But it is 10-course lute music, not theorbo. JG

With only ten frets on the neck, you'll never have to go higher then three lines for the rare passages that go up that high; with nothing below the tenth course in this particular book, you'll only have one ledger line under the staff. I would suggest that you account for the re-entrant tuning (especially unison notes and campanellas) in your staff notation by indicating the string with numbers in circles the way it is done in modern guitar notation. (This would be helpful for non-players in visualizing the complexity of some sections that seem at first to be quite simple.) I would definitely avoid arranging it for guitar, however - the music doesn't work at all that way. My two cents. Good luck!

All the musical examples will be written with Django tab writer adding (automatically) its transcription. My question is: should the transcription be written on a single or double staff (treble and bass clefs)? I think that a single staff is more economical... I thought for a moment to transcribe it in (e) in order to easy the access to guitarists, but perhaps its just a fool idea. After all they don't have the deep basses (10 course).
