    This is my transcription to modern notation of the hymn "Veni Creator". I based myself on the harmonization of the NOH and the transcription of the Benedictine monks (Compendium Gradualis et Antiphonalis, 1924).

    Juan,

    First, thank you for your transcription.

    I'm a bit puzzled. You appear to have put guitar chords in the score, but you might have put down what amounted to a simplified figured bass. Which instrument did you intend to accompany this beautiful chant, the organ or the guitar?

    It seems very much to be for organ. That's how I would use it, anyway.

    Figured chords can be used on any instrument, not just guitar. Of course, this score is intended for organ.

    This arrangements are intended for beginning or amateur musicians.

    -When accompanying the melody use the chords only in the fundamental position or in the first inversion (never in the second).

    -Make the change from one chord to another as smooth as possible, and keep common notes tied together as much as possible.
