B QUADRO, QUADRATO, or DURALE, in music, called by the French b quarre, from its figure ♭. This is what we call B natural or sharp, in distinction to B mol or flat. See FLAT, and SHARP.
If the flat ♭ be placed before a note in the thorough bass, it intimates, that its third is to be minor; and if placed with any cipher over a note in the bass, as ♭6, or ♭5, &c. it denotes, that the fifth or sixth thereto are to be flat. But if the quadro ♭ be placed over any note, or with a cipher, in the thorough bass, it has the contrary effect; for thereby the note or interval thereto is raised to its natural order.
