Footnotes
| E1: | There is evidently some confusion in the musical notation of this cantiga between .on .e .e and .on .o .o and .o .e .e at the start of each phrase. For a simple and consistent ternary rhythm, however, the first of these three sequences seems to be required in all cases, so I would suggest replacing the others wherever they occur. Anglés makes essentially the same observation in a footnote to his original 1943 transcription, but in neither that transcription itself nor in the alternative one that he provided in the 1958 studies (volume III-2) does he follow what seems, to me, to be his own good advice. |
| E2: | This flat is missing from the refrain in [E] but is present in the vuelta below. |
| E3: | This final note is missing from the manuscript, so I have copied the one from the end of the refrain, which can just about be seen in the manuscript crashing into the decorated capital C at the start of the first stanza. (Perhaps the music scribe was copying what he'd written earlier and didn't spot it.) |

Estimated performance times
| Average syllables / min. | Time | |
|---|---|---|
| Very slow | 50 | 17:36 |
| Slow | 100 | 8:48 |
| Medium | 150 | 5:51 |
| Fast | 200 | 4:24 |
| Very fast | 250 | 3:31 |
These are very approximate total times for a full sung (or spoken) performance of all stanzas with all repeats of the refrain. Note that the speed is in average syllables per minute, and no particular mensural interpretation is assumed. More ornamented music will reduce the syllabic speed considerably. Remember also to add time for instrumental preludes, interludes and postludes.
Total syllables: 880
