Dear lute netters,

owners of Le Secret des Muses (facsimile, digital facsimile or the old CNRS 
edition) may not have noticed:

In the Courante on page 66 (or No. 54, page 144 in the CNRS edition) I noticed 
a suspicious note in bar 52
(in the original it is stave 5, bar 6)



  |\  |\      |\
  |   |\      |
  |.  |\      |
 _d___c___d___a__
|_a______________|
|________________|
|_c______________|
|_____________c__|
|________________|


The c on the 5th course sounds wrong.
The corresponding bar 36


  |\  |\  |\
  |   |\  |
  |.  |   |
 _d___c___a__
|_a_______c__|
|____________|
|_c__________|
|_________ __|
|____________|


suggests an e instead of the c.
However, divisions in early Baroque Courantes do not always stick to the 
original strain.

Then I noticed that the left hand fingering for the c is a "3" - which is 
nonsense but makes perfect sense for an e.
