Meyer's minor tasks are an important part of the composition literature, so he presented several composition topics such as Bristol and Indians extremely economically.
In his chess work published in 1882, Meyer introduced the so-called universal notation as a proposal for a worldwide notation standard, which, however, did not prevail. The chess pieces would be named with letters from K to P.
