No - it should be "note". A standard incipit has all the rests
leading to
the first note, but just the first note alone.
Beg to differ. See for example
<URL:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mensural_notation#mediaviewer/File:Josquin_Domine_ne_in_furore.svg>.
It's usually the first bar or half bar, but enough that every voice has
at least one actual note.

TBH I've sung from a lot of music with incipits and have never seen more
than one note: finding a sole example on Wikipedia from an author who does
not appear to have a username isn't categorical!
However, Grove says "A 'melodic incipit' or 'musical incipit' is the opening
fragment of music" and Oxford Music Online has "The preliminary staff in
modern editions of early music, giving the original clefs and time and key
signatures, the opening note or notes in their original notation, and
occasionally the range of the part", so probably a sound update would be to
replace "note" with "note or notes". I'll do this before pushing: it's not
worth an updated patch.
