In 1968 it was announced that three marble inscriptions measuring 120 × 60 cm. and bearing vocal and instrumental notation, being part of an unknown drama 'mit monodischer Partitur der Dramenmusik', had been found in the remains of a third-century BC theatre at Dionysopolis (Balchik) in Bulgaria; but nothing further was ever heard of them, and experts on the region have no knowledge of the discovery.

Where there are gaps in the text or breaks between fragments, this is indicated by a wavy line crossing the stave. In places where notes are lost but the rhythm is known, it is indicated either by headless crotchet- or quaver-tails or by metrical symbols written in the bars. Where on the other hand the pitch of a note is known but not its duration, it appears as a tailless head ( ). |
