Thanks for all the info, Peter. I actually played several ren. guitar pieces on cittern when I used to play ren cittern regularly. Some of it sat pretty well, especially one of Morlaye's settings of Conde Clare. It made me wonder why so much of the cittern rep is so dull compared to the guitar rep. It is a crazy tuning for melody, but some things do work well. It got to the point where I preferred the a g d' e' tuning, which is handy as that's the one I've got to use now. By the way, I took Bermudo at his word one day and arranged some guitar music for the 18th-century tuning c e g c' e' g' - that works very well, too, if one chooses wisely. Remember that Kremberg says if you want to play his 5-c guitar tab on a 5-c cittern, just tune appropriately. He uses something like 7 different tunings, too.
