Le manuscrit Clm 4301 de Bayerische Staatsbibliothek de München a la particularité de conserver tous les hymnes en notation proportionnelle et les autres chants en notation carrée.

Mais ce n'est pas systématique pour les hymnes iambiques:
Voir par exemple, au fo 29r, l'hymne Somno refectis artubus...
I think in this source the main issue is what to count as an upbeat, and (by consequence) which longa should "have" a point. For instance the "a solis ortus", I would be tempted to start that with an upbeat, but treat the first longa (A) as a syncopation.
What I find surprising though is that here all the hymns seem in binary, whilst in French and Italians sources I know of 15th century measured hymns and sequences they always come with a long-short (longa-brevis or brevis-semibrevis) trochaic pattern. This shows in the way many of these chants which have gotten into polyphony.
would be interesting to involve into the discussion the late medieval German notation for monodies - that too "seems" to be measured, but finally it is not - or better: not in a proper way.
Très intéressant! Il y a quelques ambiguïtés dans cette notation, mais il me semble que c'est tout en mesure binaire.
