But that wikipedia quote doesn't speak about _printed_ tablatures, and for tablature in general that statement is simply absurd. BTW (and probably off topic) - I often heaed that statement about copperplate engraving beeing so expensive. What actual evidence do we have? Lower possible volume might be one factor (but where lute prints ever high-volume merchandise?).
