Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

Argh, blackletter. Caroligian Minuscule was a legible hand. Insular, too. But a couple hundred years after they had those perfectly reasonable scripts ... somebody had to invent Fraktur. *sigh*

I'm trying to read something from a book that uses a lot of Fraktur or some similar blackletter typeface. Any Latin or French or Italian name or word -- or Roman numerals -- got set in an almost modern-looking, very clear typeface, but everything that's German text or organ tabulature is in blackletter. I think I'm okay on the lowercase -- I'm sure this snippet:

is "c d e d c h c h a g" (well, c-overbar, d-overbar, etc. -- the overbars mean "an octave higher", and the octave seems to start on H (b-natural) though I think I've spotted inconsistencies in that). But I could use a sanity-check on uppercase, since I'm looking at strings that aren't words. With that in mind, am I correct in reading this:

as "c G c d e d e d e f"? That second letter looks awfully B-ish, but it's not actually a B, right? And this:

is "f d e f g e f g   c G A h c h c h A h"? Or are those uppercase H, since they appear to be larger than the h in the first snippet? (I tried to make all these snippets the same scale, not zooming at all between screengrabs, but I'm not entirely sure converting from TIFF to PNG in Preview preserved that.) Though if those really are H instead of h, I think I'm going to treat that as a typo because jumps of a diminished ninth are out of character for the rest of the piece.

If you're interested in what the thing I'm snipping these strings from looks like, here's three measures worth:

The piece all these are from is "Da bei rami" by Clémentine de Bourges, taken from Ein schön nutz unnd gebreüchlich Orgel Tabulaturbuch (Jacob Paix, 1583, Getruckt bey Leonhart Reinmichel, Lauingen, Germany). That PDF is huge, but I have a smaller file containing just the cover and the pages for this tune. I'm just about finished transcribing it into standard modern notation (by way of ABC), but for proofreading the notes that go down into the uppercase octave and getting confirmation that this:

really does mean "[triplet: c# b-natural c#] [triplet: d c-natural d]", which so far has been the only sense I've managed to make of it. (What resembles an 'ae' ligature is, I'm pretty sure, a 'c' followed by the 'sharp' curlicue. Elsewhere there are what look like 'fe' ligatures that pretty much have to be f-sharps.) And that I'm putting my b-naturals in the correct octaves. So I guess in addition to somebody unfazed by Fraktur, I could use input from somebody who reads mensural notation.
