Description: Manchicourt employs an ingenious canon in the two Superius parts: the direction in the source "Sans souspirer ne chantez poinctz" (lit. "without breathing, and don’t sing dots") requires the comes (or ‘follower’) voice to omit minim rests and remove the dot from any dotted notes, the result being that the comes starts four semibreves later but ends the prima pars three-and-a-half semibreves earlier than the dux (and in the secunda pars, five and four semibreves respectively).
