Hi Craig, what's the title of the tabulature?
Usually a dot under letter indicates the right hand fingering (index finger). I guess the "rising lines" are basses (how many lines does the tabulature system have? Early french tabulature often has just 5 lines and the basses an the 6th and 7th course are plavced under the tabulature-system). Hope this helps Thomas Am Son, 2004-05-23 um 17.42 schrieb Craig Robert Pierpont: > Hi List, > I am looking at some tablature and there are some markings I am not sure how to > interpret.
