This manuscript from the monastery of Melk contains on f. 1 the text of the so-called Melker Marienlied. On the outer edge of this sheet, and perpendicular to the text, one finds two textless voices on three red 5-line staves, in french mensural notation from around 1400, which have nothing to do with the Marian song.
