I had no idea most musicologists believed that.
Holmes' cadential doodlings are visible on the
unused pages (well, slightly used, I guess).
Souping up Dowland was a cottage industry of sorts.
The mss are remarkable well preserved, no doubt
due to the frosty peat bog temperature of CUL.
Other than the "drive by" holograph of Farewell
Fancy, the source is not a great source in that
it shows signs, like many lute books,
of rewriting the material with formula ornaments,
for which one can reconstruct a missing tutor similar to Italian sources.
Dowland's holograph provides, ironically, the
maximum contrast with the Holmes mss.
Dowland's Lachrimae, almost always recorded and
performed with the mistake in the second bar, is
the classic example of lutebook acculturation.
Dowland's Piper's Galliard, from Francisque, is the classic missing source.
Dowland's LoST is the best source, as it contains
the counterpoint keys to unlock the other sources.

Any evidence?

Please elaborate. Most musicologists still
believe that the Holmes manuscripts are the most
important sources for Dowland's (and Holborne's
and Cutting's and Johnson's ...) music.
