Abstract
An information processing system has a music data base. The music data base stores homophonic reference sequences of music notes. The reference sequences are all normalized to the same scale degree so that they can be stored lexicographically. Upon finding a match between a string of input music notes and a particular reference sequence through an N-ary query, the system provides bibliographic information associated with the matching reference sequence.
