Dear Eric > I am glad to hear you can read the facsimile tablature in the Matthew > Spring edition, your eyesight must be better than mine!
Small print , indeed. But many years of reading whatever they put on my music stand in whatever light is provided in the concert venues does help. ;-) But I see your point. I would transcribe too, if would play them in concert. > arrangements and decided to convert my Sibelius staff notation files > to tablature in order to provide a readable version for lutenists. That is a bit of a pain, isn't it? Sibelius has some bugs (or are they features?) in the tablature, notably with the rhythm signs. > better.) BTW anyone looking to use Matthew Spring's grand staff > transcriptions to play the pieces should bear in mind they do contain > some editorial alterations. These are explained in his preface but, Actually, I do play from these trancsriptions, also because they make good practice in seldomly visited keys. They should perhaps have had some sort of fingering marks indicating on what string the contentious notes are to be played, so it would be clear from the staff notation, too, where the problems with the first string are. Anyway, good luck with your efforts. They will be apprectiated by many, me included.
