Description | Collection of ruled notebooks with manilla paper or cloth covers containing music of folk songs recorded in solfa notation with words, generally of first verse only, in longhand and notes on entries in shorthand; each song appears to have been transcribed elsewhere, perhaps in MS 786, and entries are scored through in pencil; there are various reference marks on each item indicating whether or not more words are available (see note at end of MS 998/5/3). |
