- Edition notes: A semi-diplomatic edition. There are some errors in the printed source. The readings of the source are given in the footnotes. The "mensurstrichte" layout is used but the "barlines" between staves indicate rhythmical groupings similar to bars in modern notation. The underlay of the text mostly follows the underlay in the source.
