Edition notes: Note values halved, written pitch retained. Many obvious errors in the source have been corrected, which are indicated by smaller notes in the edition. If the repeat sign in the Contra tenor is observed, the part is too long; if not, it clearly does not fit with the other parts. Thus, some of the Contra tenor part has been omitted, about two breves worth in bar 14. The Contra tenor has been left untexted to reflect the source.
