers, whereas the kind of training given to singers of that time may have made such indications unnecessary.
