Description: Retrieving music pieces based on their content is a growing area of research in the field of database management. This paper addresses the challenge of flexible musical score retrieval based on melodic patterns, offering two contributions. First, it introduces a theoretical framework that leverages fuzzy logic to enable flexibility. The approach allows a user to define fuzzy tolerance thresholds for pitch, duration, and sequencing, and returns ranked answers that "more or less" match a given pattern, offering both explainability and customization. Second, it presents MAELIS, an implementation of this framework as an extension of the CYPHER graph-pattern query language. MAELIS is integrated inside the SKRID platform, a digital library that stores musical scores of folk music from the French region of Brittany.
