Stylometry and Automatic Attribution of Medieval Liturgical Monodies

While automatic attribution of literary text as well as stylometry evaluation are nowadays well-established research areas, much less has been done in the field of musicology. Here we present the results of the implementation of an automatic stylometric attribution technique to a corpus of liturgica...
