Transcriptions from the Nova Organi Harmonia

    I've been transcribing some accompaniments from the NOH and adding rhythmic interpretation to the scores, since the original book didn't follow the common Solesmes interpretation of the time. As a sample, here are the Asperges me and Vidi aquam. I've been working on similar scores for some of the Mass ordinaries, and hope to do the same for all the ones we use. The scores are produced using Lilypond and LaTeX software.

    (An improved version is below.)

    Is there anything you can do about these clashes?

    An excellent and worthy project on so many fronts, chonak - the addition of Solesmes rhythm is very useful, as is the fresh and clear typesetting.

    Will the coding also allow for easy transposition?

    Yes, thanks for spotting that, GerardH. A corrected copy is here, and if you notice any more details to fix, please let me know.

    And yes, Palestrina, I've been transposing some to keep the ranges manageable for our schola of men.

    I would be interested to see your lilypond file. I do a lot of lilypond engraving.

    Many of us are grateful to you and others who re-engrave NOH accomps. Thank you.
