If two versions of the same song can be found, then the later manuscript can be used as a ‘Rosetta Stone’ to help determine what the earlier neumes mean and how they can be interpreted.
There were also ‘liquescent’ neumes - ornamental neumes that required special types of vocal delivery.
To illustrate the development from neumes to notes, we take the Offertory Illumina, from the 10th Sunday.
The only strange-looking neumes are the slightly curved diagonal strokes, but these are not difficult.
For example, an accidental may appear two or more neumes prior to the modified note.
