Incipit

En transcriure música mensural, és útil posar un incipit al començament de la peça per indicar la tonalitat i el compàs originals. Actualment els músics estan acostumats a les línies del pentagrama, però en el període de la música mensural encara no s’utilitzaven. Com a compromís, amb freqüència s’imprimeixen línies divisòries entre els pentagrames, un estil de disseny conegut com mensurstriche.
