My dear friend, it actually seems that DR, and other "friends" missed
the whole point. I never asked for someone to look pieces for me, I
only asked for recommendation for pieces that can be found in Serge's
and Wayne's websites.
Unfortunately to me, I don't have libraries to get information from,
the nearest library with early music is in Italy (maybe I can find
something in Egypt or Turkey), my main source of information is my
teacher, but he can't keep every piece of music ever written, I take
from him almost every thing I can to study. What I can't take from
him, I usually take from both sites, and If I can't find there, so I'm
looking in few editions to buy, and I buy when I can.
Some folks here plays many years, and I figured they have some
recommendation for pieces. And if someone will ask me for some six-
course german music, I will recommend instead of attacking him.

Sounds like somebody may be a touch spoiled or impatient here- some
of us old timers remember the days when we had to go to public
libraries and get our music by HAND COPYING IT on staff pages- 5 line
staves to which we hand ruled a 6th line if we didn't want it to be 5
line Attaignant style- from MICROFILM projections. That's how I got
my Thomas Robinson, Dowland's LoST, Le Roy's English printing,
Barley's book, Maynard's "XII Wonders of the World" and a few other
things. I still have one of these books, that I sweated over for
weeks- kind of like personal ms tabs from the real old days, before
any of us were born.
For other music, I had to learn to read lute music transcribed into
double-staff notation for a G tenor lute, not easy for a guitarist
used to "E" on a treble staff. (VALUABLE training!) I had to go out
and BUY this music as "hard copy" entities from "brick & mortar"
music stores- or mail (not "e"mail) order my music. Some of us old
farts occasionally still do this, in fact.
I got my 7 course stuff right along with the 6, 8, 9, or 10 course
music and was perfectly grateful to have it all, and sort it out.
Even when my only "lute" was a medium quality nylon string guitar.
Omer- I advise a little more patience, initiative; and better
manners, please.

I'm looking in some few books, but thank you for being an a***
Omer, it is obvious that english is not your first language.
DR's reply was remarkably polite, if a bit abrupt.
Your counter was not only downright rude, but also inapropriate.
To my knowledge three is no index of Lute sources which lists 7c
pieces,
much of the material published after 1500 is for either 6 or 7c
instruments. Note that anything for a 6c instrument is playable on
a 7c.
