For most modern editions folks seem to want French tab. Fine, but vihuela music always looks strange in it. When Dick put out his Valderabano book last year he made a few copies in Italian. It seems 'more at home' to my eye. The chances are slim but I wouldn't mind a modern Borono or Spinacino book in Italian. The A-R Terzi book is in Italian and so is Arthur Ness' Francesco. Sean Smith

Imagine a modern edition (i.e. not a facsimile) of Italian pieces for voice(s) and lute. Would present-day lutenists prefer to find Italian tab as in the original, or to have this translated in the more common French tab?
