Thank you for this.
I think the same general query applies to modern players too - what
evidence have you for your assertion that all experienced players can
transpose tablature on sight?

Oh dear, is my English that bad?

Did I speak of early lute players? No, I wrote 'experienced player'.
That would include early as well as not so early lute players, as long
as they are experienced. I'm a not so early lute player and I've
accompanied a few lute songs in my time, so, just for the sake of
argument, let's consider me experienced. I can transpose an
intabulated lute song accompaniment on sight. Next part of your
question. Did I say we shouldn't discuss matters? No, I wrote that if
transposing on sight is a common skill, there is no need to write out
parts and there is no need to write about the skill of transposing on
sight.
And now I've got myself into trouble, because I just wrote about
something for which I didn't see the need to write ... what shall I
do?
And once again, I do apologise for my bad English, so sorry.
David
