Dear Martyn If you had taken the trouble to read the message that I sent to the list on 31st January you would know what my conclusions about this manuscript were. There is no need for me to clarify my position further and I do not believe you are interested in composing a constructive reply.
It seems that all you are interested in is bullying someone who disagrees with you by misrepresenting what they have said and by posting offensive personal comments about them to as many people as you can. As far I am concerned the matter is now closed. Monica Dear Monica, Your earlier message of 31 Jan is, in fact, below - simply scroll down to find it...... Rather than this Trumpesque bluster and obfuscation would you now please simply and, is it too much to hope, politely answer the direct question put to you. As carefully explained, this will provide you with the opportunity to properly clarify your precise position over the instruments required for the pieces in this MS and will then enable a constructive reply to be composed. Here's the relevant question again: '- as I understand it from what you have written, your position is that the vast majority (about 98%) of the some 124 works for plucked instruments in this MS are for a six course gytarra and that just three are for a mandora (according to you a twelve course instrument with five fingered courses and seven free basses - you stated that "The mandora has seven unstopped basses" )' Is this still a correct statement of your position? regards Martyn To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
