If the keyboard player sets his instruments to meantone with the accidentials f sharp, c sharp, g sharp, e flat and b flat and you set the first fret of your lute to have a g sharp on the first course the notes on courses 2-6 will be d sharp, a sharp, f sharp, c sharp, g sharp. Thus, courses 2 and 3 don't match the keyboard on the first fret. If you move the fret up so that courses 2 and 3 are in tune with the keyboard, all other frets are no longer in tune on the first fret. Similiar problem are there for all the frets that have accidentials.
