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 — movements of the 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 easier to index or search for pieces, particularly when the notes' values are unknown. Parsons covered around 15,000 classical, popular and folk pieces in his dictionary. In the process he found out that *UU is the most popular opening contour, used in 23% of all the themes, something that applies to all the genres.

| - O código de Parsons, denominado formalmente como código de Parsons para contornos melódicos, é uma notação simples usada para identificar um trecho musical por meio do movimento melódico — o movimento da altura das notas para cima e para baixo. desenvolveu este sistema para seu livro de 1975, intitulado The Directory of Tunes and Musical Themes. A representação de uma melodia desta maneira torna fácil a indexação ou pesquisa de peças específicas. O livro também foi publicado em alemão em 2002 e reimpresso por Piatkus como The Directory of Classical Themes em 2008. (pt)
- Der Parsons-Code kodiert die relativen Höhenänderungen einer Melodie durch eine einfache Buchstabenfolge. Es werden folgende Zeichen eingesetzt:
* * – erster Ton zur Referenz
* d („down“) – Tonhöhe sinkt
* u („up“) – Tonhöhe steigt
* r („repeat“) – Tonhöhe bleibt gleich Beispiel:Die Melodie von Alle meine Entchen schreibt sich in diesem Code zum Beispiel so: *uuuururrrdurrrddrrrdrdrrrd. Das Sternchen am Anfang ist als Bezugston sehr wichtig. Der Code eignet sich gut, um Werke durch Melodieausschnitte zu identifizieren. Zu diesem Zweck findet er u. a. in der Datenbank Musipedia Verwendung. (de)

- Le code Parsons, inventé en 1975 par Denys Parsons, est un système très simplifié de notation musicale destiné à l'indexation de mélodies. Il n'utilise que trois signes : les lettres U, D et R, respectivement pour Up, Down et Repeat. Une note s'écrit U si elle est plus haute que la précédente, D si elle est plus basse, R si elle est du même niveau. Un astérisque optionnel peut représenter la première note. Le code Parsons est une des méthodes de saisie de Musipedia. (fr)

Das Sternchen am Anfang ist als Bezugston sehr wichtig. Der Code eignet sich gut, um Werke durch Melodieausschnitte zu identifizieren. Zu diesem Zweck findet er u. a. in der Datenbank Musipedia Verwendung. Der Parsons-Code ignoriert Charakteristika wie Rhythmus oder genaue Notenintervalle. Der Parsons-Code der Anfragemelodie muss mit allen Codes der Datenbank verglichen werden. Zum Matching wird die Editierdistanz benutzt. Da man nicht weiß, an welcher Stelle das Melodiefragment auftritt, muss Substring-Matching durchgeführt werden. Erfinder des Codes ist , der ihn in seinem BuchDirectory of Tunes and Musical Themes, Verleger: George Spencer-Brown, 1975, ISBN 3-890-94370-5 erstmals vorstellte. (de)

Une phrase musicale écrite en code Parsons est ambiguë et peut se lire d'une infinité de façons (en particulier, aucune indication de rythme n'est donnée). Cependant, cette méthode d'écriture est très accessible à des non-musiciens et permet, à l'aide d'une base de données convenable, d'identifier facilement un morceau parmi un grand nombre. Le code Parsons est une des méthodes de saisie de Musipedia. (fr)
