[#] indicates that the piece is very popular and can be found in many sources
[m] means that the piece was taken from handwritten score (the early copying machines required originals on transparent or semi-transparent paper, so many choir conductors in Poland were forced to rewrite the music on such media before copying).
If the piece appears in two or more publications, the first number indicates the source that the MIDI file was actually sequenced from.

The list is far from complete, but will be updated over time.
