It hadn't occurred to the organizers that this might happen and they ought to have a musicologist or two on the panel as well?

1) Apparently not. Indeed, maybe they wanted to have a panel about French lyric poetry, and not musicology.

2) Hey, the moderator managed after 10 minutes to re-claim the panel from the musicologists. They may have cast the fiercest literature person they had as moderator, for just this eventuality.

3) How would that have helped? That would have moved the possibility of a musicologist or two showing up to the certainty that there's be at least one musicologist in the room. That just moves the panel hijacking from the floor to the front.

No, what they really wanted to do is bribe a musicology organization to have a concurrent Machaut musicology panel in the next room.

You should tell them that next time.
