Printed notes and staves. Unlike in the 1494 edition (vdm 1081), the staves here have a double margin on right and left.
Space is left in the staff for major initials, which are printed in red; initials for versicles etc are printed in black over the staves.
The title woodcut is printed in five colours. It is possible that the canon woodcut is also printed in colour (more copies need to be checked).
The Agnus Dei woodcut (r4v) is printed only in red and black.
Overlapping of notes and text (e.g. 128r, system 9) shows that the notes and the text were printed in separate impressions.
