Ed, I asked Paul O'Dette at the LSA seminar last month about the general ratio between dances, fantasies/ricercars and intabulations in the 16th century. He put it at about one third for each. Sean

Also, I am looking for statistics (estimates really) of how many tabs there are and could have been and how many songs with in tabulation there are. I've heard that outside of the piano and possibly violin there is more lute music than for any other instrument. I want to back that up. If you could point me to some research or quotes somewhere on the Internet, I would be much obliged. Thanks in advance.
