Dear Elie, This sounds good! Where can these manusripts be found? Also just a thought: you already sent me an exhaustive analysis of the St Gall and Laon neumes, I think it would be good to start such a work for Beneventan notation (without the fancy aggregated neumes), in order to see if the

One other thought, it would be handy to be able to turn off staff lines for many of the older notations. Ideally there would be some way to just enable an F-line or an F and C line, but A -- ___ Aaron Macks(aar...@wiglaf.org)

Dear Aaron, I think providing one form per neume is pretty reasonable for most purposes, though it might be useful to have hooks in the code to somehow indicate alternate form, with the understanding that it would have to be added to the font as well Sure. Can you tell me what you think of

Most of the beneventan MSS were written without staff lines, like the st. gall. Somewhat later, lines were frequently added at F (often in red) and less frequently at C (in yellow)

Dear All, So if we were trying to make the output as close to the source as possible, having the ability to enable/disable staff lines would be useful. It's a minor detail, but it also seems like an easyish thing to implement This is useful for me too!! Thinking about what would be the

Dear All, Reading Paléographie Musicale XV further, I think the previous method I proposed you is good for simple glyphs, but is not exhaustive at all. If you take p. 136 of Paléographie Musicale XV further, you can see a neume of approximately 8 notes. Drawing it for all possible ambitus, if

Dear Aaron, To start, I entirely agree, adding Ben. neumes is WAY larger a project then adding St. Gall or Laon, and doing it as a seperate development effort seems entirely reasonable. Ok! I think it's good though to think about it from now on, in order to define an input syntax that will
