Does anyone know the significance of the first page of the ML book? It's
all 0's on a tab staff and appears to be variations of arpeggiation. The

A right hand exercise?
That's not a tab staff. It is a 6 line mensural staff with a bass clef
on the third line, and the "O"s are whole notes. The top line is middle
C and the bottom, line is G. It is variations on the C major scale.
