Upright format, 375 x 260 mm. Fascicle of 4 nested bifolios, with an additional folio (f. 6) pasted to f. 5v; 9 folios in total. Foliation was added in March 2003, and will not be visible in microfilms made before that date. Unused ruled staves on ff. 1v, 6r and 8v-9v. Annotations of f. 1r by Havergal (in pencil) and York Powell (in ink).
