Kurzbeschreibung	English: Lewis Lockwood and Arthur Mendel, in current attempts at style analysis of Masses and motets of Josquin Desprez, have used an input language IML and an information-retrieval procedure MIR conceived by Michael Kassler and developed by A.M. Jones, Hubert S. Howe, Jr., Tobias Robinson, and John Selleck. MIR, originally developed for the IBM 7094, is now being adapted to the 360/ 91. Some 1,100 score pages have been keypunched in IML. Despite persistent difficulties in proff reading and debugging, programs have been developed for finding and counting kinds of melodic intervals, mensural and proportional signatures and values, kinds of simultaneities (complete and incomplete triads, etc.), correlations between accented syllables and relatively long, high, or metrically 'strong' notes, etc. Preliminary results applied to the Missa L'homme armé super voces musicales suggest confirmation of suspicions of authenticity of the Et in spiritum. Rigorous definition of musical entities (e.g., 'cadence') is one of the prerequisities that limit or delay the use of computers in musicology. Many important problems can probably never be quantified.
