Reading the transcriptions
"Triple Proportion is, when 3 Minims ... go to the Semibrief-stroke: 2 to the Fall, and the third to the Rise of the Hand... In both Proportions, the Hand falleth in the same instant; though it rise a little sooner in the Dupla, than in the Tripla: in that [Dupla], when 1/2 in this [Tripla], when 2/3 of the time is past."
(CB.25)

'Ternary measuring of the notes:
of triple proportion': |
(MB. ibid.)
'How is a Tripla recognised?'
'By the number three, which - without any distinction - is sometimes put alone, without any other sign: as "
": and sometimes is put with other signs: as "
" ... But this variety of signs all mean the same measure'
(CD. Bviii)
