Thanks. Are the Skene transcriptions in lute tablature (and tuning) or
mandore tab/tuning?
They are in 4-line tab, with (often) a fifth string below the tab. For
six of them he states that "These six mandora pieces use a lute tuning"
(C f a d g').
He doesn't really specify what the tablature is for the others, but
since he does mention in the introduction that "the mandora is usually
tuned in fourths and fifths" it might be the mandora tab. But he
doesn't say what tuning.
