May 19, 2020 at 1:23 comment added user267839 You are right, the terminology "linear system" isn't common on singular curves, do you have an idea what Kollar there had mind?
May 19, 2020 at 1:22 comment added user267839 The question arised from a proof in Janos Kollar's "Lectures on Resolution of Singularities" (page 39). The proof is also quoted literally here: mathoverflow.net/questions/358245/… The point was that he started with a certain linear system on $\mathbb{P}^2$, then pulled it back to $C$ and obtained in a way I explaned above (by throwing away singular points with certain multiplicity from the pullbacks) "linear system"(at least he called it so) on $C$ of residuals.
