Han (Hahn), Ulrich (known as Udalricus Gallus)
Han (Hahn), Ulrich (known as Udalricus Gallus), German music printer; b. Ingolstadt, c. 1425; d. Rome, after 1478. He is believed to be the first to print music with movable type, in his Missale secundum consuetudinem curie romane (Rome, 1476). In this work the double- process method was employed, i.e., 2 impressions were made; first, the lines of the staff were printed, then the note forms (mostly square black heads with a stem at the right side) were superimposed over them.
