Neume notation is an early system of musical notation used to represent the pitch and rhythm of melodies, particularly in the context of Gregorian chant. This notation system uses symbols called 'neumes' that indicate the relative pitch of notes, allowing for a visual representation of vocal music. It laid the groundwork for modern musical notation and was pivotal in the preservation and transmission of sacred music traditions in medieval Britain.
