Neume
A neume (/ˈnjuːm/; sometimes spelled neum) is the basic element of Western and Eastern systems of musical notation prior to the invention of five-line staff notation. The word entered the English language in the Middle English forms "newme", "nevme", "neme" in the 15th century, from the Middle French "neume", in turn from either medieval Latin "pneuma" or "neuma," the former either from ancient Greek πνεῦμα pneuma ("breath") or νεῦμα neuma ("sign"), or else directly from Greek as a corruption or an adaptation of the former.
The earliest neumes were inflective marks which indicated the general shape but not necessarily the exact notes or rhythms to be sung. Later developments included the use of heightened neumes which showed the relative pitches between neumes, and the creation of a four-line musical staff that identified particular pitches. Neumes do not generally indicate rhythm, but additional symbols were sometimes juxtaposed with neumes to indicate changes in articulation, duration, or tempo. Neumatic notation was later used in medieval music to indicate certain patterns of rhythm called rhythmic modes, and eventually evolved into modern musical notation. Neumatic notation remains standard in modern editions of plainchant.

Atonic Atrocity
by: NomyI cant reach you anymore
cause you wont open up the door
Yeah I dont know you anymore
It feels like I just died
what you said cannot hide
But you will care when I am gone
For the weakness that we share non disparity
for the past and joy of infinity
our atrocity
Lets sing out please do shout
this song is made of sorrow
Lets scream now you know how
We need some time to borrow
You laugh and cry
You live and you die
Yoou twist and turn, you crash and you'll burn
like one, but two there's nothing we cant do
burn ower roots we dont let now one
I know that you're strong
But sometimes you dont know when you are wrong
But I still miss you when you're gone
Thats why I give you another song
And I'll sing it all night long
