The stars without tails are found on f103r, f103v, You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (one bifolio) and on f111v, where there are also a number of cases with tails.
That is four out of 23 pages, meaning (rough estimate): 17% without tails, 83% with tails.
With this, an 86% success rate may easily be achieved just by chance.
More importantly, any text property that varies according to this bifolio split will strongly correlate with the appearance of tails. That is: if such a text property exists. The recent work by Colin Layfield, presented by Lisa, suggests that it does.
A meaningful measure of success would come from how well the paragraphs on f111v match, but this is unfortunately a small sample.
Still, there are some interesting questions related to the distribution of stars with/without tails.
