♫ = Σ*(f.φ): NEUMES
(Neumed & Ekphonetic Universal Manuscript Encoding Standard).
Homepage for the NEUMES Project, an interdisciplinary research project to design an Internet-based software infrastructure
for digital transcription of chant music notations, covering Gregorian chant, Byzantine neume notation, and ekphonetic notation.
Goals: a diplomatic facsimile of the source manuscript can be viewed; data can be shared across applications and platforms;
and search or comparison of melodic patterns is computationally feasible. Free licensing for non-commercial, educational, and
cultural uses.

Gegenstand dieses Projekts ist die Entwicklung einer Software-Infrastruktur für die
digitale Transkription und Beschreibung mittelalterlicher Handschriften von mittelalterlichen Gesängen aus westlichen
und byzantinischen Quellen. Das Ziel ist eine normierte Methode, mit der der Inhalt von Handschriften mit dem Computer
betrachtet, durchsucht und analysiert werden kann.

Ο σκοπός του
προγράμματος είναι
να σχεδιαστεί και να
χτιστεί μία
υποδομή λογισμικού
γιά την ψηφιακή
μεταγραφή και την
περιγραφή των
μεσαιωνικών
ψαλτικών
χειρογράφων.
Ο στόχος είναι ένας
ομοιόμορφος
τρόπος με τον οποίο
το περιεχόμενο των
χειρογράφων μπορεί
να
διαβάζεται, να
ερευνάται και να
αναλύεται με τον
υπολογιστή.
