Also of note for Renaissance cittern-philes is something Doc Rossi
already posted on the cittern Ning site: The Nanki library's copy of
Robinson's New Citharen Lessons is available on-line and contains
unique manuscript additions, probably from the mid-1620s.

I don't see the mss available yet, but 500 printed works should keep
us happy for a while.

Quite a lot of typical English guitar music (simple arrangements of
songs) here in the 'Collection of English Secular Songs and some
instrumental pieces' n-7 (16).
Some are simply the tune transposed to C or F, some are more
elaborate, and some are duets.
The song is given first in full, with harmony and then in
arrangement for guittar/guitar sometimes also for, or as well as,
German flute. Some pieces go up to 10th fret (so presumably not
intended for a capo) but I'd guess they were sung with voice
doubling.
