An explanation of low entropy?
#6
The hypothesis that the VMS is a textual representation of a music sheet is an interesting one.
If the manuscript represents a music notation system, the low entropy might be explained by the inherent patterns and repetitions that often exist within music. 
However, there are a few challenges with this idea:    
The Voynich manuscript is highly structured, with illustrations and text arranged in a way that suggests a relationship between the text and images. This structure doesn't readily align with the layout of music sheets, which typically focus on musical notation rather than illustrations and text.     
The VMS includes a variety of illustrations, such as plants, astronomical diagrams, and human figures, that don't seem to have an obvious connection to musical notation.    
 The text in the VMS has been analyzed using various cryptographic techniques, and no clear pattern of musical notation has emerged.     
Throughout history, there have been various forms of musical notation, but the symbols and writing system used in the VMS don't correspond to any known systems. 

While the idea of the Voynich manuscript representing a music sheet is intriguing, the available evidence doesn't strongly support this hypothesis.
