Milan uses the "Italian" numbers, but arranges them the same as in French tab, with the top line representing the top course. In other words, Milan's tab is exactly the same as modern guitar tab. (I wonder why more modern guitarists don't just play their pavans straight from the original? They'd find out that Luis actually wrote more than six pieces.) As for myself, I've never understood what the trouble with Italian tab is. Its just a physical re-adjustment of the cyphers. I can easily read consecutive pieces in French or Italian tab from different sources and not even realize I've been doing so until I think about it. German tab is another matter... I really wish I could read the stuff in musical time! I wish someone would come out with a graded tutor dedicated to learning this notation step by step.
