Abstract
Musica ficta is both a set of theoretical rules and a performance practice whose application depends on the stylistic criteria and taste of the interpreter (editor or performer). This paper discusses how our modern stylistic habits might cause us to overlook implicit chromaticism or even to take for errors correct passages in the music of Estêvão Lopes Morago.
