If you look at a few hundred written out arpeggios for lute, they have a number of interesting features, of which continuous bottom to top is really pretty rare. The best ones bring out lines. and use dissonance as pivot points. The instructions may (or may not) be for people who weren't that experienced with the technique. We can assume that an experienced player would ignore the instructions, just like I do when trying an electronic gizmo. dt
