Leonard,
you wouldn't possibly have made a note of that elusive GREEN sign in
Recercar 2 did you? I can't seem to find it in the SPES facsimile.
Text at end of recercar 13: "Sapi che poi principiare a sonare el 2.
recercar fin a quel segno fato de verde che vien poi
intrare in questo et sta melgio. O fa come te piace.
"Know, that you can start with playing the 2nd recercar upto the sign drawn
in green, then you can play this one, and
that is better. Or do as you please."
And Hooray for all the sensible libraries and kind people on this list who
are willing to share PDF's of lute facsimiles. The London and Paris
national libraries are sad rip-offs! Shame on them!
G.

Having had a cherished opportunity to peruse the unique Capirola ms in
Chicago, I can heartily agree with your sentiment. However, I was too
much
in awe of the thing to even think of trying to play from it!

Although I understand all of the issues, including compensating ppl
for their time, charging money for facsimiles is basically evil, and
in the long run everyone will be better served by having more music
available--more concerts, more audience, more work.
What all libraries should do is just put it all online, and then if
someone wants to make an edition and sell it, fine. Just make a PDF,
and upload it, and I guarantee that everyone will benefit.
This also prevents players from owning a repertory by limiting access.
If scholars want to sell the commentary as a separate book, that is
also fine, and continues an established tradition.

Still something that I don't get:
why are some public (public) libraries slowly making all their MS
available as a digital download - and I'm thinking about the the
Bayerisch Staatsbibliothek here in Munich, between others -, while
there are other PUBLIC libraries (hello, British Library ...) - that
still do not even seem to envisage that ...
Shall we (as single members of the list) put some pressure on our
local
libraries? Send an email to the curators of their music
epartments -
maybe as rightful, registered members of the library, as I guess
some
of us are - and ask about it?
(Of course, this doesn't want to diminuish at all the value of such
pubblication as the Dd.2.11 by the Lute Society. The scholarship
part
is something you dont get in a digital facsimile ...)
Your opinion, listers?

It's also worth noting that whilst some
of
the world's libraries are making digital copies of their musical
sources
available, there is currently no expectation that this, or indeed
any of the
Cambridge University Library manuscripts will become available as
free
electronic downloads.
