Only in case of achorus is the sixteen-foot tone to be added to the manual in chords, unless possibly in accom-panying a quartet, when the four voices sing in unison. In the chant, it is sometimes advisable Doubling _ _ the Intervals to double the intervals of the chord as written. This should only be continued for a measure or ofa chord, in-two, and the effect of thus filling up the chord in the left hand will be that of drawing a stop of ^•=** °^ ^^^ • • ^ 1 • ? rrn !• c /v S StOpS Of Sixteen feet equal m power to the origmal combination.
