Dear Richard, Presumably he didn't have an 11th fret, so his 11th fret is our 12th, if you see what I mean. :-)
A similar thing happens, if I remember right, in the Holmes MSS in Cambridge, where the letter "m" is used for the 12th fret. Best wishes, Stewart McCoy. -----Original Message----- From: Richard Yates [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 27 January 2009 03:06 To: 'lute-cs.dartmouth.edu' Subject: [LUTE] Melchior Neusidler Why does M. Neusidler (Intabolatura di Liuto, 1566) uses the symbol 'X' for the tenth fret but 'XI' for notes that would normally be on the twelfth fret?
