You seem to conflate "I have heard, concede many of your points, but am not yet convinced of your conclusion and remain open to other possibilities" with "I have heard, you are wrong, and my disapproval constitutes an attack on your person." The former represents my intent and is what I consider to be appropriately skeptical. The latter in no way represents my intent, makes a positive assertion that would assume a burden of proof that I have no interest in fulfilling, and would constitute inappropriate cynicism.
Carry on with my well wishes. I look forward to hearing word of the publication.

I have decided to post this anyway.... (this is for you, Gene!) 100% match. No excuse for "coincidence". This is consciously planned to the detail. About choosing the point of alignment: it is always the beginning or the ending, depending what piece is longer. I never cheat. This also confirms my hypothesis that John Dowland was the key distributor of Ragas.... Has anybody wondered where the "Blue notes" in English music come from? Now you know. Whoever played this had great intuition. Maybe he's on the list and recognizes his playing. (I pitched the lute higher though...) Now you know also about the true tempo to play Dowland.
