The main publishing focus of the Institute is on critical academic publications of the monuments of Slovenian music in the series Monumenta artis musicae Sloveniae (MAMS). Selections in the anthology include compositions dating from the Renaissance to the present. Fifty-six editions of the main series plus three volumes of Supplementa have been published since 1983. The bilingual collection is compiled by researchers and external collaborators of the Institute, along with other invited authors. The first editor of the collection was Dragotin Cvetko. The co-editor during the years 1986–1993 was Danilo Pokorn, who after 1993 edited the collection himself. Ivan Klemenčič was the chief editor from 1996 to 2004 and Tomaž Fanagel from 2005 to 2008. In 2009 Metoda Kokole has been nominated for that position. The Institute of Musicology publishes the series with financial support of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Slovenia and the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts, and in collaboration with the music setting company AccordiA d.o.o.

The series includes the entire monumental opus of Jacobus Handl – Gallus (21 volumes), and opera omnia by a number of earlier composers whose works are part of the Slovenian musical heritage: Wolfgang Striccius, Jurij [Georg] Prenner, Gabriel Plavec [Plautzius] and Janez Krstnik Novak (all published in single volumes), Daniel Lagkhner, Jakob Frančišek Zupan (2 volumes each), Isaac Posch (4 volumes), Janez Krstnik Dolar (5 volumes) and Gabriello Puliti (7 volumes). Published within the Monumenta artis musicae Sloveniae were also volumes with selected compositions by Amandus Ivančič (2 volumes), Leopold Ferdinand Schwerdt, Venceslav Wratny (both composers have 3 volumes each), František Josef Benedikt Dusík (1 volume), Matej Babnik (1 volume) and Benjamin Ipavec (1 volume). Publication of the opus of these composers will continue. Volume 51 is dedicated to Giacomo Gorzanis as the first out of four planned volumes of his opera omnia containing all preserved works by this composer.
