A fragment of "lost" music found in the pages of Scotland's first full-length printed book is providing clues to what music sounded like five centuries ago.

Scholars from Edinburgh College of Art and KU Leuven in Belgium have been investigating the origins of the musical score—which contains only 55 notes—to cast new light on music from pre-Reformation Scotland in the early sixteenth-century.
