Jason, I just received the CD-rom. WOW!!! This is indeed good news for us vihuela buffs!
Just a suggestion to your problem with accessing the pages consecutively. Simple. Access them from the "imagenes" folder, using another graphics program like ACDSee32. You can then shift pages just by hitting "space". Unfortunately some of the images are difficult to read the text from, (like the mensurally notated songs in Valderrabano. Anyway. This is excellent value, and a format I hope will be applied to further works of interest to us all.

I also think | you cannot size fit taller pages to fit on the computer screen. Maybe I | need to play with it more but it's probably better not to spend a lot of | time reading music from a CRT. The reproductions are very clear. | The really wonderful part about this publication, besides having all of | the main vihuela books, is that the pieces for vihuela and voice are | reproduced in color. You can see the vocal melody notated as red numbers | in the tablature. | | Regards, | Jason Yoshida | | | -----Original Message----- | From: Monica Hall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2004 6:30 AM | To: Stewart McCoy | Cc: lutenet | Subject: Re: Vihuela Songs | | The Charles Jacobs Milan edition was published by Pennsylvania State | U.P. | in | 1971.
