Hi Jon,
if you take a look at a facsimile of medieval music you'll see it has
something of a translation but usually is also a setting (transformation)
into our (modern) musical language.
best wishes

As a newbie (I guess more sophomore than newbie) I'm not sure what
"settings" means. I never asked before as I sort of assumed it was
something
like an arrangement or a setting into an ensemble. But as I read your
message in context it seems it is something else - as in a translation into
a readable format (tab or score).
I have a book called Composers at Work - subtitled The Craft of Musical
Composition 1450-1600. Much of it has to do with the process, but there is
a
good deal of treatment of the reading of medieval MS's, and the later forms
such at lute tab and score. So depending on the meaning of "settings" this
book might allow you to go from the MS to what you want.
Best, Jon
