This example from a well-known 16th-century lamentation shows a cadence that appears to imply the use of an [[Upper leading tone|upper leading-tone]], a debate over which was documented in Rome c.&nbsp;1540.<ref>Berger, Karol (1987). ''Musica Ficta: Theories of Accidental Inflections in Vocal Polyphony from Marchetto da Padova to Gioseffo Zarlino'', p. 148. Cambridge and New York: Cambridge University Press. {{ISBN|0-521-54338-X}}.</ref> The final three written notes in the upper voice are printed B–C–D, in which case the customary [[trill (music)|trill]] on the second to last note should be played using D and C. However, convention implied that the written C should be played as a C{{music|sharp}} in this context, and a [[cadential trill]] of a [[whole tone]] on the second to last note would then require a D{{music|sharp}}/E{{music|flat}}, the upper leading-tone of D{{music|natural}}. Presumably, the debate was over whether to use D{{music|sharp}}–C{{music|sharp}} or D–C{{music|sharp}} for the trill.
