One measure of Sayaka's circle's notes
Musical notes were first seen at the end of Episode 5 on something that appears to be a healing circle for Sayaka. The circle consists of three rings, each of which seem to repeat the same note patterns. It remains a mystery whether the notes actually mean something, but many familiar musical symbols have been identified (see tables below). Likewise many inconsistensies have been spotted withing the notation, which has lead to an assumption that the scores are mirrored or indeed just nonsense. As the circles reappeared in episodes 7 and 8 it was confirmed that the notes at least had a definite order since the same patterns were used in all the three episodes.

Sayaka's Healing Circle
There is not much information about this particular score, or if it is a healing circle at all. Named after her self-healing back in Episode 5, it also makes an appearance in the end of Episode 7 when Sayaka battles against a witch. At the beginning of the Episode 8 there is a clear shot of multiple circles.
