Howard,
I agree with everything you said, totally. That is exactly my practice
with fret placement. slightly diminish the 2nd 4th frets, for
renaissance tuning.
Well stated!

All good stuff Stewart, but does it apply to the 'baroque' guitar? As has
already been pointed out, the use of 'alfabeto' moveable chord shapes impies
equal temperament (or near).
In particular, the M, N and H chords frequently occur in Italian printed
collections using all frets

I think you should join the main lute list and ask the question there
too. There have been many discussions about temperaments and (I think
they're called) tastini on lutes and theorbos.
Tastini is the word I was trying to think of. I'm reluctant to join the
lute list as you get so many

Dear Monica
I play meantone temperament on my baroque guitar in continuo once in a
while. I have a high first fret (f, c and b-flat) and use an extra first
fret (a small tastini, actually) in a lower position for g#-sharp. E-flat or
d-sharp depending on tonality high or low. It's akward,
