Updating it yet again - I keep getting interrupted - but the tuning chart seems to indicate that the 5th course is tuned in unison with the third course stopped at the 2nd fret which would make it re-entrant. Monica

The pieces on p.50-61 seem to require an unstopped 6th course and one piece on p.91 requires 5 open corse. On p.97 there is a table of alfabeto chords and a tuning chart apparently for 5-course guitar. ----Original Message---- From: mjlh...@tiscali.co.uk Date: 04/01/2018 9:48 To: "VihuelaList"<vihuela@cs.dartmouth.edu> Subj: [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 all the pieces - about 50 pages of them. Maybe one day.

One piece that mentions “Logi”.
