Description of the notation: 

The notation on fol. 76v-80 has two layers; the earlier, with Exultet iam angelica turba etc., records a tone for the Blessing of the Candles that has been replaced by another in the more recent layer. After fol. 77v the earlier layer remains unscathed except for a change of clef, from C to F.
