Load the libraries you’ll use, create a digital text corpus as explained in this tutorial, and select an edition of neumes.
// after doing all imports, defining catalog, citation
// and editions values...
val repo = TextRepositorySource.fromFiles(catalog,citation,editions)
val neumeCorpus = repo.corpus ~~ CtsUrn("urn:cts:chant:antiphonary.einsiedeln121.neumes_xml:")
The latinmodel package has a collectText function that extracts the content of text nodes from an XML string. We use that to take all the nodes in an XML corpus, and create a sequence of nodes with the same URNs, but just the extracted text.
val plainText = neumeCorpus.nodes.map(cn => CitableNode(cn.urn, edu.holycross.shot.mid.latinmodel.collectText(cn.text)))
The virgapes library includes a Syllabifier object that will create a sequence of Syllables from a citable node.
val syllabifiled = plainText.map(Syllabifier(_))
