Mus. Ms. Lynar B 3 is written in [[New German Tablature Notation]], but the two pieces by M. W. C. B. M. have some haphazard part-writing in the accompanying voices, and frequent changes in the number of voices (such as an addition of a fifth voice at cadences in ''O Mensch, bewein dein Sünde Groß''). One particularly egregious example of this is the end of ''O Mensch, bewein dein Sünde groß'', in which the bass and tenor appear to move in parallel fifths. Based on the vertical alignment of the notes, the alto appears to become the ''quintus'' (a term used by [[Klaus Beckmann]] to refer to the middle of five voices<ref>[[Klaus Beckmann|Beckmann, Klaus]] (editor). ''Dietrich Buxtehude: Sämtliche Orgelwerke, Band I-II''. Wiesbaden, Breitkopf & Härtel, 1997. 104.</ref>) resulting in an incorrect handling of the leading tone.
The first piece is a chorale setting of ''Vater unser in Himmelreich'' in three verses. The second and third variations are [[Bicinium|Biciniums]] with the [[Cantus firmus]] in the bass and treble respectively. One aspect of note is that the third verse is succeeded by "Verte.", suggesting that the piece is incomplete (as ''verte'' is typically an instruction to the player to turn the page to continue the piece{{Citation needed}}). The second piece is an example of the practice of ornamenting the cantus firmus, and it is dated 1628.
