- The B minor saraband is written with only F sharp in the key signature. C is usually left unsharpened.
- John Mercure was a lutenist, probably French, who in 1641 was appointed to a post at the English court which had fallen vacant on the death of Robert Dowland. Compositions by Mercure appear in a number of keyboard manuscripts.
- An exceptional example of an earlier keyboard piece in B is William Tisdale's Pavana Chromatica in the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book, which also contains an anonymous almain (no. CCXXVII) in E. Benjamin Cosyn began his virginal book (British Library MS R.M. 23.1.4), dated 1620, with his own prelude in E.

Granger, ‘Ayleward, Richard’, The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians (London, 1980), i, 755. There is no foundation for Granger's suggestion that some of the manuscript keyboard pieces with Ayleward's name attached are by an earlier composer.
- Ph.D. Dissertation, University of Manchester, 1989, i, 135. The printed volumes Courtly Masquing Ayres (1662) and Musicks Hand-maide (1663) are exceptions: see Table 2. Ayleward's pieces are also likely to have been written after 1660.

- There are some textual differences, the pieces do not appear in the same order, and the earlier layer of MS 1040 may have been completed before Musicks Hand-maide was published. The Golden Grove seems to have been copied from a source which associated it with the corant that follows it in MS 1040 and the two Christ Church manuscripts.
