N:NB1 Only notes are entered.  There is no clef, no key signature and no time signature.
N: Assuming key=G major (not G Mixolydian), 3/2 as barred, with top staff treble and bottom staff bass.
N:NB2 Tempo added
N:NB3 This note is stemless (i.e. whole note) in the MS.  But the cluster above it has a stem.
N:NB4 This two-note cluster has a stem in the MS, unlike the two notes in the treble staff.
N:NB5 This appears to be incomplete.  The tune might be AABA.
N:NB6 One time through the A strain added here for resolution.
M:3/2 % no time signature in MS, but barring is 3/2
Q:"NB2" 1/2=160
L:1/4
