What shape were neumes?

It depends what kind of neumes you are talking about. The most common, and latest developed type of neumes were rectangular or square (as opposed to modern notes, which are oval or round). The square neumes were the kind that were written on a staff. Before they existed, however, there were "in campo aperto neumes", which literally means "in an open field". This means there was no staff, and they were just kind of free floating. Those looked more like old fashioned short hand than anything else. They gradually developed into the square neumes.
