-When transcribing mensural music, an incipit at the beginning of the
-piece is useful to indicate the original key and tempo. While today
-musicians are used to bar lines in order to faster recognize rhythmic
-patterns, bar lines were not yet invented during the period of
-mensural music; in fact, the meter often changed after every few
-notes. As a compromise, bar lines are often printed between the
-staves rather than on the staves.
