MedMel (The Music of Medieval Vernacular Lyric) 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 users to search lyrics and melodic patterns, customize their visualization, switch from modern to ancient notation, export the music in various formats (pdf, HTML, XML/MEI) and listen to the melody.
The digital editions are created with the MelMed Editor, which is made publicly available for scholars and musicians who need an expressive and simple tool to transcribe medieval music.
