All manuscripts from the Lüneburg convents, including Medingen, with music notation have been catalogued by Ulrike Hascher-Burger in Verborgene Klänge. Inventar der handschriftlich überlieferten Musik aus den Lüneburger Frauenklöstern bis ca. 1550, published by Olms in 2008. Her website musica devota (on a Dutch server in German) offers catalogue entries for the manuscripts. Based on this, Ulrike Volkhardt recorded CDs and published her own takes on the historical sources in a series of music booklets for practical performance. The data-sets from the catalogue are now online with links to the CANTUS database as Musica Devota (on the server of the HMT Rostock in German with a basic English menu).
