All, What a wonderful discussion my questions has provoked! I'm always impressed by the amount of knowledge and experience among the users of this group. Without wishing to hijack the discussion and the direction in which it's gone, some of my questions still remain. It would seem that I'm correct in my guess that O'Dette's version of "Lachrimae" is the A minor version from Dd.2.11. My next question is: does anyone recognize the divisions from Nigel North's recording of "Lachrimae" from the Naxos recordings? They are definitely not the G minor version from Dd.2.11 as found in Poulton, but I don't know all the different versions in existence. Does anyone know where they might come from? Is it possible that he provided his own? I would have thought that if anyone might take it upon themselves to use their own divisions (improvised or otherwise), it would be North. A final question, with which I am definitely pushing my luck: does anyone have a transcription of the A minor from Dd.2.11 in standard notation? The tablatures everyone provided are wonderful, and I'm very grateful. However, I also need to discuss some of this music with non-lutenists very soon, and I'm not certain I've got enough time to make a transcription into standard notation by that time. Should anyone, by chance, have any advice here, I'd be grateful, again. Any advice or suggestions would be very much appreciated. Best, Graham Freeman

Indeed, 7-6 was sorely missed (although that one is my ears, even when playing the Poulton version. Striking how what's in your head will influence so strongly what you hear). But how do you finger your version? I cannot hold all notes - or am I missing something again? Best solution would be to play the new g with the first finger and use that for the b-flat. Bass and soprano must be held, after all. Pity, though, not to be able to sustain the new g. Have to try this in some different versions.
