You're welcome, Bill! Doesn't take much to make you happy, does it!?<g>
Often in early tablatures, the bar lines mark off the tactus. And it seems each step takes a tactus. In Arbeau, the opening Long, short short notes are barred like this: [Cslash] L | S S | S S | L | etc. If you use Luis Milan's first pavan, the first phrase of eight measures (that is, eight tactus) should be repeated. I think Jacob Heringman gets it just right. His tempo is about one tactus to MM 60. When you get tired of pavans, you can always try the quadrille.<g> I recall one is danced to a Sousa march.
