A circle used to denote 3/4, (and maybe 3/2), which was changed to a broken circle (C) for 4/4, although with 12/4 looking like it would be from the dots, who knows?! – Tim Mar 31 '18 at 15:12

On an older post I was told that there were no bar lines in the Renaissance (piece is from 1437) so the bar lines are for modern composers to find their way around, thx though ^^ – user45165 Mar 31 '18 at 15:15

2I don't think so, these are common signs in Mensurnotation, I just still don't get why there are 4 instead of 1 – user45165 Mar 31 '18 at 14:42
