    When you see this, does it mean that it usually refers to the signature DO (or C..), in which all the notes are played in their natural and normal values? Or that you play back, to the original time?

    Thanks

    I have only seen Ordinario associated with playing Sul Tasto or Sul Ponticello, where you return to the usual bow contact point with the string.

    This is why we have musicologists: to beat small subjects to death so we can understand and mostly ignore them.
