ED notes: Disagreement between Leroquais and Beyssac as to the hymn at compline: Leroquais has Virgo singularis, but Beyssac noted the hymn Fit porta Christi (from the pars hiemalis of the breviary).
Variants: Brussels Ms. 10772 has at compline the hymn Virgo singularis, and the final antiphon Sub tuam protectionem at Nunc dimittis.
