Line 1: {{no footnotes\|date=March 2017}} {{primary sources\|date=March 2017}} The '''Parsons code''', formally named the '''Parsons code for melodic contours''', is a simple notation used to identify a piece of music through [[melodic motion]]—the motion of the [[pitch (music)\|pitch]] up and down. [[Denys Parsons]] developed this system for his 1975 book ''[[The Directory of Tunes and Musical Themes]]''. Representing a melody in this manner makes it easy to index or search for particular pieces.
