1. NeumeA neume (spelled neum in, for instance, the Solesmes publications in English) is the basic element of Western and Eastern systems of musical notation prior to the invention of five-line staff notation. The word is a Middle English corruption of the ultimately Greek word for breath (πνεῦμα pneuma). The earliest neumes were inflective marks which indicated the general shape but not necessarily the exact notes or rhythms to be sung.
