2.8.5 Working with ancient music—scenarios and solutions
Working with ancient music frequently involves particular tasks
which differ considerably from the modern notation for which
Lilypond is designed. In the rest of this section, a number of
typical scenarios are outlined, with suggestions of solutions.
These involve:
- how to make incipits (i.e. prefatory material to indicate
what the original has looked like) to modern transcriptions of
mensural music;
- how to achieve the Mensurstriche layout frequently
used for modern transcriptions of polyphonic music;
- how to transcribe Gregorian chant in modern notation;
- how to generate both ancient and modern notation from the
same source.
