Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Morehouse's music theory professor came and attempted to explain, but that did not help. However, this is an example of how we can use technology to notate music. As the title of this page implies, this is a representation of a Gregorian chant. I am not going to attempt to explain exactly how this representation works. However, I find it interesting that this makes sense to people, and it is indeed a form of sheet music.
