[LUTE] French ornamentation

[Shaun Ng]

Can someone confirm for me the intentions of the "tiret" in French  
lute ornamentation? Does it refer to a descending appogiatura? Does  
it include any reiterations in a form of a trill. These are the  
actions that I am referring to:



Signifies that it is necessary to pull the string with the finger of  
the left hand.[1]
To pull the string of the left hand after having touched it with the  
right hand once.[2]

[1] Denis Gaultier, Livre de tablature des pi=E8ces de Mr. Gaultier Sr.  
de N=E8ve et de Mr. Gaultier son cousin (Paris, ca.1672): Signifie  
qu'il faut tirer la corde de quelque doigt de la main gauche.

[2] Charles Mouton, Pi=E8ces de luth sur differents modes (Paris, c. 
1680): Pour tirer la corde de la main gauche apres l'avoir touchee de  
la main droitte une fois.

Thanks all!
