ord.

In a score, ord. can stand for ordinario or modo ordinario. Here is how to tell them apart.

ord. is one of the abbreviations that carries more than one meaning. Written out, it can be ordinario or modo ordinario — 2 separate directions that happen to shorten to the same letters. The score itself decides which: the surrounding passage, the instrument, and what the music is doing at that moment.
