First of all, thanks for the comments on the subject of  lute tablature in 
a modern edition.

Two more questions on pieces from Vecchi's "Selva" (several voices and lute 
in some pieces, 1590):
- In at least one of the pieces, the lute tablature if read in G is a third 
too high. Were there any lutes a third lower (in E) at that time in 
Northern Italy? If not, how does one interpret this?
- What to the little dots below certain numbers in the tablature mean? From 
the musical context, I'd understand them as indications to hold the 
preceding chord while adding the note in question.

Thanks,

Dennis
