NOTES to the Index:

- Psalms and verses appearing without music in the manuscript are shown in italics. However, their musicalization can always be inferred from:

• a) the accompanying differentia (code added to the corresponding index entry): this is the case for most psalms (PS). However, model of declamation of a few psalms (eg. PS post Cor contritum, 4r) -and also for declamative verses of lauda (LDS) Defunctorum animas (17r)- are presented as fully written melodies -for these cases we also extracted a plausible differentia;
• b) from a first verse (V) set to music: this is the default case for poetic forms (Hymns, Abicidaria), although some of them appear with all verses explicitly set to music (eg. Germine nobilis Eulalia, 36r).

- There are no explicit modal assignments for pieces in the manuscript. However, we assigned a mode for antiphons -and for declamative Defunctorum animas (17r)- based on the implicit or explicit differentias encoded.

- Abbreviations of musical genres follow the codes that appear in the SEMM database. To those codes we added here the abbreviation ANT~ for those chants that, being annotated and/or occupying the liturgical place of an antiphon (ANT), appear accompanied by verse/s (V) instead of the expected psalm (PS). Unlike non-musical entries in the index (Orac., Prop.), abbreviations of proper musical genres appear in full capitals.

- Despite being labeled as a responsory (RS) in Cantoral IV, we kept for Requiem aeternam in folio 22v the antiphonal classification appearing in Breviarium, 313v, a genre assignation also supported by the declamative musical style used.
