• Until recently, Old Hispanic chant was rarely subjected to close musical analysis, in part because it is preserved in unpitched notation. Although we can read the contours of the melodies—the up and down movements—they cannot be reliably transcribed into modern notation. This paper introduces the Chant Editing and Analysis Program and shows how it facilitates analysis of the repertory.
