Included are the proper bishoprics of Chiemsee, Gurk, Seckau and Lavant. Independent institutions, such as the monastery of St. Lambrecht, were not included in the survey, as they went their own liturgical ways, nor was the monastery of Mattsee, which belonged to the diocese of Passau from 907. On the other hand, the music sources of the Benedictine monastery of Michaelbeuern were included, which, despite its ecclesiastical independence, was liturgically oriented to St. Peter and maintained close exchange with Salzburg. The abundance of material - information on approx. 270 sources was collected - was first divided into music manuscripts, music prints and music theoretical presentations according to the type of source, and then arranged chronologically according to centuries.
