Neography
Neography (Greek foreign word for rewriting ) generally stands for the deviation from a predominant writing style. The one who uses them is called a neograph ( rewriter ). Neography can be limited to the deviating spelling of words, notations and expressions, but can also extend to the writing of deviating new opinions and understandings.
Gregorian chant
The representation of neumes of Gregorian chant in neography (Greek for new script ) is based on the spelling in the square notation , but is enriched by modified and additional characters, such as strophes or episemes , which reflect the subtleties of the old manuscripts and thus better represent the knowledge of Gregorian semiology .
In addition to the usual square neumes, there are more and more diamonds ( punctum inclinatum) and their own symbols for strophes . The chorale books Psalterium Monasticum (1981) and Liber Hymnarius (1983), which were published by the Abbey of Saint Peter in Solesmes near Sablé-sur-Sarthe , are set in neography.
