The mensural sucessor of the porrectus is already transparently handled by
the mensural ligature engraver, and as soon as the vaticana style
porrectus will (in 1.7) be transparently handled by a vaticana ligature
engraver, porrectus engraver will completely be removed.  Hence I would
suggest to mention porrectus not at all.

Ambitus per se has nothing to do with ancient notation.  It's just
useful when transcribing ancient music, but it is definitely a feature of
its own.  Hence, I would suggest to mention it somewhere else (maybe as an
entry of its own).

BTW., we may prefer the latin plural form of the word "ambitus".  I think
this should be also be "ambitus", but with a long "u" ("u" declination),
but I may check this at home to be certain.
