In addition to historical manuscripts of all different music, the Ratsbucherei, Luneburg, contains a large collection of manuscripts written in New German Tablature Notation. This collection, referred to as the Luneburg Tablatures has stood as one of the cornerstones of North-German early organ music since the 19th century. Along with other collections such as the Lynar Tablatures and Zellerfeld Organ Tablatures, it transmits a large percentage of organ music from this time period, including many pieces (and even composers) that are not found in any other manuscript.

History
The collection of manuscripts at Lüneburg were some of the first manuscripts of early music known to musicologists. As early as 1827, the collection of manuscripts was mentioned by A. Martini[1].
K. N.
All of the Lüneburg Tablatures which are of interest to organ musicologists have a signature of form Mus.ant.pract. K. N. 209, etc. The manuscripts were originally known only by the "K. N." signature, the Mus.ant.pract. classifier was added later. The K. N. signatures must have been applied in the 19th century; apparently, the meaning of "K. N." has been forgotten[2]. Mus.ant.pract. refers to manuscripts before 1850 (as opposed to Mus.pract.)[3].
