It appears exceptionally (f. 223r, line 2), over the text.

The three dots following this torculus are not a neume since there are no other cases in BL50. Also, BL48 has in the cognate the following neume instead:

The three dots in might indicate that there are three notes in the neume.

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.
