Excerpt from By the Way, Vol. 2
The work of the Déchanteurs went forward slowly; it could not well do otherwise. In their day, theorists had more to do than to discover the laws of musical composition: they had also to find out some way of writing music. A whole new system of musical notation had to be worked out and established. The great triumph of scholastic musicians, from Guido d'Arezzo in the eleventh century down to the middle of the fourteenth, was the establishment of what is known as the system of Mensural Notation.
