Well, the third line begins with measure 15, so perhaps it is the CNRS version. However, I don't see any tie-like lines. The only lines I see are alignment lines between the bass and treble (there are some in ms.2,3,4). Maybe it came from a different edition? The version I have is 106 measures long and only calls for a 7th course tuned a whole step below the 6th course. It contains some lovely variations with a nice running bass line in the latter part of the piece. Thanks, -- Ed Durbrow Saitama, Japan http://www9.plala.or.jp/edurbrow/
