Exempel på recto

• Since each strip comprises a horizontal section across both sides of a bifolium, it contains music from the verso and recto of a leaf.

• The latter will provide both a verso (including what survives) and a reconstructed recto containing the missing portions of this composition.

• An indication is always given of whether a mark should be viewed from the recto or the verso of a leaf.

• Each sheet contains two folios, recto and verso, but blank folios have been omitted from the totals.

• The recto originally contained rulings for staves 1 and 3-7, out of the twelve possible on the leaf.

• The verso side of the fragment shows more deterioration than the recto side.

• There are fifty-five pages (including the separate title page occupying the opening recto side), all numbered by the library itself.

• This recto evidently was left as a cover page, and its worn condition would indicate that it functioned in that capacity for some time.

• This provides some explanation, at least, of why the directs appear, very unusually, between verso and recto and only in the section where the voice has entered.

• The copy we have obtained does not have any page numbering; it contains two folios, that is four pages, and starts at the recto of a folio.

• The recto side is written in an upright cursive hand and contains a memorandum concerning a lease.

• On the recto it is written in cursive letters.

• The second leaf shews the smooth breathing in its early square form: see line 15 of the recto of the leaf.

• The recto side contains part of a 2nd- or 3rd-century account.

• The recto consequently preserves the top left corner of a right-hand page; while the verso preserves the top right corner of a left-hand page.
