It might also give you a version that differs from the one that you will be performing. There are a some editorial choices/additions that are made in Dido; indeed, if I remember right, the numbers with "gittars," indicated in the 1689 Josiah Priest school libretto, are not in the surviving score, which dates from at least 50 years later, and have to be added (by repeating the music from vocal numbers or some other way). So proceed with caution if you're going to use some other version. Safer to take the time to photocopy and cut up the part (after using the lower parts to figure the bass). -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
