Abstract
En este trabajo se presentan los elementos necesarios para codificar digitalmente música preservada en manuscritos de los siglos XVI y XVII. Se presentan soluciones, propuestas para superar las dificultades que generan algunos aspectos que hacen esta notación diferente de la notación occidental moderna. Los problemas abordados son, por ejemplo, la ausencia de líneas divisorias o la duración de las figuras, que se basan en el contexto. También se presenta la nueva fuente tipográfica “Capitán”, específicamente creada para representar este tipo de notación antigua.
Highlights
Three ways of generating new content for the global musical corpus can be distinguished: a) the creation of original music by composers; b) the review by musicologists of previous musical editions or known manuscripts; and c) the result of the study by musical paleographers of unpublished manuscript or printed material that, after transcribing it to modern musical notations, make that content accessible to any interested musician
We introduce the necessary elements to build a computerized notation system to digitally transcribe digitally written musical manuscripts in Hispanic white mensural notation from the 16th to the 18th centuries, and we present the proposed solution to address some of the aspects that make this notation different to Common Western Music Notation (CWMN)4, such as the absence of dividing lines
This section is not intended to be an introduction to white mensural notation because it is too complex to be summarized in a few short lines
Summary
Three ways of generating new content for the global musical corpus can be distinguished: a) the creation of original music by composers; b) the review by musicologists of previous musical editions or known manuscripts; and c) the result of the study by musical paleographers of unpublished manuscript or printed material that, after transcribing it to modern musical notations, make that content accessible to any interested musician. It is possible to find scores that do not fully comply with the norms dictated by the treatises which in each period have guided composers and musicians This is what happens in the white mensural notation of the Hispanic territories between the 16th and 18th centuries. We introduce the necessary elements to build a computerized notation system to digitally transcribe digitally written musical manuscripts in Hispanic white mensural notation from the 16th to the 18th centuries, and we present the proposed solution to address some of the aspects that make this notation different to Common Western Music Notation (CWMN), such as the absence of dividing lines. We will show a small example of transcription and conclude by indicating some future lines of work
