[VIHUELA] Re: Moravsky Manuscript

I had a bit more time to look at this - I actually have a pdf of it already. It is (or was) in the Moravské zemské muzeum in Brno in the Czech Republic. I don't think we can assume that all the music is by Losy or that all of it was originally composed for guitar. I never had time to look at
