The MedMel project contains digital editions of monodic melodies of Troubadours, Trouvères and Trobadores lyrics, and it is aimed at musicologists, philologists and performers.
The MedMel database allows you to search lyrics and melodic patterns, customize your visualization, switch from modern to ancient notation, export the music sheet and listen to the melody.
The digital editions are created with the MelMed Editor, which we made publicly available for scholars and musicians who need an expressive and simple tool to transcribe medieval music.
