woodcut

Antiqua (Roman), Textura

red type on title page

The first musical example (A5r) is a full-page woodcut, where all the lines including the text were cut into wood in one block. On other occasions there are single lines of musical examples with the text set underneath from type.(A5v, for example).
The music notes are rather large and crudely cut.
The music for three voices is cut with one voice underneath the other, almost giving an impression of scoring. The woodcut with ligatures (B4r) is particularly messy.
In the woodcut the staff, notes and text are printed together.
