 abstract = {This paper stems from the project of redevelopment of the \textit{Thesaurus Musicarum Latinarum} (TML), the online searchable archive of early music treatises in Latin. Over 25 years after the project's inception, work is in progress to enrich the large corpus of plain-text files by encoding them with TEI, to improve the resource's fruition and the discoverability of the text. Over that background, a quite more difficult challenge emerges: to make also discoverable the large quantity of notated examples found interleaved with the verbal text of the treatises. It was not in the original intent to make music notation systematically searchable, but attempts were made to capture some facets of mensura notation through a code specifically designed for the project. The aim of this paper is both to discuss these earlier encoding attempts, with their shortcomings, and to propose our customization of MEI as a possible starting point to expand the current specifications. This is proving useful in the present state of the project: more work will be necessary to take care of other mensural features and flavors, and of course of chant and non-mensural notations, but MEI is proving apt to the job. The TML provides an ideal benchmark for developing a more specialized model of markup that will be useful for many other scholarly purposes. (The transcript below reflects the status of the TML project and of MEI at the time of the conference.)},
