| 释义 | longa noun[ C ]
 music UKspecializeduk /ˈlɒŋ.ə/ us /ˈlɑːŋ.ə/plurallonge or longae(USquadruple note, quadruple whole note)
 a musical note with a time value equal to two or three breves: 4倍全音符
 In modern notation, a longa is usually represented as semibreves tied across two measures.在现代五线谱中,4倍全音符通常被标记为跨2个小节的全音符。
 There were notes that were longer than the breve, which were called "longa" and "maxima".
 The strokes called plica are still applied to longae and breves.
 The longa sometimes contained three breves, in which case it was called perfect, and sometimes only two, when it is said to be imperfect.
