Italic, Antiqua (Roman), Text printed from woodcut

Woodcuts are quite neatly done; mensural notation with fine lines and relatively regular.
Most woodcuts are „normal“ black lines. Some, however, are printed inverse (white lines on black background), for example, note values on E6r.
Gymnich also uses individual note signs in the text (woodcut or type?).
