The interesting thing is that typically he has a two part movement with repeats for both parts and then does the sua spezzata also with what look like repeat marks. First, I find it an interesting contrast to say, Galilei who writes out a strain and then writes it stille brise without even a double bar line, then treats the B section the same way. Second, I just noticed that the "repeat" marks at the end of the piece are in exactly the same form with dots on the side where there is no music, that is: two dots, two lines, two dots :||: So, I'm wondering if these are indeed repeat marks. cheers, -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
