| 031 ‡g F-4 |
| [The incipit uses the bass clef (Plaine and Easie Code).] | |
|
‡m Voice/instrument |
The name of the voice or instrument coded in subfield ‡p. Subfield ‡m is usually in coded form, derived from a controlled list maintained by the cataloging agency. Terms may also be taken from the item being cataloged if there is no appropriate code available.
| 031 ‡m S |
| [RISM code for soprano voice.] | |
|
‡n Key signature |
The key signature of the incipit. The letter x indicates sharps and the letter b indicates flats, followed by capital letters to indicate affected pitches.
| 031 ‡n xFCG |
| [The incipit is in A major with three sharps.] | |
|
‡o Time signature |
The time signature or mensuration sign of the incipit. The time signature may be transcribed as a symbol (for mensural notation use c or c., o or o.; or c for common time, c/ for alla breve) and/or a number (3, 2, c3, etc.) or a fraction (4/4, 12/8, etc.) or nd if marking is not present. Use of subfield ‡o is mandatory if subfield ‡p is present or subfield ‡2 contains either pe or da.

- Letter b indicates flats
- Numbers 1-12 indicate Gregorian modes
| 031 ‡r e |

|
‡s Coded validity note |
A note in coded form on the validity of the information.
- Question mark (?) indicates that there is a mistake in the incipit that has not been corrected
- Plus sign (+) indicates that there is a mistake in the incipit that has been corrected
- Letter t indicates that the incipit has been transcribed (e.g. from mensural notation)
- Exclamation point (!) indicates that the incipit discrepancies have been commented on in subfield ‡q

|
‡t Text incipit |
The literary text (if present) as it appears on the source. It is usually the text corresponding to the music in the incipit. If the source has multiple texts (usually recorded to accommodate contrafactum texts), each corresponding text string is transcribed in a separate occurrence of subfield ‡t. |
|
‡u Uniform resource identifier |
The Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), for example a URL or URN, provides electronic access data in a standard syntax. Use for automated access to an electronic item using one of the Internet protocols. Repeat subfield if digital object has multiple identifiers. URIs usually recorded include audio files (such as .mid, .wav, .mp3), image files (.jpg, .tiff, .gif), or notational files (such as enigma or niff).
| 031 ‡u http://www.classicalmusicarchives.com/cgi-bin/n.cgi/prep/6/ jsbbrc11.mid |
| [A MIDI file of the incipit is located online.] | |
|
Substituting hexadecimal notation for diacritics and special characters in Uniform Resource Identifiers. When recording a URI in subfield ‡u, you may enter most of the spacing characters listed below as either characters or their hexidecimal equivalents. Consult the table below.
Note: Do not confuse the spacing characters listed below with their long-valid non-spacing counterparts. Use of the spacing characters will be limited almost exclusively to URLs.

- Code pe indicates a Plaine and Easie Code
- Code da indicates a DARMS Code
| 031 ‡p '2B4B8BB/4G8GxF4FF/4xA8AA4.At8B/4B ‡2 pe |
