Re: getting your hands on the Bartlett edition--I had heard unhappy rumors
about King's Music and recently came across this article. Looks like the
music may still be available, but King's Music is no more. Very unfortunate.

I'm using an edition by Novello.
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;
I didn't know there were numbers with guitars, nice to know. My
decision to use a guitar is simply because it is the only baroque
instrument I have! However I noticed that the opera has many nice
places to use the guitar (chorus and dances).
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.
That's what I am about to do...
Safer to take the time to photocopy and cut up the part (after using
the lower parts to figure the bass).
