Antiqua (Roman)
Antiqua is used throughout the whole print. The text for the four choruses is given below the musical notation.
Mensural notation
full-length staves: 113 x 11 mm (Mortalium, A4r); 111.5 x 9.5 mm (Digna, B2r); 112 x 10.5 mm (Musis, B3r); 112 x 10.5 mm (Cedant, B4v)
Singriener did not re-use all of the woodblocks from his 1514 (see first and fourth chorus). Compared to the elaborate woodcuts in his first edition the quality of the musical notation in this print is poor. Some of the notes are illegible.
dramatic chorus
Four polyphonic choruses at the end of the first four acts:
1. Mortalium iocunditas (A4r, for three voices)
2. Digna sunt apolline (B2r , for four voices)
3. Musis, poetis, & sacro (B3r, for three voices)
4. Cedant fori contentio (B4v, for three voices)
