2. To indicate, that two words are not in the right place (placed under each of these words), e.g. 184r
3. , , Bâtonnets, e.g. 147r, 14r, 92v

5. Over text using the same ink as text (not as neumes), but not clear what the meaning is (only seen on f. 29r)

Footnotes

  1. Melodic reading resulting from recent studies carried out by Dr Francisco M. Camas for the ERC-funded project RESOUND. These studies compare BL50 chants with diastematic cognates. I am grateful to Dr Camas for sharing the preliminary results of his work prior to its publication. I also thank Dr Paloma Gutiérrez del Arroyo, also from the RESOUND project, for discussing the melodic readings of these neumes with Dr Camas and me.
  2. Francisco M. Camas’s comparative work suggests that some gapped NHLLL shapes could stand for NSLLL.
