In this work, the elements necessary for digitally encoding music contained in manuscripts from the centuries 16th to 17th are introduced. The solutions proposed to overcome the difficulties that generate some of the aspects that make this notation different from the modern Western notation are presented. Problems faced are, for example, the absence of bar lines or the duration of notes that are based on the context. The new typographic font “Capitán”, created specifically to represent this type of early notation, is also presented.
