After studying the problem in all its detail, I concluded that, contrary to standard opinion, the cantigas d'amigo are metrically regular, and that the strophic form of many poems had been wrongly analysed.
Most of these melodies have a simple binary structure (for example, aabb, each segment having the same length, like two or four measures) that may be repeated several times, more than often "perpetually varied," in a strophic form (as in aabb-a'a'b'b).
