Hello anyone who can help...
I have come across musical incipits in the following form, example:
C1/1F/HC/1.C5/2C/1C/D/G4/2A/

This seems completely different from the 'standard' form described in several places on the 'net. Can anyone help in decoding this? I'm completely new to incipits, and that said, it may be something useful for others at IMSLP to be aware of, especially as we start gathering otherwise uncatalogued manuscripts from numerous sources...
Many thanks.

Interesting...the incipit is printed just as you have indicated, i.e., no graphical notation?

no graphics ... so far I have concluded...

C1 = C clef on first line (lowest), i.e. soprano clef
1F = probably 1 flat
HC = half common i.e. cut time

but this is far from the standard notation I seen listed here and there.

By the way, changing the topic slightly - is anyone familiar with the RISM (Répertoire International des Sources Musicales), apart from everything else, they have a nice set of standard abbreviations...

(Hmmm... learning all kinds of new things this week, outch! my brain is growing )
