Yes, I agree. But on the other hand we rely on publishers like Albert
(Tree) and others taking the effort to publish for us. I wouldn't like
to write to all possible libraries and ask them for copies (I did as I
started and the results were - say interesting - Berlin for example

Dear Michael,
I don't think there is any kind of conspiracy to prevent those of us with
an interest in original sources of music to obtain copies. I don't have a
vast experience of this, but I have not failed so far to obtain either a
microfilm or print of unpublished sources that I have been
This is a really good point, and one that I'm starting to agree with the more I
dig into this mess. I can't see how anyone publishing lute books can be making
a profit and paying the full license fees to the owner -- unless they are doing
it under the guise of an academic publication. I've heard
Dear Denys, and all,
I have zero experience in examining original lute manuscripts. I do
have some experience however in looking at lutes in collections in some
museums. In examining a particular lute once, the curator asked me to make
copies of all my info. measurements etc. and leave it
Hi Jason -
How about looking at library fees as your contribution to keeping
the music that you love alive? Libraries are facing tough times now.
The people who work making microfilms aren't getting paid a lot of money,
and the directors of the library are getting pressured to cut services

Hi Michael,
Sure, it's good to have the original to hand. But if it means keying-in =
a
load of tablature, having an on-line resource can be a big help.
As the years roll by we need something more legible to play from! =
That's my
excuse anyway.
Interesting thread on copyrights at the moment
Wayne,
Good point, but once you pay the library their fee which I have no
problem with, haven't we done our share? It's now our responsibility to make
the music available to the world through printed scores and performance.
Once we pay the fee, we should be free to do what we want with it.
Dear Jon,
I keep all messages to the list in a separate folder. If I arrange
them by sender, I can count them easily.
Best wishes,

Sorry to but in, but I've just seen this message, though being new to the
circle missed the start of the conversation. Is it in fact possible to use guitar
strings on a lute, at least as far as the higher strings are concerned (the
upper G-string, the two D-strings)? I've wondered about that in

I meant the MSS, not the owners. ;-)

Mmm... I don't think that such things as guitar strings and lute strings
exist as real entities, but only as marketing packages. Strings are made of
a certain material in different diameters and in different qualities. There
is not only quite a lot of opinion as to what is correct, but quite a

These are the ones that definitely wouldn't work, unless your lute is made
out of concrete. A
Thank you for your response. My original inquiry was, and subsequent
inquiries are, based on pure naive curiosity. I appreciate your effort in
replying.
I regret the flogging of a dead (decomposing?) horse, but I must answer your

Dear Fred,
I like your style. You seem to be a refreshing voice in the wilderness.
You asked...Can a publishing company declare sole publishing/performance

I don't know the answer to that legally, but I can say with a fair
