[mei-neumes-ig] @ncsign oriscus

Mon Jan 22 15:57:44 CET 2018

Hi Ich,

It seems I missed the email from Thomas and Elaine. What is the function of @ncsign?  Is it to give a (more-or-less standard) name to the neume component?

Also, in the following example, it’s not a good idea to treat the initial letter and the remainder of the syllable as 2 syllables.

>  <syl n=“initial">K</syl>

>  <neume>
>    <nc oct= "3" pname= “g” />
>    <nc oct= "3" pname= “a” />
>  </neume>
>  <neume>
>    <nc oct= "3" pname= “g" />
>    <nc oct= "3" pname= “a” />
>    <nc oct= "3" pname= “g” />
>    <nc oct= "3" pname= “g” ncsign=“oriscus” />
>  </neume>
> </syllable>

Two syllables assigned to the same note/neume is a signal for elision.  This isn’t that.  ☺  Since the inial letter is a segment of the syllable, and an initial is a special kind of segment, I’d recommend the following instead –

<syllable xmlns="http://www.music-encoding.org/ns/mei">
  <syl><seg type="initial">K</seg>Y</syl>
  <neume>
    <nc oct="3" pname="g"/>
    <nc oct="3" pname="a"/>
  </neume>
  <neume>
    <nc oct="3" pname="g"/>
    <nc oct="3" pname="a"/>
    <nc oct="3" pname="g"/>
    <nc oct="3" pname="g" ncsign="oriscus"/>
  </neume>
</syllable>

Alternatively, we could add a special-purpose element, say <initial>, that can go inside <syl>.

Subject: [mei-neumes-ig] @ncsign oriscus

As proposed by Thomas Weber and Elaine Stratton (in the email to this list on 2017-10-17), I added the @ncsign in the current "MEI Neumes Module Draft, Version 0.2.2”:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iJ4S3epL0-IfOsOVm547Fg-VO_bORUbtRCW775nPQ1A

Here are some examples for oriscus. I’ll post some examples for quilisma and strophicus in separate posts.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

I think this is a case where we provide an image of this unusual neume.
