Ancient notation template – modern transcription of mensural
music
When transcribing mensural music, an incipit at the beginning of the piece is useful to indicate
the original key and tempo. While today musicians are used to bar lines in order to faster
recognize rhythmic patterns, bar lines were not yet invented during the period of mensural
music; in fact, the meter often changed after every few notes. As a compromise, bar lines are
often printed between the staves rather than on the staves.
