I suppose you meant "enciphered" instead of "deciphered". Voynich is anything but deciphered
And what kind of beast this musical algorithm which isn't a notation of music would be?

I performed the calculations to compute the entropy of the height transitions, generating a pivot table based on the four heights I established, with all 16 possible transitions. The entropy is very high, around 3.5, and remains surprisingly stable throughout the entire manuscript, regardless of whether the section is herbal, astrological, balneological, or recipes. This is strange. If it were pure randomness, we would expect the entropy to fluctuate much more from one page to another. Instead, it almost always stays at the same value. What changes between sections are only the transitions involving certain heights, but the overall degree of disorder remains constant. This leads me to think that it is not accidental randomness, but controlled randomness. As if the scribe were following a precise rule, even if not immediately visible something related to the heights, but without ever falling into patterns that are either too random or too regular. A kind of hidden encryption that consistently maintains the same balance between order and disorder across hundreds of pages. It does not seem like the behavior of someone freely writing a normal text. Rather, it seems to be the product of a mechanism or a compositional method governed by well-defined internal rules. Here I have included the full pivot table with the data for the entire manuscript.
This is the data I used to generate the pivot table.
