This course covers the basics of the notational system so that you can understand the sorts of decisions that modern editors have made, check available editions against original notation, sing directly from original notation, and be prepared for the more advanced studies that would be necessary to gain editorial proficiency. It is designed for musicians who can read modern notation but have no knowledge of medieval notation.
DISCLAIMER: These tutorials don't attempt to teach the kind of editorial skills that would be required to edit a newly discovered piece of fourteenth-century music, not least because most new discoveries are fragments in fairly illegible condition.
