description

Measuring Polyphony presents digitisations of polyphonic compositions copied in XIII-XIV century manuscripts in in mensural notation, and linked directly, where possible, to high-resolution images of the original manuscript sources, and MIDI audio files. It leverages the potential of the rich digital image repositories of music manuscripts and the community-based standards for encoding music notation of MEI/XML.
