Does anyone know of a software in which it is (relatively) easy to create (or re-create) 11th century music notation that uses neumes?

Cantorum, a text font for plainchant notation Dorico

Cantorum (formerly MusChant) is a font that allows the user to easily input plainchant rotation into Dorico using simple combinations of letters and numbers.
