Notes:
CCCC MS 253 In an article on the practices of scribes in writing music mss, notes that in CCCC MS 253, f. 138v, the three line stave used for ’Interni festi gaudia’ is often insufficient to accommodate the range of the melody, and therefore the scribe writes several pitches above the top stave-line without additional lines. He changes in part to a four line stave to accommodate the top notes, p. 49
