MonodiKit is a Python library designed to facilitate the analysis and processing of medieval chant documents. It was specifically tailored to handle data in the monodi+ data format as edited by the Corpus Monodicum project. The library offers a set of classes that provide a wide range of functionalities, including parsing and processing of chant documents, exploring their hierarchical structure, managing metadata, generating musical notation, and extracting relevant information.

See Documentation

• Parsing and processing of medieval chant documents.
• Access to the hierarchical structure of chant documents.
• Management of metadata associated with chant documents.
• Export to MEI, Volpiano and JSON.
• Extraction of relevant information.

To use MonodiKit, follow these steps:

Install monodikit from pip:

pip install monodikit

Import the MonodiKit library into your Python project:

import monodikit

If you want to use the data published by Corpus monodicum, you have to download it from OSF. Now you can load the data into monodikit with:

corpus = monodikit.Corpus("./data/*")
print(len(corpus.documents))
